Looks like "The Donald" may be "pivoting toward the center" a bit early.

He didn’t say it.

That’s not what he meant.

Heidi Cruz is ugly.

You know, The Trump’s ego is no bigger than any of the other candidates. That’s why I find those sorts of insults from the fans of other candidates so amusing. Sure Trump is a jerk. None of the candidates are telling the truth about what they are going to do if they win. However, we know what they will do. Cheap labor express, millions more immigrants, deficit spending til infinity. Trump might not. He might. But he’s spent much of his life building things. The rest of the candidates, except a couple of dropouts, are lifetime parasites, rent seekers and moochers.

There was in early 2014 a projection of a $1 billion surplus heading into the 2015-’17 budget period. Late in 2014, there was a projection of a $2.2 billion shortfall — the difference between expected revenues and the amount of money being requested by state agencies. But the shortfall was never a deficit — and some of the surplus was consciously spent by Republicans, as tax cuts.

Trump simply stated that there are adult choices that have to be made. Politicians in general, pass budgets using rosy economic forecasts and then hem and haw about said choices. Both parties do it year in and year out and everyone on this board knows it.

It's amazing how many political neophytes have chosen to out themselves lately...

Wisconsin is an open primary, which is in my opinion why he spoke against Walker the way he spoke.

I supported Walker early on. Was sorry he dropped out.

You can find Trumps position on his site Trump Tax Policy That is Trumps federal policy on taxes. State taxes are a different matter. States have different needs based on their financial condition. Some states have balanced budgets and do not need any new taxes or can actually reduce taxes. Apparently Trump feels that Walker was unable to balance the Wisconsin budget without a tax increase. Walker took tax increases off the table and consequently did not balance the budget.

When I read the bit about needing to find a replacement for Obamacare, I knew this was a left wing hit piece, The byline on the article makes no difference. We had universal health care before Obamacare and Health Insurance was available if you wanted to buy it and could pay for it. There is no right to health care or health insurance.

Pretty much every statement made by The Rump qualifies as bizarre.
