God bless Donald Trump for entering the race. Here's what he had to say a while ago:


Trump offered an alternative plan for the international trade negotiations under way. He said Ford and other companies looking to move manufacturing to Mexico or overseas should face a 35 percent tax when they ship the goods back to the U.S.
That would bring the plants back home, he argued. “That’s what’s going to happen, and there are hundreds, thousands of those deals,” he said. “I will make this country so rich – if I run on the 16th – just you watch.”

I'd love to see him hammer all the other candidates about why they're all so determined to ship American jobs abroad. Jobs and the state of the economy are the number one concern of all Americans and this would bring a subject no other candidate on either side wants to talk about to public attention. The media would be forced to cover it. It would be a truly populist issue that all candidates from both parties would then be forced to talk about and take a position on.


But unfortunately the GOP and the media will probably be able to bury the truly important stuff Trump is talking about with coverage of all the other Mexican-related stuff he's talking about. And whatever comes out of his mouth next. No message discipline unfortunately. If he just stuck to hammering the jobs issue he'd be the front runner and everybody would be forced to respond to him. It's the economy, stupid.
