Third World America here we come, unless something changes.
2. Stop outsourcing. Use tariffs just as Alexander Hamilton did in order to foster a stronger manufacturing capacity. Would you rather purchase quality, durable products manufactured here, or cheap Chinese junk that falls apart two seconds after it leaves the store. Anybody who doesn't think the U.S. can produce quality goods needs to take a look at Buck Knives, Maglite flashlights, Mossberg firearms, Craftsman tools, or any number of other things made right here today.
3. No more foreign excursions. Let other people fight their own wars. See George Washington's Farewell Address. Enough said.
So then, I'd never win a presidential election. Why? You figure it out.

Well I would absolutely vote for you based on your first 2 points. The third one is a little too broad for me. While I agree we shouldn't be fighting other people's wars- I would be a little unfomfortable with such a broad statement. I prefer more to take conflicts on a case-by-case basis.
However-knowing only those three positions that you stated above-you would have my vote over Hillary, Obama or McCain. Why not run?
I think that you would get more votes than you think. The real problem is that your positions are too "pro-American" and the MSM would bury you or label you as some type of protectionist wacko. That is a shame because in my opinion, America needs protection like she has never needed it before.
