These are the two policies he trumpets as how he will increase jobs in the US.

The absolute best case scenarios to these two things is that we can now have all those jobs that un-documented Mexicans are currently doing, and put a few thousand more people to work in factory jobs. I can't imagine that there are too many worse jobs than those two categories.

She should be pointing out that he is insulting the American public by thinking that those are the jobs that the majority of the country wants. The trick is doing it in a way that doesn't insult the blue collar workers that are part of her base in key states.
You mean like the high paying engineering and IT jobs that are going overseas? I think you being a bit naive.

Certainly, Trump was not impressive, but the offshoring of good jobs is a big issue in the US.
