If he understood borders then why has his plan to have the Mexican gov’t pay for the wall been dumbed down to confiscating transfer payments?

I can only give my opinion, since I don't live in his head. They will pay for it by transferring money, or giving up aid, or be hurt when their economy doesn't receive all the transfer payments.

I don't care which it is. It will come out of their hide under any of those options.

Frankly, if we would get the wall built with our own money, I'd be happy with that.

Why say something as stupid as paying down the debt in eight years when the whole economy doesn't generate enough revenue to do that not to mention he wants to increase military spending, not even touch SS or medicare and expand Medicare Part D?

You aren't paying attention to the plan he released.

What if the S. Koreans decide they can't pony up the Won to protect the DMZ? What is Trump going to do next? Threaten to pull all the troops out? Guess who would pile into that zone the second he said something like that?

You may not understand negotiation.

Trump gave money to the same people that are responsible for hollowing us out as you say.......and to some that we all here detest.

I understand why. He gave to both sides. Both failed us over the past 100 years.

Your boy knows his wallet....and good for him, making money rules.

Great skill to use in DC.

But when you can get confused on a simple gotcha question on abortion then it's clear you're a second stringer.

I like that he isn't doctrinaire about issues. He is certainly no "checkbox conservative". Reagan was not either. Good luck going forward

You too! We happen to be traveling in the same ship.

Please dispense with the Reagan comparisons. Reagan was a champion for the Conservative cause.....Trump has done absolutely zero for that cause.

Hurt the Mexican economy huh? Then if you target that you target Ford and Carrier as examples. It's not a zero sum game, you can't look to kill a trading partner that actually has US companies inside it's borders and think they will be fine, it'll just be the locals that suffer. Think two steps ahead.

Why do I need to look at any plan? I just told you the gov’t does not generate enough post-obligation revenue to dispense will all the US debt. You know and I know any GDP growth assumption made is always wrong, Trump's is as well.

Negotiations? With the North Koreans? What planet are you on dude? They have the upper hand - they have nukes, a larger army than the South Koreans and the backing of both Russia and China. Come one man.

I love it when Trump supporters come up with a rationalization as to why he would give to Schumer, Pelosi and the DNC. Like all Conservatives do that every year. If you forgive him for that, then you forgive Soros and Buffett.

So buying off politicians is a great skill. Yet we all here rail against people being paid off at the expense of the populace. Your boy has been doing it for decades and now that's a presidential skill.

“I like that he isn't doctrinaire about issues. He is certainly no “checkbox conservative.” - Good for you, it's refreshing to hear a Trump supporter say he's not Conservative and ergo, you are not Conservative. I applaud you here.

I'll vote for Trump if he gets the nod for sure - but until I'm forced to I'll back the Conservative.

Peace friend.
