The guy who paved the way for Clinton was the liar who boasted: “Read my lips - no new taxes”, and then reneged on that pledge.
Yep. A lot of the other candidates haven’t released their detailed plans yet either. It’s traditionally done in this post-Labor Day phase of the race, so Trump, like the others, is right on schedule—but somehow Trump detractors try to make it look like he’s particularly deficient and delinquent.
(Heck, Biden, Jerry Brown, Mitt Romney, etc., are still making noises about getting in the race—and so they haven’t released any official positions yet.)
I doubt one Trump supporter on this forum can state exactly what Trump has to say about any issue besides immigration.
I’ve read both of his books regarding this, The America We Deserve and Time to Get Tough. He’s pretty clear on all of the issues in them.
Refer to comment #16.
And since they have malicious intentions, we should take a page from Star Wars and call them "Darth Invaders."
“No one’s asking him to be wonkish, but it would help if he showed ANY substance.”
It is interesting what you are saying, but you’re wrong.
I’ve noticed Trump does not think like a politician, or talk like one. A politician telegraphs his “substance” first and foremost and will try to make even insubstantial things substance.
Trump’s substantive things come out almost as asides. He thinks like a business man entrepreneur where it is already a given that substance will be there, because why even talk otherwise.
I live and work in the D.C. area. It gets so exhausting and stressful day in and day out, trying to communicate everyday interactions with a majority population who does not speak English as their first language.
It's one thing for Trump to say he's going to do all of these things. But any time Trump is asked the simple question "how?", he makes perfectly clear that he has absolutely no idea how he plans to do any of these things.
Empty platitudes and slogans are not policies. And they are all Trump has.

Well stated. That analogy works so well because it is actually true. I was trying to come up with a sports analogy, like, the coach doesn’t need to know the science behind football inflation in order to be the best at running a winning football team.
How did all of those magnificent hotels and other structures in his real estate empire get built? Is Trump a construction engineer, laborer, foreman, architect, heavy equipment operator, lawyer, banker, electrician, security guard, bellboy, and so on ?
Well, how does he do it?
Excellent rebuttal to those deeply engaged in “Bulverism.”
“Substance on the issues, FRiend. He’s got none.”
Can you provide a contrast? Who does have substance on an issue and what is it?
“I’m not sold on her in the least, but look at Fiorina’s response to the same Putin question. She gave specific details of things she would do to put Putin in his place.”
Which were?
Haha! Of course the GOP Establishment candidates haven’t provided the details for every single policy proposal they’ve mentioned.
I’ll respond with a question. Have all the GOP Establishment candidates (including Carly) released the level of detail that you require????
It's called "looking for a problem to have."
LOL that’s what I was thinking too, as if these naysayers can point to any other candidate and say, “See? Marco Rubio went over to Syria himself and killed a bunch of ISIS guys! Then he used his skills to find funding to build a bunch of warplanes, which he armed himself loading the munitions, and he personally poured the concrete for several new college facilities in the MidWest, all while he was negotiating with drug companies to supply veterans’ hospitals with medicine...” etc
Apparently, there are still many places in the country where this issue is not a major problem. It is not just the language barrier that is annoying. It is also the entitlement mentality where foreigners living in our country feel strongly that America owes them. This is not to mention basic etiquette in places like public restrooms. Half the public toilets have poo left in them and also pooey hand prints and messes from unsupervised children who don't seem to know how to use the toilet. My wife and I were in a restaurant and the couple in the booth behind us changed one of their toddler's soiled diaper on the table and then left it behind when they left. The staff was aware and didn't say a thing about it.
No he doesn't.
What you are really asking for is for him to give away his "playbook" before you'll let him into the game!
Could you tell what nationality they were?
I have a weekend job full of “diversity” and the employees eat in the break room, then go back to work and leave their piles of trash right on the table where they ate, even while there are waste receptacles nearby for them to dispose of it. Just utter disregard for personal responsibility in keeping a common area free of trash.
It’s so true what you said about the sense of entitlement, too; the rampant foreign swarms overrunning the D.C. area are encouraged to act and speak as if they’re here for the sole purpose of conquest. Did you see that story from the L.A. area, where the Qatar guys with their mansion and exotic sports cars were racing at 100 mph through residential streets, then aggressively threatened a reporter who questioned them, saying “F America” and saying they had diplomatic immunity?
