Entropy, let’s discuss, honestly, this list:
1. Illegals. There has been some recent scuttlebutt about his position on this issue and the border fence. And, I know the response of Trumpers, but how can he be opposed to illegals and “allow hard working” ones to remain?
2. Military - How is he strong on his other then talking about vets and setting up a fund for them. What is his vision for the military?
3. Veterans: I agree with you here. He has been AWESOME here.
4. Foreign Trade - He has the right ideas about China. But, what about his foreign interests for business?
5. Obamacare - He supported and still does, SINGLE PAYER.
6. Balanced budgets - Really? When did he say that and how will he accomplish this?
7. Iran - What makes him Conservative on Iran? Saying that Persians are skilled negotiators and that it was a bad deal doesn’t make him Conservative. Right, yes, Conservative, not necessarily.
8. ISIS - What is he going to do about ISIS? He opposed the Iraq War. Bombing oil fields won’t do it.
9. Infrastructure - What has he said about this?
Just asking. I have not heard him espouse anything on any of these issues.
“Just asking. I have not heard him espouse anything on any of these issues.”
Virtually all the candidates choose a few of their pet issues and hammer home on these while out there on the stump. Reagan used this technique, he chose 2 or 3 main issues to campaign on, and won. Trump’s issues are illegal immigration and the lousy treatment of our Vets, primarily. If asked questions on other topics, he always has an answer, and so far, I’ve been pleased with most of his answers, because they are conservative ones we endorse.
As you don’t like him, and haven’t from the gitgo, I doubt you even listen to much of anything he says. I also know, as do you I’m sure, that ALL of the candidates, Trump included, will be questioned thoroughly on all of the hot button issues at the debates, so within a couple of weeks, you will know a lot more about the candidates than you do today.
Trump has only been in the race for about a month, and is a businessman primarily, not a politician. We will learn much more about him and his views as time marches on. If you want pat answers, listen to the politician candidates, if you want perhaps less pat but a whole lot more honest answers, listen to Trump.
Trump is the right man at the right time in history. He’s going to do just fine, with or without your individual support. He can easily live without your approval as many other Freepers will pick up the slack and carry Trump’s banner for him (or wear his “make America great again” hat, lol. I love that hat.
1. Please name which of the 15 others will deport ALL illegals.
2. Trump wants to make military so strong, there will be need for wars. No one in their right minds will want to go war with us. I heard him say that on TV.
4. Trump has said “At this stage in his life, welfare of the country is much more important than even his life”.
That explains why he traveled to the border ignoring threat from El Chapo Guzman.
5. I have not heard him say he supports single payer. And I watch news a lot. May be he said that many years back. I am for mandated healthcare, but not single payer. Too much fraud in Medicare & Medicaid. See my profile page for how I would set up healthcare. But Trump is definitely against Obamacare.
6. I saw him say that on a TV interview. If Trump has to balance budgets in his 500 businesses, I would think it is in his blood. Note that easiest way to balance budgets is by growing the economy.
7. Iran is easy to answer. Do more of what brought Iran to negotiating table in the first place. More sanctions will be a good starting point.
8. You need to understand that wars can not be fought without money. ISIS’s main source of money is oil fields. If you cut the snakes head off, the body dies.
9. Trump travels all over the world frequently. He sees the world class infra structure in other countries first hand. Ours is old and falling apart. He said that on TV. I noticed that myself when last year I visited Taipei, Hong Kong, and Singapore. The infra structure in those places made ours look like 3rd world when I returned.
