Well, I know that the press has been beating the “he hates women” drum for months and it’s worked but if women ever found out his vision of government is protection and taking care of all your health and education needs than they might think “oooh, that’s what I’ve been looking for! Who needs Bernie Sanders!”

To bad you typed all those words. Frumpy isn’t clueless or he wouldn’t be where he is. Trumps a lot of things, but clueless isn’t one of them.

Cruz said his home state was Florida. Trump’s positions on these subjects are written in black and white and can be viewed on his home page.

This is not a surprise to many of us. But at this point... What difference does it make? Hillary’s priorities will be front and center this time next year.

Psychopath Willie Crystal and his ,”Weekly Substandard” birdcage liner knowingly distort an answer. These,are issues not responsibilities regarding the Feds is what Trump said. But Psycho Willie is so delusional he’ll grab at at any straw, including imaginary ones.

Security is broad based and is the greatest responsibility of givernment, from a constitutional construct, because without it, freedom could not prevail. However, if investment in its people are not supported, then freedom would never flourish, because too many people would be in need of government. Investment in people, done correctly, protects freedom and our country. He is correct, but left out protecting the rule of law.

"I would also say health care, I would also say education."

A Karl Marx Conservative.

Not necessarily a bad answer. That would probably be the answer for most American people. The only people this will offend are the "constitutional conservatives". Health care is a big issue for our country, but I think Trump is right about the way it is done. Fred Thompson, and many other conservatives have said the same thing. Let health care be opened up across state lines, and let the market deal with it.

Rush and Levin will scream to the high heavens about it, but they've lost touch with people. That's why they are losing their audience. Same with NRO, and others.

Obamacare was a total disaster. Trump is saying let the market deal with it. Sheesh.

Why is it people don’t pay attention to what he has said over and over??? Why do people read what they want to hear into what Trump says???

It said “top three functions of government.” It didn’t say FEDERAL government. The local government is always closer to the people and that is where Trump has already said responsibility for education belongs

You must learn there’s a difference between FEDERAL government, STATE government and LOCAL government. But they ARE all governments.

He did not say the opposite of what he said before. He’s been consistent on his education position since at least 2000 (in his book The America We Deserve). I take it you did not watch the town hall. He never said “federal” government. Anderson followed up on that, and Trump made clear that he meant the local governments should be in control of schools. Maybe you wouldn’t have this problem with Trump if you’d watch what he actually says, instead of just reading hit piece misinterpretations by a publication run by someone who said he prefers Hillary to Trump.

He did say that. They’re getting desperate now. I still didn’t think his health care answer was bad. It is a real problem.

He doesn't know what the hell he's for. This is because he has no core principles, no guiding philosophy or morality outside of "greed is good".

You know this based on your vast experience as a captain of industrytard.

If he builds the wall, undoes AfricaCare and redefines rules of engagement, he will be one of the most consequential president of all time. I don’t care for a policywonk or someone who aces civics.
