Well, Trump doesn't even wait until he's elected until he contradicts what he promised yesterday.

If you try really hard, you will be able to piece it together.
I'm pretty sure it's YOU who is missing the point.


Here...let me help:


Nobody gives 2 cents about Kasich. As I recall, Kasich came in LAST. Or close to it.


/now you know.

Great post op.
The first post IS A GOOD post.
Your post reflects the thoughts of an arrogant know it all who loves to hear himself speak and has no business calling anyone else a blow hard.

Let's get coffee sometime😏😏😏😏

I am not sure why I should take anything that the "losers" in the primaries have to say in making my decision come November. There were, what, 15 of them? Out of 16 potential candidates, trump is the only one left!
So, I should listen to a bunch (or even a couple of) LOSERS?
I don't think so!
I'm not sure who I will vote FOR, but I do know I will vote AGAINST hillary.

Obama ran up the debt???

He inherited the Great Recession, the unfunded Iraq War, and massive deficits from the George W. Bush administration and Republican Congress.

http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/...cit_chart.html

The Republicans have controlled Congress for much of the Obama administration. Congress has primary responsibility for taxation and the budget.

The Republicans have done little to correct the fiscal imbalance in the U.S. With their "no new tax" pledges, they seem totally incapable of doing what is necessary.

E.g., there has been no effort to raise the federal gasoline tax, even though the American infrastructure is crumbling and federal gasoline taxes in real dollars have collapsed due to inflation and more efficient auto fleets.

http://www.infrastructurereportcard.org/

Increased infrastructure spending would have a massive multiplier effect on the U.S. economy, generating large amounts of income taxes and improving the nation's productivity.

Trump has promised to increase infrastructure spending, apparently financed by massive deficit spending. Then Trump wants to use his "bankruptcy expertise" to restructure the massive federal debt, made even more massive by Trump. Do his supporters really believe there is a "free lunch?"

One of my problems with the Democrats is that they are unwilling to take on the Republicans on the taxation issue. There are a plethora of loopholes that could be closed to generate more revenues, but a higher federal gasoline tax is essential IMO.

With lower gasoline prices, Congress has been derelict to not take advantage of the opportunity to raise the federal gasoline tax.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...e-the-gas-tax/

Alternatively, make the entire interstate system a self-sufficient toll system, with the same per mile tolls everywhere.

I mean, it was just a STUPID political move that could cost them. Kasich is very popular in Ohio (despite his flaws) and to have Manaforte call him stupid, stupid, stupid was just. . . well, stupid. AND then to have Donald call into Faux News whilst the grieving mother was on the stage crying that Hillary should be jailed . . . . just another amateur move.


Fox cut away from HER in order to let Trump talk on the phone about how hates Kasich.


What a mess his entire campaign is.

I'm not voting for him. Few are really paying any attention to what Trump says as it is not about Trump.

Quote:
Many, many Americans, including a large number of Trump supporters, don't want to be the world's policeman any longer. They want those hundreds of billions annually diverted to our domestic economy.
I disagree. I've argued this for years and very few side with my view. There is a thread elsewhere that I make this point where no one agree's with me.

That's why Trump's bombastic claims about his military prowess and ability to intervene globally are so disturbing.
They are. It's why I will not vote for him. Many that will do support the wasteful wars.

Bush ran the debt up also. He even argued that we shouldn't actually count the debt as debt.......let the future generations worry about it.

When he was questioned about what he believed should happen to women who had abortions should they become illegal he changed his 'position' in less than 3 hours.

Donny's 'positions' are like the weather in the north Irish Sea, if you don't like it wait 5 minutes and it'll change.
