Andrew Yang is correct: we are treating 2020 like a game show. The notion that Donald Trump will be "tough" to defeat means America may already be lost. That should be the dialogue. ANYONE should be able to beat him in a civilized country.

Regular contributor Scott Paul, of the Alliance for American Manufacturing returns for another must-listen hour of the Leslie Marshall Show.

Is President Trump's ongoing trade war with China really helping the people it was intended to protect?

How do "Rust Belt" voters that sided with Trump in 2016 feel about the ongoing struggle of American manufacturing?

Leslie and Scott Paul investigate just how well, if at all, President Trump is doing at revitalizing the manufacturing sector in the United States.

While not all skewing negative, Scott Paul argues Trump's "winning" is marginal at best, when it comes to growing the US manufacturing economy.
