Jeb Bush was more programmatic. He stuck to his 4 percent growth target and emphasized that 2 percent secular stagnation is not acceptable. He wants lower tax rates, fewer regulations, unleashed energy, school choice, and Obamacare repeal. And he asserted at least twice that effective immigration reform is an economic-growth driver.

...“Democrats have opened our borders to all manner of horrific Third World violence, crime, and disease. The GOP has supported and endorsed this vile activity every single step of the way. Trump has tapped into the fury of the American people over the unrelenting anti-American NWO push of our paid employees in government. Trump could win this on this one issue alone. Americans are tired of being betrayed by their government on both sides of the aisle.”...

“Jeb Bush was more pogrommmaticly, self mutilating...”

This has protectionism written all over it. Mexico is our second-leading export market. China is our second-biggest trading partner. A 35-percent tariff, which Trump has hinted at in the past, would be a gigantic tax hike, setting off a global trade war and doing incalculable damage to our economy. We don’t need another Smoot-Hawley. Trump should have been asked about this by the debate moderators. Unfortunately, the subject of trade never came up.

Pure Free traitor propaganda.

Smoot-Hawley had a minimal effect on the depression. China and Mexico run HUGE trade deficits with the USA. So much BS so few shovels.

They run huge surpluses with the USA, we run deficits....

Yeah, let's stick with that globalism cheap labor race to the bottom for 95% of the global population. Because it's worked so well so far.

It makes me want to mend my wandering ways and get a bumper sticker that says: 2016: Jeb or Christie or Kasich. (sarcasm)

effective immigration reform is an economic-growth driver

I caught that line.

He will open the border and say its good for the economy.

They are bringing in a million legal immigrants a year on top of another million illegals, into a shrinking job market. I guess it never occurs to them that their job is to serve the citizens, that immigration policy should serve the interest of citizens. The border should be secured against illegals, and legal immigration should be reduced to effectively zero until the economy rebounds. Even then, how does it serve the citizen to have a million new immigrants each and every year?

So Kudlow thinks Kasich, Rubio and Bush are the winners. Polling shows they’re the big three losers. The POSITIVE approach to immigration: “Americans can do the work, themselves.”

Was just reading about an old company I used to work for that declared bankruptcy. Overseas competition and tax incentives hurt their bottom line.

Trump's protectionism is exactly why I'm voting for him.

He's the only candidate that understands the role our trade policies have had in de-industrializing America and causing our high unemployment.

That's our #1 problem at this point.

And trump is more than conservative enough on the other issues

42 Reasons Trump is conservative

There is (I assume it's still there) a provision in the WTO agreement that allows a scaled tariff in the face of chronic trade deficits. We should implement this immediately.

Scaled Tariff would help balance the budget

Go pound salt, Kudlow.

Immigration is THE economic issue. American citizens are losing jobs and quality of life to subsidized foreigners. It’s economic warfare being waged against Americans and people are fed up with it, that’s why Trump shot to the top of the polls for having the guts to address the issue.

Bush, Rubio and Kasich....three pubbie wimps who should just go away.
