Be a better manager.
EPA/Education: "No, I'm not cutting services, but I'm cutting spending. But I may cut Department of Education (Common Core)"...
(Common Core, by the way, isn't a federal mandate: and he will leave in place EPA services - as in dictates?)
See how he massages his position?
Jan 19, 2015: Trump calls for higher ethanol mandate
Donald Trump said Tuesday that federal regulators should increase the amount of ethanol blended into the nation's gasoline supply.
Speaking at an event hosted by the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association, Trump, a real estate mogul and the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, said the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ought to follow the ethanol volumes Congress set in 2007.
"The EPA should ensure that biofuel... blend levels match the statutory level set by Congress under the [renewable fuel standard]," Trump said........"
October 2015 - Trump isn't going to GUT the EPA, he's going to make it more efficient ..."I'm not cutting services, but I'm cutting spending,", Trump told Wallace...Trump Vows To Cut 'Disgraceful' EPA

~~~FREE SPEECH~~~
TRUMP:
“This has nothing to do with free speech - this is taunting, and all it does is cause trouble.”
“[Pam Geller] should be much more responsible because what she’s doing is completely irresponsible!”
“She’s a person that is doing this for her own purpose and she’s doing a terrible thing for our country!”
“...if she went after, instead, JESUS, instead of the Muslim, went after JESUS, let’s see how long she’d last! If she went after the African-Americans, and went after the N-WORD, where she was positive on it as opposed to... let’s SEE how long she would last! That would also be freedom of speech! Let’s see if she has the guts to do that....”
“All she’s doing, she is a provacateur! All she doing is provoking and taunting people!!”
VERSUS:
TED CRUZ
“We saw the ugly face of radical Islam in Garland, Texas, recently,” Cruz said of last Sunday’s shooting at a “Draw Muhammad” event there.
“Thankfully, one police officer helped those terrorists meet their virgins,”..
“We can’t win a war against radical Islamic terrorism with a president who won’t utter the words ‘radical Islamic terrorism,’”
“This nation is in crisis,” Cruz said. “If we don’t pull our country back from the brink, we risk losing the greatest country in the history of the world.”
Cruz vowed that if he were elected, he would unabashedly protect freedom of speech and other liberties.
“We must defend our constitutional rights - all of them,” he said....
I forget. What was the purpose of his campaign again?
Streamline government, make it more efficient, cut waste. Totalitarianism doesn’t just happen!
“Trump Promises ‘Great Management’ - We Need Limited Government “
The two things naturally go together. Most business people know that. Speaking of management, what management experience does Ted Cruz have?
This could have been phrased differently.
Conservatives want a candidate who realizes that the government is too big and too powerful and too intrusive, and just as importantly, who realizes that the office of the president has assumed far too many unconstitutional powers.
In other words, we are sick to death of egotistical fools who think “I am so good, that I can *control* the power!”
Which sounds like the line from a fantasy movie of some sub-hero who tries to grab “the object of ultimate power”, thinking he can control it, only to end up as a pile of smoking ashes.
And ambition flows like water in Washington, D.C. So there are dozens of men, all of whom think that they are so good that they can *control* the power. And they will fight anyone who wants to *reduce* the power of the office of the president.
Obama, with his “phone and pen” has stimulated this assortment of ambitious fools into an imbecilic froth. They all see themselves as being within a short leap to dictatorial powers. And they are adamant that they want all of that power, and more, ever more.
But the only way to win the game is to *reduce* the power of the office. And not just the power of the POTUS, but the power of the bureaucracy, and congress, and the courts.
Put “the genie” back into the bottle, and not only will a president be beloved and remembered as someone who saved our nation, but someone who led our nation out of the wilderness of economic chaos, social despair, and oppressive government.
Levin should go back to Israel, and stop interfering in politics here in the US.
Only 8 posting days until Iowa Caucus!
What has the current GOP in the House and Senate done to advance
conservative issues?
Unlike Trump, they can affect change. They chose not to.

DONALD TRUMP, AT THE SHOT SHOW, IS SUPPORTING GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF LANDS AGAINST THE STATES!!
its a good thing the GOP is backing this conservative!!!

.
Here is a show that explains how the Bureau of Land Management is abusing their powers over land, something TRUMP has now said he agrees with!
.
Jacki speaks with British author Rupert Darwall, international finance specialist and former Advisor to the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, on the Global Warming movement, its goals and methods. She also is joined by Rob Henneke of the Texas Public Policy Foundation to discuss the suit versus the federal government over their seizure of private property along the Red River.
Sen. Cruz doesn't talk much about the business side of his tax plan, because its really a 16% sales tax on everything you buy - multiplied by each step along the way. So you pay 16% more for everything you buy for starters. And so does the farmer who is growing what you are buying, or the mechanic who is fixing your car. That's because Sen. Cruz's VAT tax applies to every transaction, not just sales at retail.
Sorry to say, but Sen. Cruz wants to bring us the same crippling taxes that are present in Europe.
I agree that we need limited government but how will you achieve that losing every election? Your crowd wants to be dead martyrs rather than live winners.
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.
Trump nails the problem with politicians - no true management ability. It’s one thing orate but another thing to lead. Those politicians with military background were far better equipped but of late their kind is waning. Give me a visionary executive who has substantial evidence he can perform and deliver. Not a mewling politician who’s record consists of hot air.
“Conservatives incline to take the weakness of our elite institutions as an argument for recovering constitutional principles - and so for limiting the power of those institutions, reversing their centralization of authority, and recovering a vision of American life in which the chief purpose of the federal government is protective and not managerial.
Trump, on the contrary, offers himself as the alternative to our weak and foolish leaders, the guarantee of American superiority, and the cure for all that ails our society; and when pressed about how he will succeed in these ways, his answer pretty much amounts to: “great management.””
If this is the standard the NR wishes to use, then we haven’t had an effective conservative movement for decades.
“Conservative” is a term that no longer means what the author seems to think it means, when it comes to sorting out politicians.
When was the last time we had a budget actually go down, from year to year? When has the body of law ever been reduced, in favor of the personal liberty of the citizenry.
This article is more of an indictment of the entire GOP rather than a expose’ of Trump.
Trump is not a conservative. I accept that. What the rest of the GOP and the GOP field hasn’t grasped is that neither are they - if the definition is as the author posits.
What the author also fails to realize is that “management” in the private sector doesn’t mean “status quo”. The author, whom I have never heard of, obviously has spent his entire life in government or a pilot fish attached directly to those in government.
If Trump is elected, every American will come to realize that it is the GOP and the Democrats that are the enemy to this country. Not Trump.
Lindsay Graham, for instance, put himself up as a shining example of “experience” and “policy” In reality, he is one of the many that has essentially destroyed this country. He (nor any of his ilk) will not be useful in any way as a contributor to fixing what is truly wrong with this country.
He,and people like him are the enemy. They should be shown no mercy, politically speaking. We should keep Guantanamo open as a place to put our corrupt politicians as traitors if we ever get the opportunity to clean up the corrupt crony government.
Another thing. This author seems to claim that “Great Management” is unattainable. He makes the case for the astounding “Lack of Management” that is the hallmark of Congress, the Executive Branch, and the Judiciary today.
This must be you first election Cincinatus Wife? Do you really believe an Establishment Pig Politician that says he or she is going to “cut” something?
If you believe that, then I have beach front property in Kansas to sell you. Please do not tell me you are THAT gullible.
Limited government is what we need. Period. Better executive orders and better deals won’t cut it.
