I'm old enough to remember the "Made in America" campaign.  Large banners in Wal-Mart that had the phrase "Made in America"
There was a logo where bars in red, white, and blue, were shaped into a star.  It was plastered on everything.   The local textile mill had one painted on its smoke stack.  That mill was demolished years ago.
I can never tell when they’re serious or just using more Orwellian language anymore. When McCarthy makes a statement like this I’m just as inclined to believe he’s going to sell out our interests to the Chinese for his own gain. >

I used to think they were serious about China, then I remember when I thought the same about Russia. >


“We will create a bipartisan select committee on China to investigate how to bring back the hundreds of thousands of jobs that went to China, and then we will win this economic competition,” 

He could leverage the nationalism the GOP has been trying to create to make "Made in America" a must have for their base.  Not that I'd be 100% on board with it, but it was something I thought Trump could've had traction with.
At this point,  I don't believe the GOP is truly serious about bringing jobs back as they say they are.  Exploiting that nationalism would be one easy method to make some progress. >

Like their corporate donors are going to be on board with that.
