Nobody can protect entitlements from the crash of the dollar.

Trump gets in and his first order of business is to try to steal Mike Huckabee’s thunder

Well, he did help make education useful and afordable for everyone with Trump University. He showed Eastern Airlines how to run NYC to DC shuttle with Trump Air. Everyone gets to benefits from the widespread fruits generated by Trump Towers and Trump Golf Courses. He never, ever fails.

“I can grow the economy at a fast enough rate to generate more revenue to the Federal Government so we can hand out more welfare.”

WTF????

That's the Libertarian Platform.

He’s right that the only way to save the entitlement programs is to grow the economy at a tremendous rate. Probably would take around 8-10% GDP growth rate I would guess. When compounded year over year, it adds up quick.

It’s what politicians have been trying to do—definitely saying it—for 30 years. In Trump’s case, he’s saying he could actually do it.

I believe him.

Protect entitlements. I wish we had a candidate with Trump’s fire but actually conservative goals.;

I was thinking after hearing Trumpets announcement that the best recourse for the rest of the Republican field, in dealing with his explosive stream of thoughts and pronouncements, they would have to take his applause lines as their own and move on. He says some super charged stuff that voters agree with, but Trump is never going to be coherent or proven solid enough to deliver them.

Guess that’s what Huckabee thought also. I mean, what do you do with a guy like that, especially in a debate forum if you don’t do a little co-opting on his good stuff and discard the bluster for what it is?

I don’t think Trumpet is up against any shrinking violets. Rubio and Fiorina come to mind as pretty quick on their feet, probably capable of cooling his jets.

Cruz is more than capable of delivering to the Don a tutorial on the limits of the executive branch, and to the reality of congressional power against establishing an executive branch fiefdom, noisily affecting international relations by wielding it’s loud mouth to the globe.
