But, even before he assumes office (on Jan 20), Trump threatened United Technologies and demanded that they do not move their Carrier Plant (air conditioner factory in Indianapolis) to Mexico. United Technologies blinked and agreed. <br /> <br />Ash, politics is about telling a better story. Trump will ride on this story for the next 4 years.SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790347071764332430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-76748083403799741582016-12-01T12:01:54.917-08:002016-12-01T12:01:54.917-08:00I usually stay faaaaar away from politics and that...I usually stay faaaaar away from politics and that's the reason why you don't see my comment on the other posts as well.

An independent candidate who also ran for President of the United States, Jill Stein, has started a process for recounting the votes in 3 States – Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. All 3 states were won by Trump by a narrow margin. It will cost her money to do that. She has appealed to the “Trump haters” and raised about $7 million.....This is new juicy news!

These are typically friends or acquaintances of politicians who stand in elections for Parliamant, State Legislature or Local Bodies' seats. These people are used to help the actual politician to win by somehow doing what he/she would have done.<br /><br />I don't know how or why, but I feel that Ms. Jill Stein is somehow working for Hillary :-)KKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16778157916183036144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-46299041612900085482016-11-27T19:25:31.972-08:002016-11-27T19:25:31.972-08:00Thanks for your comments Rajesh.
