If anybody wanted to film "2016: Republicans' America", they could do so

with minimal set building ...

All they would have to do is have people in front of all these plants shuttered BEFORE 2009, talking about how they were stripped of a job.

Hell, you could count on using Consolidated Freightways in Richfield, Ohio ... Bush43 (yes, Republicans, there was a pResident between Clinton and Obama) made a rally stop in Richfield ... but chose to remain FAR from that site (shuttered in 2002, and your "notice" was left on your answering machine on Labor day) in his visit in 2003 ... in fact, it was about as far away from C.F. as he could get and still remain in "Richfield".

BTW, the C.F. property has stood UNOCCUPIED since, even with Bush's tax cuts still in effect.

And I remember that.

It was stark how he so obviously tried to pander for Buckeye votes and avoid evidence of his failed policies at the same time.

"I don't think any of the protesters were from Richfield. They were all bused in."

But then, I don't think there were that many people in the "rally" that were from Richfield, either. Probably an even lower percentage than in the protests ...

I think it starts up again in June 2013...I was thinking today they must be getting an amazing amount of show material as to what has happened since the last seasons show.

Just this past week has been so awesome.
