  • Trade imbalance and international commerce treaties.
  • Disincentivizing corporations from packing up and leaving. Wanna avoid local laws? You have to pay up.
  • Rewriting the NATO charter to address today's threats. Khrushchev has been dead for sometime.
  • Rebuilding the military instead of just using it.
  • Bringing real competition to health care instead of comforting insurance companies with "risk corridors".
  • Sticking it to the two-faced Wall street guys who benefit from Republican tax cuts but vote for Democrats. No more 15% rates for you.

Now, you may not like what you see but that doesn't mean he has no policies.
Most of what he claims is laughable, you know, when ever says something coherent.

He is shameless in expropriating Trump's policies without the slightest flinch. He now wants to build a wall, deport illegals and check up on Muslims. He has not been asked what he thinks about abortion, NATO and a host of other issues that the press has been hounding Trump for.

Why are you quoting me when you have nothing to say about what I said?

"Can't miss" Trump and a woman who thinks Scientology is a good idea?

I'm waiting for someone to ask him about that trade imbalance with Mexico. The way he keeps saying that he's going to pay for the wall with that, I wish someone would ask him for more specifics. How can you pay for a wall out of monies due to many Mexican companies? And why should the Mexican companies pay for it?

Trump came across very well on many subjects like drugs, education, etc.

Maybe on time to snatched it away from Cruz!
All Kasich is saying is that he is the one who will beat Hillary while having 29 State loses.

Cruz has lost a few States less than Kasich but still a lot of loses.

I believe Trump will end up winning and the big endorsement Trump got from the border patrol union is a very nice endorsement and says a lot.

It is paid by companies who want to conduct business over here and through other trade negotiations.

Just alone the fact that less drugs and rapes can get into this country should be a huge benefit from building a wall.

The government right now is guilty for not enforcing the laws at a minimum.

Liberals don't want a wall as they want more illegals to get more votes and if your kids get raped or murdered they consider that a side issue.

There are a lot of things Trump can do.

Illegal immigrants from Mexico living in the U.S. send over 20 billion a year back home. That is just illegal immigrants. No tax on that money. Trump can easily tax that money 30% that is outgoing. That's 7 billion in 1 year. Wall only 10 billion.

It's really not expensive the wall. Just politicians like the status quo. That's why when Trump talks about tweeking NATO or the UN - everyone is up in arms. These politicians don't want to work.

It's kinda like when in sports, a team is lazy, and then they hire a winner like Bill Parcells to coach the team. He has the guys on the stairmaster, after the game, before they can even shower. He gets the best talent, everyone works hard, and they thank him in the end.

Absolutely. And everyone on these forums is paying for Healthcare for these illegals. The illegals are treated better than the wounded warriors.

It wasn't really a topic before Trump. Because nobody did anything about it, nor wanted to. Nobody wants to tackle the issue.
