Wayne Allyn Root ran for vice-president on the Libertarian ticket in 2008. His book The 'Murder of the Middle Class' offers an explanation for the obvious collusion between Establishment Democrats and Republicans in Washington to create a two-class society—the very poor and the very rich. His most recent book 'The Power of Relentless' has just been published.
Root is a Donald Trump supporter, because he see Trump as an alternative to "more of the same." He says:
Something amazing just happened. A few days ago I watched Donald Trump give a political speech in a football stadium in Mobile Alabama. I watched Trump deliver the most inspiring political message since Ronald Reagan. When it was over, I knew I had just watched the next President of the United States…
If…
If Trump can devise a simple, commonsense, easy to remember plan to truly make America great again…
And if he sticks to that plan 24/7 for the next 15 months until the 2016 election.
My favorite line of the night – "We'll make America great again…and it will be FUN!" Yes it will be. Now here's the plan:
"The Great 8."
Trump wins the presidency if he lays out his vision for the first year as President. This plan contains eight simple, popular, east to remember solutions that Trump will fight for in that all important first year as President of the United States. Donald, if you're asked anything else, just keep going back to these eight simple points. "Stick to The Great 8…and the rest can wait."
The average voter doesn't want to read detailed position papers. The average voter can't deal with too many issues at once. They want jobs…they want to keep more of their own money…they want to get rid of Obamacare…and they want to make America great again. That's it.
Relentlessly stay on message. If the media asks you about anything else, here's your answer…
"We have a lot of problems in this country. A president can't do everything at once. No one ever has. Let's start with important stuff that's quickly doable. We'll deal with the rest later. It's time for "The Great 8…and the rest can wait."
Why should Donald stick to "The Great 8"? Because no presidential frontrunner can withstand 180 more days (prior to the first vote in Iowa) of "gotcha" questioning and withering attacks by the liberal media with an agenda to elect a Democrat.
So please Donald …STICK TO THE SCRIPT!!!!
My new book "The Power of RELENTLESS" is out. In both business and politics RELENTLESS works. So announce "The Great 8." Stick to these "Great 8" and only these "Great 8." Nothing else matters. Stick to the script relentlessly.
1. I will build a wall.
BUILD A WALL and they will come- voters that is.Trump must keep "the wall" as his #1 issue. The biased liberal media has lied and covered-up the truth for years: most of America is on your side.This could be the one issue both black Democrats and white conservatives agree on- illegal immigration is killing jobs for American citizens.
Trump needs to keep it simple: "I will build the wall, secure the border, deport illegal aliens who commit felonies, and stop anyone already here illegally from getting welfare. We'll also make English the official language of USA. We'll deal with rest of immigration issues later.
2. I will be "The JOBS President." I'll build a team of 10 of the most brilliant business leaders in US history. These 10 together will have created millions of jobs. We'll turn it around with the ideas of this amazing brain trust. And we'll have one important rule- no government bureaucrats involved.
3. I will repeal and replace Obamacare. Obamacare is destroying the US economy- killing jobs, raising taxes, imposing regulations, dramatically raising insurance premium prices and prescription drug prices for middle class Americans. I will repeal it. I'll appoint Dr. Benjamin Carson to head this huge project. He is only one qualified to save US healthcare system. We need a brain surgeon- no joke. We happen to have the best one in the world.
4. I will give the American people a Reagan-esque low flat tax for individual taxpayers and corporations. We will give the money back to the people. It's YOUR money, not governments.
5. I will cancel every single regulation imposed by Obama and Bush- we'll go back to Clinton levels. This is as moderate and reasonable of an idea as it gets. You want jobs? Regulations are strangling business. Businesses either close their doors, or move jobs offshore. The biggest regulation years in history were all under Obama and the last year of Bush. I'll wipe 'em all out. Regulations are strangling the economy. If Democrats liked the economy under Bill Clinton, GREAT! Then let's go back to his last day in office. Start there- with only those regulations. It's time for a re-set.
6. I will make people on welfare of any kind WORK. We have to level the playing field. It's not fair to give people welfare and then allow them to not work...while rest of us go to work each day. Everyone that needs welfare in America will get it, but they have to work. PERIOD.
