Shunning Hillary Is the Prescription for a Trump-Cruz White House

Here's a horrific "what if" in the months after November 9, 2016. That's the day after the presidential election and the winner is declared. The nomination and confirmation of one, two, maybe even three more Antonin Scalias and Clarence Thomas's to the Supreme Court. The quick repeal of the Affordable Care Act, the shut-down of the Department of Education, the total scrap of the Dodd-Frank financial industry regulations, the defunding of Planned Parenthood, and outlawing of abortion, the gut of the EPA, a cheer of the notion that Global Warming is a fraud, the giveaway of millions of acres of public lands to oil, gas, and real estate interests, the categorical rejection that fracking poses safety and environmental hazards, the scrap of the Voting Rights Act, a total blind eye by the Justice Department to police misconduct, and a wink and nod license to ramp up anti-Muslim hysteria in the country. A perpetual confrontation with Iran, Russia, and U.S. boots on the ground in Syria and anywhere else in the world that the White House occupant deems a threat to alleged U.S. interests.

This is not a made up nightmarish Orwellian scenario for a future America. It's not an agenda slapped together to scare wavering Democrats about Hillary Clinton let along guilt trip progressives into holding their nose and backing Clinton, if Bernie Sanders fails to get the nomination. This is the agenda that GOP presidential contenders Ted Cruz, Donald Trump, to varying degrees Marco Rubio, and couched in flowery jargon, the Republican National Committee has spelled out as the agenda for a GOP White House in 2016 and beyond. http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/05/politics/gop-agenda-for-the-new-congress/index.html

Your bias causes you to under estimate The Donald. Cherry picking parts of past statements wont work. Trump is all about creating value and efficiency. We need a heathcare solution. Donald will study all the various ideas previously suggested and implement the one that does the most good for the least amount, free of cronyism, graft, corruption. Why? Because the defining quality of Trump is his transparent authenticity free from financial strings and not indebted to his donors.

Can you point to an article, speech, or interview where he said this?

An article and an interview

You decide if it was definitive.

Sounds like the agenda that would “make America great again.” Christians should vote for that platform or stop calling themselves “Christian.”

Imagine that!

Honestly, when I saw the list of things that he was concerned about, I felt myself being slightly aroused. It’s the kind of things we’ve been dreaming about.

“A perpetual confrontation with Iran, Russia, and U.S. boots on the ground in Syria and anywhere else in the world that the White House occupant deems a threat to alleged U.S. interests. “

I totally agree and welcome the predictions of the first paragraph for the most part, but I disagree with this line. I don’t think a Trump/Cruz presidency would have us all over the globe fighting fires. I think Trump is too smart for that, and frankly if you look at the world powers they need to unite and spend less on fighting each through Proxies or directly, and once and for all get rid of nukes in the hands of despots.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

The authors agenda assumes the GOPe is grounded in the constitution. I wish it were so.

Sounds wonderful.

[spacejunkie2001]

I’ve heard Trump say he supports a single payer system.

[spacejunkie2001]

Totally agree. It worries me greatly when conservatives equivocate when it comes to Trump, in particular, and make excuses for his many and varied liberal stances.

[Frank_2001]

“ramp up anti-Muslim hysteria in the country.”

Hysteria???? Explain that to the survivors of San Bernardino or the German rape victims!
