“He;s a Democrat who just lies and has a massive ego.”

I’m not sure that I am willing to call him a Democrat (marxist,) however he IS certainly a Progressive, so the deliniation is minimal!

He will certainly appeal to the low info GOP voters, but anyone that is willing to do a small amount of research will find that in the past he has supported abortion, he has suported a wealth tax of 14% and now he supports a very high tarriff. All are terrible ideas that would harm liberty and our economy.

If one wants a shrinking economy, then one would want to impose high tarriffs (his most recent proposal of 35%.) For example, Brazil has an approximate tarriff of 180% for subcomponent electronics. Their economy is currently on pace to shrinky by 30% this year. Their average income is about $12K, yet the average car price is $26K. This is a very apt example for today.

Historically, we can celebrate the protected economies of East Germany that gave its citizens the Trabant as the preferred vehicle, while the open market of West Germany had the much nicer VW. We could also review the results of the protective high tarriffs brought to us by Smoot-Hawley, putting the US into the Great Depression.

Trump would be a disaster and the fact that any FReeper is supporting him saddens me.

Trump is the only candidate who is for bringing back American industry, to America.

Nobody else is stating that as a goal.

I’m not sure how to define Trump, but he is so very right, about so very much, and all of it which in my opinion matters to America. Very much.

If you don’t support him, perhaps you should be talking to your own favorite candidate (whomever he or she might be) and ask them where are they, on these topics.

Because at the moment TRUMP IS THE ONLY ONE SAYING ONE WORD.

Completely series.

For a Democrat he articulates America better than any of the other candidates. He will get attention and bring young low IQ voters to the elections. He will do well in the social media, late night etc as he can speak through PC speak. He has turned the race into something fresh and new.

Pray America is waking

There you go bringing facts into a discussion.

How many times have reason and facts won out over passion and rhetoric?
Ya gotta have a catchy zinger of a catch phrase too.
And maybe a cutesy jingle that sticks in the mind.

You’re preaching to the choir on my end.
The Donald knows how to make money for the Donald, not the average person.

I think his economic plans, tariffs, taxes would be a disaster for us.
Sure, we could raise tariffs on imported goods.
Then our trading partners would raise tariffs on our exports and unemployment would shoot to the moon.
No one wins when you artificially raise the cost of goods you import.
No one.

Well this low information voter is trying to survive on 1965 wages while paying 4 bucks a pound for hamburger and 4 bucks a gallon for milk...And 5 dollars a box for cereal...

This low information voter has enough information to know that my country is being over run by muzlim terrorists and knows that there are millions of Americans on welfare and millions more who have given up looking for work due to the influx of (far more than 11) millions of illegals from across the border...

This low information voter knows we are about to lose our American sovereignty when this European trade bill gets passed...

So tell us low information voters which of these politicians should appeal to us...
