Transcription
Wouldn't it be easy if we could really blame all of our troubles on foreigners? Well, here in the South, we know better than that, and we're bigger than that. We don't need scapegoats. We need solutions to roll up our sleeves and go to work, improving our schools, retraining our workforce, modernizing our factories, so we can outthink, outproduce, and outcompete the people of any nation on the face of this earth. Join me on March 8th, and we'll put America back on top.
