Trump Tax Plan Stumps GOP Establishment Again

Every time they think they have knocked him down, Donald Trump comes up with a counterpunch that keeps the GOP establishment and traditional conservative pundits stunned and confused. Now they are being forced to attack the very bedrock of the Reagan economic legacy they so love.

After two debates Trump remains the dark-horse leader for the GOP presidential nomination.

But that lead is only with people who live in the real world. To the media elite and the DC bubble of politicians and pundits, he remains "a circus clown." Hence a slew of articles proclaiming Trump's decline in the polls, his high unfavorable ratings, his inability to attract the support of women and independents -- you name it.

But one thing is clear: Trump continues to lead nationally over his fellow Republican contestants. More importantly, he has sizeable leads in the early caucus and primary states. In the latest Iowa poll, Trump leads Dr. Ben Carson by 7 points. In New Hampshire Carson barely registers, with Trump leading second-place Carly Fiorina by 10 percentage points.

KEYWORDS: elections
Unlike Mitt Romney, who put forth a 746 point plan, and told us all to go read it, Donald Trump actually EXPLAINS his plan, while on the campaign trail, TO the people before him (and all those watching live on TV).

From what I can see, Trump’s tax plan will add about 10 grand to our annual household income. I’m waiting for confirmation of that but that’s what it looks like at this point. If that’s even close to the savings that I and most Americans will realize, and people start to figure that out, there will be no stopping Donald Trump. It’s gonna be real hard to vote against an extra 10 grand.... every year.

Trump is for American growth.

Growth.

That is a very powerful concept.

The media and Beltway elite do not want it to be so, but in real America, everybody is talking about Donald Trump and the other candidates get scarcely a mention.

Trump is definitely the undisputed front runner and I do not see anybody even close at this time. Things may yet change but if elections were held today it outdoor be a Trump landslide.

And that is 10k for investments, to pump back into the US economy and maybe a couple of nice meals out “just because obama doesn’t want you to”. It would be a new economic renaissance...

“Real growth- not magic market bubble growth.”

True.

Which is why the Trump plan is a great and necessary start to sparking enormous economic expansion and growth. In addition they should do something meaningful about onerous regulations and the hostile legal climate.

All those put together and the sky’s the limit as far as the economy.

Very exciting to have a spectacularly successful businessman who surrounds himself with the likes of Steve Forbes and Carl Ichan as Chief Executive.

I am having flashbacks to all of the talking heads who daily criticized Reagan by saying “he offers simplistic solutions to complex problems.” How did THAT work out for you guys?
