Sorry...I shortened the title and didn’t make that clear.

I suspect the obvious; that Trump is simply a stalking horse for Christie

[Pollster1]

Trump on Taxes “I would impose a one-time, 14.25% tax on individuals and trusts with a net worth over $10 million,”

No. A "one time" tax would become an annual tax, and the result would be the very rich fleeing the country or restructuring their assets to avoid the tax. The result would be breaking up small businesses between $10M and $50M, big enough to have to pay the tax but too small to survive or dodge the tax. The result would be more productive people going Galt, and leaving no one behind who knows how to create jobs.

[Karl Spooner]

Can anyone say that Obama/Hillary is better?

[South40]

Don't look at what he says now when he wants your vote. Look at his history.

1) “I probably identify more as Democrat.” —Interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, March 2004

2) “I’ve been around for a long time. And it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans.” —Interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, March 2004

3) “Nancy — you’re the best. Congrats. Donald.” —Handwritten note to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, January 2007

5) “I’m totally pro-choice.” —Interview with Fox News Sunday, October 1999

6) “I want to see the abortion issue removed from politics. I believe it is a personal decision that should be left to the women and their doctors.” —Remarks to reporters, December 1999

7) “I’m very liberal when it comes to health care. I believe in universal health care.” —Interview with CNN’s Larry King, October 1999.

8) “The Canadian plan also helps Canadians live longer and healthier than Americans… We need, as a nation, to reexamine the single-payer plan.” —Writing in his book, The America We Deserve, January 2000

9) “By imposing a one-time 14.25 percent net-worth tax on the richest individuals and trusts, we can put America on sound financial footing for the next century.” —Writing in his book, The America We Deserve, January 2000

10) “I think he [Obama] has a chance to go down as a great president.” —Interview with NY1, November 2008

Trump’s donation history shows Democratic favoritism

He has given money to what looks like a Republican enemies list, including Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Charles Rangel, Charles Schumer, Edward Kennedy, the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee of New York. He donated $10,400 to Harry Reid, including for his 2010 battle with Sharron Angle, the GOP nominee and tea party favorite. He has also been pro abortion. You're free to call all this what you'd like. I call it liberal.

[grania]

Trump must be doing something right if the Club for Growth wants to keep him out of the debates.

[ClearCase_guy]

I note that the pundits seem to have a list of Republicans who "don't deserve" to be in the debates.

I get the feeling that the plan is for Jeb to be on stage alone, kind of mumbling to himself in Spanish while the media pretends to swoon and say Hillary is surely in trouble now.

[familyop]

Why not? Putin would exclude him from the debates, just as the two socialist political parties here or the old Soviet Union would do the same.

[Ingtar]

I don’t know, he might liven up the Democrat debates. Oh? He’s running as a Conservative? What a laugh.

[rrrod]

I say let him in...Trump brings some fire to the otherwise dull campaign.

[biggredd1]

the rinobags and commies are in total meltdown now, and the panic can be seen in their dorky faces. bwahahahhaha!!!!!!

[GraceG]

Trump on Trade Trump has called for “a 20% tax for importing goods,” and a “Twenty-five percent tax on China, unless they behave.”

No No No, this will cause us to go into a depression, here is what we really need....if we wanna do Tariffs “Right”

We should have a Flat income tax of say 10% and guess what the Tariff Rate is based upon, the income tax RATE!

So if we have a Income tax of 10% we have a Tariff on imported goods of ... 10%!

If we have a National sales Tax instead of a Income tax and it is a 10% national Sales tax, then we have a 10% Tariff on imports....

Tie the Tariff to directly reflect the Nation Tax being levied on the Domestic side of things, that way this forces the Big Biz and Big Labour alike to want to lower the damned taxes domestically and if they want lower the tariffs, they will HAVE to lower the income tax on domestic production!

Extend this to H1B workers as well, they pay 10% income tax and also an additional 10% Labor Tariff! That way there is a demand to hire domestic vs. foreign workers unless they really really need the foreign workers...

I think directly tieing ANY Tariff Directly to whatever your National FLAT TAX rate is is a stroke of genius, it would make sure both sides have REASON to keep the rate itself lower.

So if someone wants to trade so damned badly and they don’t like the 10% Tariff they lobby and lower it to 8% well guess what income taxes have to go down to 8% which makes us and our workers more competitive which then lessens the detrimental effect of trading with some place like China.

If we are going to Tax Domestic Labor inside this country, then we damned well better tax good coming in as well and at the same RATE!

Any Tariff will ALSO have to follow the “Laffer curve” otherwise like with taxes we court disaster!

“We must have universal healthcare,” Trump wrote in his book ~~~~~~~~~~

What book, when? Could it be he has figured out that the numbers just don't work?

[cornfedcowboy]

I am interested in Trump’s exit strategy. I guarantee you he has one.

[RIghtwardHo]

Fortunately, he’ll fade away. I just hope he doesn’t do too much damage to us before he does.

[familyop]

Why the "Club for Growth" free traitors want him censored and want him barred from debates. Hysterical...

[HiTech RedNeck]

There had to be a fly in the Trump ointment.

Obamacare is such a fail. It needs serum of pure gimmick to keep it alive. How Trump could sell the idea after this revelation is, well, a mystery. If he wanted a chance he would dump the idea like a ton of fishery garbage.

[SpaceBar]

Curious that a supposedly conservative group wants to effectively censor Trump.

Donald Trump exposes the farce of the Republican Party.
