Donald Trump — Can America Get Behind His Presidential Bid?
The Inquisitr News ^ | February 28, 2016 | Chris Swanepoel

The United States of America, being the third most populated country on the globe, has a population as diverse and unique as the world itself. This diversity creates a potential political minefield, especially when aspiring to lead the nation. According to Pew Research, the following are some of the criteria, and their impact on the possibility of success of a presidential candidate.

From the above it can be seen that the factors most influencing the voters are military service, experience in office, and business acumen. Donald Trump scores one out of three, but his endorsement by New Jersey governor Chris Christie and Paul LePage, Maine's governor, may take him to an unsteady two out of three.

Regarding his economic policies, there are mixed feelings. He has based his economic reform on three issues, namely, tax cuts, immigration reform, and trade reform.

Trump's tax plan intends to reduce the current income tax roll by nearly 50 percent (over seventy three million households), and reduce the number of tax brackets from seven to only four. It also aims to counteract loopholes used by the very rich.

On the business front, Trump's plan will cut the corporate tax rate to 15 percent, making it one of the best in the world. This rate will apply to all businesses across the board, enabling freelancers, sole proprietors, unincorporated small businesses, and pass-through entities to take advantage, unlike the current system, in which they are taxed at the personal income rates....

Echo.

Cruz is an absolute non-factor ..the only reason he is still in, is that he is waiting for the best deal he can get from the GOPe to drop out and endorse the Robot ...

I tremble in fear at that thought because people are getting crazy enough to do it.

Another thing that scares me is what if TPTB intentionally make it happen so they can try and put us all under martial law?

I never would have entertained the thought a few years ago. I mean I knew things were messed up but had no idea they were that corrupt.

Very disturbing.

Where is all this assassination talk coming from? Have there been threats? Who is “they?”

There is no way to get me behind Trumps presidential bid. To me he is an obvious fraud and I will never go out and cast a vote him.

If Cruz wins Texas, that will buy him a few more bribe offers from his GOPe masters to get out of the race to clear the way for Rubio ...FACT

You really ARE completely clueless! LOL

Really, if you want to be taken seriously, and I'm not convinced that you do, you'll make some attempt at backing up your stupid statements.

If you really, truly, think you have a point....try to explain it.

We'll be patient, really. You can use your "smart" words.

If Trump is the nominee and is fortunate enough to give his acceptance speech as Republican Nominee in July, 2016 in Ohio, Trump will most definitely win Texas in the general election.

FACT

I don’t see how voting for the white version of Baraq Obama is going to do that. I don’t think we can take four more years of a narcissist in the White House.
