Please wake up, conservatives!

[screaminsunshine]

I am. He is right.

[devistate one four]

Behold the turtle

whom goes nowhere

without streching

his neck.

[Reagan Man]

Paul Ryan’s proposal is good conservatism at work.

Trump is for big government. He even supported universal health care.

Work to get conservatives elected, NOT liberals.

NOT Donald Trump... NOT now ... NOT ever!

[hosepipe]

Trump is a tool.. Ryans 6 trillion over 10 years is not enough.. NOT too much..

[hosepipe]

Trump is a progressive shill exactly the way John McLaim was/is..

[dalereed]

I’m 73 and Trump can go straight to hell!!

[familyop]

He will get most senior voters that way and become the next president. The tax-oil-for-teachers candidates are in his rear view mirror (unlike the education presidents’ claims about visions of Heysoos).

[kenavi]

Trump is pretty good at not paying his debts.

[free me]

Here's what Palin said (rather than just the tweet offered by pmsnbc)

"As for Representative Ryan’s proposal, his roadmap, it’s good. It’s a great start. Unfortunately, it doesn’t really dig into the debt and get our arms around it or stop the deficit spending practice that we’ve become unfortunately accustomed to for still a long time down the road. But it’s a great start. He showed a lot of courage and you know, he’s spending some political capital in proposing it. I support it. I’m glad that he’s going to do it. I just wish we could be more aggressive and do this quicker because if not, we’re going to be beholden to other countries who will own us. They will own our debt. We will be less free. We will be less secure. At least Representative Ryan’s proposal gets us on the right track towards the solvency."

Trump thinks it's too far over the ledge, Palin knows it isn't far enough.

[streetpreacher]

You guys are wrong and are being misled by the media. I saw the full interview with Trump. He said he thought the Republicans were being forced in a trap... that basically, they shouldn’t be the ones leading on this budget plan so Democrats can use it against them. He thinks it will hurt them in 2012 and they should force Obama to lead on the budget. He’s not saying he wouldn’t support entitlement reform, but with a full deck of cards, not just 1/2 of the House.

[jwalsh07]

Trump stakes out ground on the I am not a serious man side of the equation.

[mnehring]

[RockinRight]

He didn’t seem to be saying it “hurt seniors” - he said it was “on the ledge”. It’s hard to say what he meant here, but, the wording sounds more like Trump is worried about the political risk here, and he’s right.

You have to tread very lightly. I’m all for a phase-in to privatization of SS and Medicare. I’d love it if Trump were too, at this point I don’t know, but, he’s right assuming he means it from a political/PR standpoint.

[Liberal Bob]

I believe Trump has filed for bankruptcy three times. He is not exactly presidential material.

[lonestar]

The Donald said in an interview that Republicans are on a risky “ledge” by backing a plan that could be perceived as hurting older Americans.

Sounds like The Donald is buying in the Dem talking points.

Somebody needs to tell him that Seniors are grandfathered.

[reasonisfaith]

I’d like to know why Trump supported government-run universal healthcare, up until he decided to ride the tea party wave. And why he supported politicians (Hillary and John Kerry) for president.

Trump is a fraud, I don’t care how many radio hosts ignore this. Like I said, I’m starting to doubt some people out there.

[reasonisfaith]

Trump needs to educate himself. I would suggest to him, read Milton Friedman, and then read Thomas Sowell.

Once you’ve finished Donald, come back and we’ll test your newly acquired knowledge of true conservative economics.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

And the current crop of Repubs are even more afraid of being seen as hurting senors.

[FreeReign]

The last time Trump was going to run back in '99, he wanted to tax the rich to payoff the debt.

Trump Proposes Massive Onetime Tax on the Rich

November 09, 1999

NEW YORK CNN -- Billionaire businessman Donald Trump has a plan to pay off the national debt, grant a middle class a tax cut, and keep Social Security afloat tax rich people like himself. Trump, a prospective candidate for the Reform Party presidential nomination, is proposing a onetime net worth tax on individuals and trusts worth 10 million or more. By Trump's calculations, his proposed 14.25 percent levy on such net worth would raise 5.7 trillion and wipe out the debt in one full swoop. No one has put forward a plan to make this country entirely debt free as we enter the next millennium, Trump said in a written statement. The plan I am proposing today does not involve smoke and mirrors, phony numbers, financial gimmicks, or the usual economic chicanery you usually find in DisneylandonthePotomac, Trump said. By my calculations, 1 percent of Americans, who control 90 percent of the wealth in this country, would be affected by my plan, Trump said.

Karl Marx would be proud.

[Mariner]

The Donald is a joke as a political leader, and as a POTUS candidate...ludicrous.

However, on the clarion call on the BC issue...from a man of his stature...he has done a service few Presidents have ever aspired to.

Let's love The Donald, for this service alone, even if we love him for no other reason.

Our great grandchildren, 200 years from now, will read of him as a HERO.
