It is certainly true that none of us know whether or not Trump will live up to his promises. None of us. So we can only go with our instincts.

My instincts tell me Trump is a deal-maker. Once he’s sealed the deal with us, who will he start sealing deals with in Washington? I don’t know, you don’t know, none of us do!

But even if he did everything he’s promised, I’m not on board with all his promises. I want to hear some promises on things -I- can get behind a little more.

Has Trump said what cabinet departments or agencies he’d like to downsize or eliminate? I’d be interested in knowing more about that.

I don’t think his tax cut proposals are aggressive enough at taking down the tax rates, but then, he WOULD be far better than Hillary or Sanders.

His trade proposals worry me a lot.

So he’s still a mixed bag for me. I -get- that you can’t have everything in a candidate, but I want to hear a little more about government downsizing from him, and less about government solutions. Then I’d be more comfortable voting for him.

Actually, here’s another question for the Trumpsters out there... do any of you know if he’s made any statement on corporate taxes?

His website talks a lot about personal income taxes, death taxes, etc ... but searching his site and a brief internet search doesn’t give any real information on his plans for the corporate tax rate.

Has Mr. Trump made any statements on it? I am genuinely curious.

“Has Trump said what cabinet departments or agencies he’d like to downsize or eliminate?”

I don’t think that’s a great winning strategy right now. Ted wants to eliminate 5 Departments and 25 agencies. That all sounds great in a primary until you try to win the state of VA in a general election. My guess is if Ted won the primary he would reverse himself pretty quickly.

“I don’t think his tax cut proposals are aggressive enough”

I don’t think it could be any more aggressive..https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions/tax-reform

Truth is Trump and Cruz line up on 80% or more of their positions

Just give it up!

You're talking out of your arse!

His tax plans are great, so are his business ideas. For someone who is all in for Cruz, for NO good reason, since his plans were either purloined and then messed with or handed to him and NONE of them workable, You are just lying and whinging.

If you’re expecting an answer, forget it.

As I said, a dozen undecideds over a sore loser Cruz cultist, and don’t you dare try to pretend to be anything else.

I’m not going to waste any more of my time. Bye.

Come on. How many times ya need to be told by Trump? He has repeatedly stated the colossal waste and epic fraud created by the corrupt lawyer politicians at all levels in government has all but choked Middle America off.
