"We need people to be able to come into our country, do your jobs …" That's apparently a real Trump quote. What kind of pill did Dr. Jackson give him? https://t.co/cmIppGqhRb https://t.co/sdOQCjUDVL

Very odd Trump would say this at Michigan event. Does he think this is a rallying cry? Like saying: 'They're going to come, they're going to take your jobs. But then they have to go out …'

Remember the war against Trump?
That's the kind none of us dreads
Though he may have won all the voters
We had all the op-eds

We must have pluralism "cherishing particular identities" of an "irreducibly diverse" citizenry.
But no"identity politics" or "tribalism"!
Got it?

Also, maybe Ford shouldn't have broken up its partnership with Mazda, who designed the platform for many successful Ford cars (i.e. original Fusion) and still make excellent sedans. Another Mulally mistake? https://t.co/KRFg2hoPIU

Kind of a good point–what does Obama's silence mean? Could cut both ways. But you'd think if the Obama's thought Jackson was doing a bad job they'd have moved him out … https://t.co/jzf7OSGKU6

"Chasing trends to please nervous shareholders is probably not the best way to take the big-picture view." @TruthAboutCars on why @Ford's move might be stupid. https://t.co/kCoEI5NjOY Psst: Cars still 35% of the market. And many Ford products weren't even bad https://t.co/5iQYYB4xv7

Seems wrong to portray guaranteed jobs as "stark break" from neoliberal politics when it was included in Charles Peters "Neoliberal Manifesto" in 1982 https://t.co/jvyUu9vtoQ Also pushed by @TimothyNoah1 https://t.co/yxulsfEVLQ and me https://t.co/tF6qOS6ka0 https://t.co/8Qsb9zXykW

Turns out this is a mostly bum rap on Mulvaney. (Wish it weren't.) As @AnnCoulter & @DailyCaller note, he was telling bankers *constituents* have most influence. The bit about donors getting heard seems a joke, not fund-raising pitch https://t.co/g5uYMQYj7t https://t.co/Dtzodv6nV8

The Fiesta and Focus sedans in particular had big reliability problems. Alleged @Ford savior Alan Mulally pledged to fix them. He didn't. Still rated "Much Worse Than Average" by Consumer Reports. https://t.co/AdiD8T0tlw https://t.co/hzOmZ0Jxh7

People are buying Civics and Camrys, made in US. If they don't want to buy Ford's competing products at prices that let Ford make $, that tells you something about Ford. Not something good. https://t.co/A5LnghkNPw

Clueless headline writer? Ford isn't just abandoning American sedans. It's abandoning *all* sedans–even the ones made in Mexico–in America.//"Ford is about to abandon American sedans" https://t.co/uNckYoMwsv via @luxury

Correction: 6 of the top 20 selling vehicles are cars, not 7. Two each for Nissan, Honda, & Toyota. Ford has basically given up on this segment. Not a sign of strength! Note also that light trucks, which it hasn't given up on, are protected by a 25% tariff. https://t.co/vu6z7wyWF1
