TRUMP
Emphasizing that he “cherish[es] our seniors,” The Donald said in an interview that Republicans are on a risky “ledge” by backing a plan that could be perceived as hurting older Americans. “I’d have to study the plan,” Trump said in an interview on CNN. “I will tell you, I think it's very dangerous for the Republicans to go on this ledge, because I, for one, would have to be very, very careful.”
“I have a lot of respect for Paul Ryan, but what is happening is the Republicans are going way, way, way far out on the ledge,” he said. .

Trump stakes out ground on the I am not a serious man side of the equation.
How so? According to Rep Bachmann, those over 55 will see NO difference under Ryan’s plan.
Let's see where he stands on ALL OF THE ISSUES before we start coronating him.
Read my first comment. I’m not behind anyone. I’m not here to play games either. You can keep your belittling dismissive comments to yourself. Stop acting like a troll. I told you what I saw in the interview and that you are misrepresenting what was said... apparently intentionally. I can’t stand you fan boys that get on here working “behind the scenes” for your candidate. Get a life.
FR has become a joke since most of you N00bs have come in trying to shut down honest discussion.
He didn’t seem to be saying it “hurt seniors” - he said it was “on the ledge”. It’s hard to say what he meant here, but, the wording sounds more like Trump is worried about the political risk here, and he’s right.
You have to tread very lightly. I’m all for a phase-in to privatization of SS and Medicare. I’d love it if Trump were too, at this point I don’t know, but, he’s right assuming he means it from a political/PR standpoint.
Hell, Trump is way to the left of McCain. Up until his recent 'conversion'(sic) of the past few weeks, he was as liberal as the Clintoons and firmly connected to Soros by the wallet.
I believe Trump has filed for bankruptcy three times. He is not exactly presidential material.
Rush Limbaugh filed for bankruptcy twice, has been married 4 times...but I would vote for him. Now, Trump is not my choice but I do enjoy the work he is doing bashing Obama.
Stop projecting your failures on to me, you colossal waste of DNA.

That would make a good bumper sticker.
“Honest discussion” my arse... you’re simply spamming FR with your “truth files”... get bent fanboy. Who’s your guy... or gal?
Sounds like The Donald is buying in the Dem talking points.
Somebody needs to tell him that Seniors are grandfathered.
lol... okay, I will. ;-)
