Yesterday, Joe Biden showed up in Erie, Pennsylvania....at a local plant operation.
In his basic speech....he drifts around and finally at some point.....suggests in some fashion that their factory was 'thinking of shutting down'.
All heck broke loose in a matter of minutes, with workers walking around and asking what the heck is going on....they'd not heard any rumors of a shut-down....is there something going on that they'd not heard about? The union got called....the foremen got direct chatter from employees, and the management folks were quizzed.
Well....it took about two hours for the plant managers to realize the impact of the bogus statement, and they sat down to formulate a 'answer'.
In a direct way.....they said no....the claim of the shut-down was totally bogus.
How many workers did this piss off? I'd take a guess that more than half the folks there were in serious worry-status for two to three hours, calling their spouses over the potential impact, and this Biden speech basically sold them on voting for Trump.
Regionally? That one statement probably flipped a couple of thousand votes over to Trump.
Basically, it's another case where Joe needs to do more lid-time and ease-up on making speeches. The less seen or heard....the better off that the campaign is.
