This is such a huge demographic because of the geographic importance of the states they reside in. The GOP is flipping the union base out from under the democrats.

It's a voting block shift.
Just to jump on this to further my point, the isolationist, protectionist argument Trump kept pounding speaks to iggy_oi's representation of discouraging innovation and efficiency to preserve jobs. This is a message that desperate production and manufacturing unions in the US rust belt are are looking to hear, whether it's true/practical or not.

Well, Neve Campbell is Canadian, so that shouldn't be a big deal.

Babs and Cher are going to Spain or Australia or something.

I'd take Cranston in a heart beat, he's cool.

I wonder if we get a speech from either Trump or Clinton before midnight MST. I'm getting tired and want to go to bed.

I can't see it, this is still going to go to the bitter end.

That would actually be a fitting end to this debacle.

Wow, any other prophecies Nostradamus? Because politicians never sloganeer on one thing, then do the exact opposite once in office.

Honestly, it would have been better for the FBI to arrest her months ago and let Biden take over.

Hideous performance.

I'm not comfortable that we have somehow ended up on the same side of this argument but this and your prior post are very astute. IF Trump does what I think he's going to try Canada needs to get ready to defend trade relationships.
