let's turn to john nichols, washington correspondent for "the nation" magazine and author of the bookng. john, you know the territory he is talking about. paul ryan says he's committed to the united states automobile industry. does his record reflect this in his campaign pitch? >> not in the least. and it's kind of shocking that he would go to other states and pitch himself as a champion of the american auto industry. when paul ryan was elected to congress in 1998, southeastern wisconsin was one of the centers for auto-making and for auto parts. under his watch, a major auto parts plant, delphi closed, the kenosha plant closed, the janesville plant in his own hometown closed. and at least in part they closed because of trade rules and federal policies that paul ryan backed. his own constituents, members of the united auto workers and local 95 and local 72 begged him to vote on the side of auto workers and he did not. >> okay, so the trade agreements that he supported hurt the automobile industry, and he didn't work for his constituents to keep those plants open. that's on the record.