7. I will hold our government accountable. In America no one is above the Law...people have to trust govt. If politicians break the law, they must pay the price just like rest of us mere mortals. Obama talks about "fairness." So I'm going to level the playing field between the people and the politicians.
Trump needs to say, "I will investigate and prosecute Obama for the massive IRS conspiracy…
I will investigate and prosecute Hillary Clinton for all of her many scandals- including the Benghazi lies and cover-up; 32,000 deleted emails; risking the national security of America with classified emails on her personal server; as well as billions of dollars in bribes (aka donations) accepted at The Clinton Foundation while Hillary was Secretary of State…
And from this day forward Congress has to live by same rules as the American people. Anything Congress passes applies to Congress too."
8. "I will always support Israel and I will cancel the Iran Treaty. Period."
End of story.
Then Donald must tell the press…"That's all I will talk about- 'The Great 8.' The rest can wait. We'll deal with all the rest after my first year. But I'll take care of these eight in my first year. The media can try to distract the people with personal questions. I won't play that game. If the media asks me about anything else...I'll go back to these eight simple principles to make America great again."
Relentlessly stick to the plan. Do that for 15 months and Donald Trump will be the 45th President of the United States.
It smells like feeding time.
This is effing awesome.
#2 is vapid advice. How many job creators (e.g., Silicon Valley entrepreneurs) are sorry leftists? We know what the government needs to do to enable job growth—lower taxes and regulation, including repealing Obamacare. (Which he actually addresses in #3,4, and 5).
#1 however, is insufficient in itself. Every proamnesty GOPe candidate says he or she is for protecting the border. But with 30 million illegals in the country presently and chain migration set to goose that to 90 million, simply walling off future illegals who would come through Mexico is insufficient for saving the country.
What mattered at the time was would this man (Eisenhower) have the ability to put together a detailed plan to put Allied forces on the European mainland and would he be able to pull together the proper resources to execute that plan.
Make America Great Again! Glenn Beck can go back to the drawing board.
WE’RE THROWING THE DAMN ILLEGALS OUT!
I’m for Cruz, but Trump may be the only way to break the stranglehold of The Cheap Labor Express on the GOP.
Currently the Democrats represent the illegal aliens
The GOP represents their employers.
No one represents the citizens.
Stop the invasion and repeal obongocare is a must. That will win the working american vote.
Me Likey!
Yup-It ain’t rocket science.
If Trump (or ANY candidate) starts letting the MSM yank them around... they’re done.
‘F’ the MSM and stick to the agenda.
Re: #1. You’ve got to start somewhere. Fix the leaking roof before you begin to repaint.
Nothing on tort reform. The lawyers and judges must be restricted on their extortion racket. Blackrobe tyrants can’t be allowed to make laws that suit their personal fancies.
OPSEC
Trump won’t let on about certain key issues because they are sensitive in as much as timing, security and such, and no amount of weaseling by the MSM will get anything from him.
Go back to levels even lower than Reagan.
Trump will possibly make a slip and the media (and the RNC) will be all over him.
This is a combined MASS effort to prevent this man from coming anywhere close to the Presidency.
All means will be used against him and he knows it.
Those that dislike him are baffled at how much support he has had up to now because they do not have a clue how upset the nation is with the path since 2009.
He is considered a buffoon but yet presents himself as a man who can get things done by cutting the bull____.
People are tired of the pontifications of the Messiah and want, a real, down to Earth “Bulldozer” of a man they know can move not only Earth but issues, bills and install a sense of JOB WELL DONE AMERICA! That is what many folks want now - just get the job done, and he is the ONLY candidate who seems to be successfully putting this point across.
Awesome!!!!!!!
If Cruz can humble himself and be willing to be Trump’s VP choice (if he chooses him as his running mate) he will probably be president in the next term and it would be a slam dunk. Trump / Cruz for 2016
On jobs, its simple. If you offshore your factories, you pay a tariff to get access to the American consumer.
He's made about 15 'slips', and all they do is propel his poll numbers higher.
He's tapped into the widespread hate of Language Fascism (a.k.a., "political correctness").
