Why are you giving a pass to the other 16 candidates?

Why are you spouting MSM talking points to disparage Trump?

***************
First, Trump is the front runner and when you’re in the lead the expectations are greater. And many of the other candidates are inconsequential and will soon drop out.

Second, I am not ‘disparaging’ Trump or spouting MSM talking points. I clearly said I like Trump. I want him to succeed and in my opinion the best way to do that is to move beyond the vague statements and into clearly crafted and workable specifics about his plans for moving the country forward.

I assume that in your professional career you must have had to prepare for some big moments when a lot was on the line. In situations like that you prepare to the max and give it everything you’ve got. I’ve gone before “murder boards” before to prepare for such events and to make sure that I was prepared for anything and to maximize the opportunity for success. Its no fun being critiqued but its the right way to prepare.

I’m expecting the same from Trump, and am reasonably sure he would do the same thing to his own people working under him on important mega projects. He would want to see details.

The stakes couldn’t be higher for the country. Its time for Trump to bring his A game, which I don’t think we’ve seen yet. He could walk away with this with the right package of solutions.

Well said and perhaps I was a bit harsh when I said you were using MSM talking points.

Did you see Donald Trump's announcement this morning about his new tax plan? I thought it was brilliantly done. A four page outline of the plan was put on his citizen-facing website and it's obvious he did his homework and has engaged a lot of experts.

I looked at some of the other candidate websites this morning (Carson, Cruz and Fiorina) and none of them came close to the clean, crisp layout of Trump's website, where he already has three detailed position papers available to read.

In fact, Cruz and Fiorina have no position papers at all on their sites. Carson has posted some positions but mostly in 2-3 paragraphs of the kind of boilerplate slogans that we are used to hearing from politicians.
