With a serious purpose, demeanor, and policy.
He has a strong economic-growth plan. He just told CNBC, "We are lowering taxes very substantially and we're going to be getting rid of a tremendous amount of regulations."
On trade, he needs a coherent message that rules out protectionism. In his recent foreign-policy speech he talked up negotiations. The master of the art of the deal would be very good at that when it comes to trade. There's no need for huge tariffs. The goal here is to tear down foreign trade barriers and make China and others play by the rules.
And rather than trade wars and currency manipulation (which includes the U.S.), the world economic system should be anchored by stable and cooperative exchange-rate policies.
On immigration, Trump needs an articulate policy that aims to secure the border and keep out illegals while letting in skilled legal workers. Voters prefer a path to legality (not necessarily citizenship) rather than deportation. And Trump - a cost-conscious business executive - must translate that into curbing the cronyist federal-government leviathan.
There are other issues. But my key thought is that Trump can win by showing a consistent seriousness of purpose and demeanor while advancing pro-growth economic policies and a more realistic national-security strategy. He knows, as Reagan did, that success at home leads to success abroad.
Mrs. Clinton is a weak candidate. Now Donald Trump must show that he can get the job done. He has the potential for great leadership. The whole world is watching. I believe he can do it.

>> When did that become a prerequisite?
You’re right — Trump is being held to a much higher standard.

“With a serious purpose, demeanor, and policy.”
Trump has more specifics on his policies than PIAPS does, more than Cruz did and far more any major candidate I can remember. He has written positions on health care, 2nd amendment, taxes and immigration posted for anyone to read.
Trump clearly states his purpose.
Trump is mad as Hell about the direction of the country and his demeanor reflects that.
I have some issues with Trump but none of these three things are problematic
When did Obama have to prove he could do the job!
Then he became a Government Employee / Leech.
I wonder, can he do the Job?
He was thrown out of a commune for not working....maybe that's a clue.
Obama is the KING of SNIDE!
Just like, Barry O. Right, Larry?
Anyone know of other names, that they can think of, that were placed under the same scrutiny?
Is there any other candidate except Trump who's talking about problems and solutions?
These media nitwits are becoming more irrational every day.
Kudlow is a Trump supporter. I follow him on Twitter, and he is one of those who understands the economic problem we’re facing.

Too bad we didn’t see a fraction of this much interest and concern about ability and substance back in 2008 when Barack Obama was running for president on his catoonish platform of Hope and Change.
You losers do not get to demand anything from anybody.

He means skilled IT workers who will work for substantially lower wages.
Larry is an errand boy, sent by grocery clerk Zuckerberg.
The only job we want him to do is incarcerate the thieves that have been robbing US blind for the past 50 years.
That!
I've often thought that we need more businessmen to run for president, not politician lawyers! The president is an executive, not a lawmaker--and you need to hire executives for executive jobs!
Crappola.
This Godless piece of shit magic negro hadn’t run a kool-ade stand prior to his assection to the office. And he still hasn’t learned squat, reAlly is a weenie dumb ass.
Trump has created many many businesses, hired thousands and runs an operation larger than many state gub mints.
So in other words Kudlow wants nothing to change. F Kudlow..
Translation: maintain and expand the H1B program for the tech sector, and maintain the Cheap Labor Express.
Tariffs are the key to destroying the globalist cabal’s hold over American industry. They will always telegraph what they fear most and it is that.
