Interesting list.
How do you feel then about his latest, when he tells interviewers he will not divulge plans on how he would address some issues?
I think there need to be answers so that voters know their product.
Could equally mean that the plans are still under consideration. It isn’t soup yet.
Which, granted, is not how a know-it-all would work.
I think the closer we get to the actual election, Trump will provide greater details. If he makes it through the primaries, and all the way to the August Convention in Cleveland, Donald will almost have to elaborate, add some meat to these bare boned ideas. Some details, but not all. Never all.
Donald is correct in that one doesn’t show your entire hand of cards right away, if ever. That which is unseen and unclear can work in your favor, either through fear of results or anticipation of goals attained.
One word, dearie, - Unpredictability.
If you ever negotiated a billion dollar deal you'd know what the heck he is talking about. But you haven't, so you don't.
"...would have thought that being a repeat donor to Clinton and other Democrats might have been that point for principled conservatives...
...None of these things, though, has been enough to dislodge any measurable amount of Trump’s support. And they are all things Trump has done during the short course of this campaign...
...Beginning with the 2012 cycle, however, financial disclosures show that Trump has donated exclusively to Republican candidates and groups.
Then it holds Mitch McConnell as the yardstick of conservative principles.
The media controls the LIVs and mainly what Trump is doing is controllng the media. He jumped to 35% mainly in groups that are not political analysts, just ordinary folks. I know some personally and they are not going to run litmus tests on every candidate and rank them in a spreadsheet.
Mainly they want someone who can win. Walker proved that in Wisc. but not nationwide and naturally the media distorted the Wisc wins (with a freeper or two helping the media out here).
My own view is that we need a strong leader without no hints of PC who will cut immigration, corp. taxes, and a few agencies. That latter I'm not sure anyone can do, including Trump. But Trump would definitely ignore the howls of protests at the cuts.
Without rolling back the federal govt, none of the litmus tests matter in the least.
