How Donald trump may just win the presidential election
beaufortobserver.net ^ | Sept 23, 2015

Posted on 09/24/2015 4:21:09 AM PDT by 11th_VA

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.

[On jobs, its simple.]

Unions are one of the main reasons the companies fled the country to get them back THAT will be have to be confronted first and that will not be that simple.

2. and 3. are contradictory:
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.

I believe Trump will build the wall and if you look at his plan I don’t believe that is all it says.
I am for Cruz but I want that wall.
As far as the I-9 the only thing that has done has made legal Americans fill out the paperwork. Illegals don’t have to and don’t.
When they start building the way people will probably start leaving.

Agreed. A wall is not all of Trump’s plan on immigration and in and of itself a wall is not a sufficient plan on immigration.

Good read..I would add about govt regulations, the first thing a President Trump should do is abolish the EPA. It was created by a President’s pen stroke (Nixon), it can end by one. Also, I believe it was Fiorna who suggested that all government agencies would have to submit a cost analysis of their departments to assess if they should be remained open. Most likely, that would be a bureaucrats worse nightmare. So I’m for it!!

Other than the wall and some vague talk about bringing back jobs and “replacing” Obamacare (with what? he’s used the term “Trumpcare” at least a few times), Trump has said nothing to give the impression that he would support any of these points. What makes anyone think that he would?

This is a classic example of Trump support - take his broad message (”Make America Great Again”), and fill in the blanks, assuming that Trump’s idea of “Great” (and of what it would take to get there) is the same as his supporters.

Pure commie socialism.

stay on target and forget the primary opponents. The trouble is Trump goes off in several directions at once. He is excellent at controlling the deal.

After reading two of his books, I still have more to read, he is holding things very close to his vest...good business practice...

When he is ready, he will pounce with things that we are wanting answers to, but now is not the time, why give the other candidates his ideas to run on?

The only other two candidates he will embrace is Cruz and maybe Carson...I think the three of them have been talking privately for some time...and I think you'll see a threesome before long...

The rest of the candidates aren't doing anything, and I don't think Jebby will ever be a problem...remember the American people don't want any more bushes, clintons or obumas....

As far as Trump attacking, why not? If someone attacks you, do you go running in your hole? I don't, I face it and say what I feel, he's doing what everyday normal people do when faced with lies and slander...and Fox had better be really careful, Trump has already filed suit against Club for Growth...he can do it to Fox to....

Needs to have General Petraeus as an advisor on the Middle East. Crush ISIS. Rebuild the fleet, the airforce and army. New standars to free Americas eging of progress. Jobs not welfare. Police Rights not criminal gangs rights.

He has the support of many of the governed, but not the elite. Which is why I truly think that he will not be the nominee, even if he wins the primaries.

That's the same position Reagan founf himself in...only the Rats had the House and Tip O'Neal held Reagan in contempt...even though he grew on him to the point where O'Neal was willing to concede that RR was an 'amiable dunce'.

Presumably Trump will still have GOP majorities in Congress...majorities that will be greatly chastened by Trump's election and the rejection of their way of doing things. Any politician who makes it back to DC and wants to stay there will learn very quickly that they better play ball with Trump.

re:
    demands for concrete plans for everything.
I’m reading a new book, The Real Watergate Scandal, and it opens up with a discussion of what Nixon was doing before he was taken down by - according to the author - a liberal conspiracy to violate law and morals.

And one thing stands out in my memory about the 1968 campaign: Nixon said he had a plan to handle Vietnam. Journalism was all over Nixon about his “secret plan,” ridiculing the idea that he had any such thing that the people should trust. Well, guess what! Nixon did have a plan, and it could not be executed if he had made public.

It sounds quaint now, but back then Nixon was not respected as adept at foreign policy. But honestly, could he have announced in 1968 that he would be going to China in 1972? The idea is absurd. The negotiations leading up to that visit had not been done yet - and could not be done successfully, if publicly announced beforehand.

re:
    Abuse of the IRS
Nixon was audited by the IRS every year Kennedy or Johnson was in office.

Sure puts a different light on the claims that Nixon was siccing the IRS on someone else. And on the fatuous conceit that we can’t afford to get rid of the IRS.
