It also means suppressing capitalism which does not fly on the right side.

Not really. Trump isn't my first choice, but if the choice is Trump v. Hillary or Sanders then it's a no brainer.

I really wish the Democrats would serve up a candidate who wasn't a left wing moonbat.

Those are all bumper stickers. How are they going to take back America? Republicans are good at catchy slogans but there's no meat behind the fly. "Take back our Country" is just empty sloganeering that resonates among the angry.
First let's find out who they mean when they say "Take back America". If it's Trump and his tweet, I'd most likely guess that he wants to take back the country from Mexico. It certainly isn't China as that's where all his products with the Trump brand are made except for those made in Mexico. Not one product in the Trump brand is made in America.
Second is the HOW. Once we can pin the republicans down to who they're talking about when they say, "Take Back our Country", then we can get an explanation as to HOW they exactly intend to do that.
Nobody but the republican base is going to vote for somebody who has a handful of empty slogans and no definitive solutions.

So short answer

"Take back our country"=======FROM WHO?
"Take back our country"=======HOW?

Give me definitive answers to these questions and I might take a second look at the candidate who provides the most complete answer to these critical questions.

But any candidate who just parrots the "Take back the country" without answers or solutions is just a pandering blowhard IMO.

Trump's products are of course gonna be from China.

What's made in US??

My laptop is from China, my phone, clothes...etc.

What can Trump do about it??

He already said he buys from China.

Cause they dump it all over and if he doesn't get he can't compete.

He's gonna tax them and manufacture will come back.

These free trade guys are absolutely stupid.

Woo Hoo! Then it's Ms. Clinton for the win in a landslide! Keep on with your smart picks, Repubs!

I couldn't care less about Trump's views on immigration, it's his manipulation of bankrupcy laws that makes me sick. Seriously, don't any of you Trump supporters care about his barely legal business practices? Do any of you who are not wealthy think for a minute that he cares anything at all for your economic interests? Really, how naive can you be!

I'm going to register as a Republican for the primaries so I can vote for the fool Trump, and thus hand the general election over to the Dems.
