She voted for Mr. Trump but wonders why he made trade such a big deal.

"Do you think he created an issue that wasn't really an issue from your point of view?" Reynolds asked.

"Right now, yes. In hindsight, yes," Limberg said.

She hopes this may just be a negotiating ploy by the president, and so does Schwager.

1. Hope away . . . . .

2. If TRUMP loses rural Wisconsin, he loses the state.

Rural and white blue collar voters were the difference between Hillary and Trump here. It was a few thousand votes.

10. If he fucks up on trade

we could get Wisconsin, Michigan and pa back very easy in 2020.

As long as Virgina, Co and Nevada hold.

11. Don't forget Iowa too.

Trump is going to seriously hose farmers. Iowa has, what, six electoral votes and a lot of its economy is ag based.

3. Don't worry, the Trump Tariff Survival Packages are on the way!

Apply liberally, bite down on your Trump-brand bridle*, and hold on to something.

6. Yeah

Trump's strategery is to run all the GOP small farmers out of business so he and his billionaire pals can snap up all their land!



GOP farmers never learn it seems.

8. Thank you friend,

you just posted the truth. White Wave Foods(Davis Family,who btw own Sun Country )are waiting with bags of cash to pull this off. Two years ago,they sold off their DAVISCO Cheese operations to Bell Cheese of Holland giving them Billions in cash to make this happen.

BTW,these surplus Dairy Cows will go to Market at Distress prices. The small operators will lose their Milk Buying contracts and be forced to Dump their herds within days. You can only dump your milk for just so long before the bill collector shows up in the yard. BTW,believe Wisconsin passed a anti dumping law in the early 60's in order to block the NFO.

You deserve everything coming your way.

My empathy to those who didn't vote for Trump.
