1. GM moved many jobs to Canada in part to reduce healthcare costs

so the issues are tied together -- bad trade deals + lack of affordable healthcare here

Sanders is hitting hard today on Clinton's support for bad trade deals, NAFTA and TPP:

( Bernie Sanders “Now, American jobs are threatened by the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Hillary Clinton spoke favorably about the TPP 45 times. She called it the ‘Gold Standard.’ Now she says she ‘has reservations about it.’

“Tom Donohue, head of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and strong supporter of these job-crushing trade deals, is not worried about Clinton getting in the way of this deal. He said he knows that if she’s elected she’ll flip back to support it.

“Election year conversions won’t bring back American jobs. Bernie Sanders believes that the top priority of any trade deal should be to help American workers and he’s the only candidate who has consistently fought against job-killing trade deals.”

2. Thank you, that's important for everyone to think about

In Canada GM doesn't have to pay all the cost of figuring out health insurance.

Heading into states like Michigan and Ohio trade is a huge issue.

This is one of Bernie's biggest strengths.

6. Universal healthcare is good for business

and would help us level the playing field with other countries.

7. That's true.

Some car plants actually moved from Michigan to Canada because of all the money they saved on health insurance.

Also makes it easier to start a small business.

3. I actually posted that thing

The title was great I thought. Its clear trade policy will be a weakness for clinton these next few weeks.

4. I'll be interested to see the demographics of the Michigan vote

I wonder if they feel the love South Carolinians felt. The consequences were similar, but the Clintons went out of their way to hold South Carolinians close. I say, purely calculated politics because South Carolina is an important primary, it's the MOST important primary. Eager to see the results and learn the depths of the Clintons' concern.

5. Hillary will likely win but we will get delegates and move on
