The thing I always listen for from candidates is whether they want the job or the title.

Trump clearly wants the job.

This is the Donald Trump I support.

He shines in these venues and has always been superior in the interview settings, particularly the ones in Trump Tower, when he is with reporters whom he actually respects or with whom he feels comfortable.

He doesn’t have to spar. He completes thoughts and yes, DoughtyOne, he presents more inner workings.

The TAKE AWAY is that he is not going to post that 4 to 20 page policy paper, for which the craven, ravenous media and his opponents are increasingly criticizing him. When events and variables change, and if you’re really a political athlete, then flexibility, quickness, and agility in the contest is an ability to die for.

Trump has that, in spades. It is the difference between winning and losing in every contest, whether sports, real estate, or war and politics.

The media and his opponents would like to turn Trump’s ability to hold his cards into a negative. He will likely give them nothing.

Yep.

Knowing Trump as we do, I would imagine that he will reward those in the media who have been fair to him (not good, just fair) with the release of his tax position.

And I am guessing his tax position will fit on one page.

I think you’re right!

But as you know, it is truly too soon for any candidate to be blabbing their strategic plans for policy. Seems they are only demanding this of Trump, as none of the other candidates have delivered a syllable more than Trump has.

The others just SAY they have rolled out their policy, so they can whine that Trump has not. LOL!

BTW, why did I (20 years ago) actually like Kasich? He is so GOP now, and I didn’t see that about him back then.

I agree with your comments.

The one spot I could differ is that I think he will release a vision for his policies.

At the same time he will make it known that as events take place, he may have to alter them. That’s not deflection. It’s just reality.

He’s a pretty straight up guy.

Hey Rita, Trump pretty told us in that interview that his tax plan was going to the simplification of the tax code (i.e. a major reduction of the IRS) and a flat, fair or similar tax system.

He is killing it.

America is about to rise again.

Go Trump.

Yes, yes and yes! Simplification of the tax code is beautifully simple. On any issue, a vision is good. Details are a bramble bush. (No pun intended, Jeb! )

In the Wall St. interview, (paraphrasing) he was asked about the limitations of the presidency for getting things done, as opposed to Trump heading his very own businesses. Isn’t that the truth. It would be nice to know what he thinks about that fact.

I look forward to what he might do in South Carolina, to attract even more black votes. Hillary leads Sanders in South Carolina presently, but the race for South Carolina has not really started for the candidates. Their people are there and organizing, but Hillary and Trump haven’t worked South Carolina just yet. It’s coming.

Cruz is afforded no more errors on immigration, nor TPP. NONE. It’s already enough for many freepers that his wife is too well placed in Wall Street workings. Anything more shakes the tree. We are skiddish as colts out here.

Corker is a buffoon and must go. How utterly stupid can he think we are? He is a traitor to every cause he touches.

I am not an native English speaker and I knew the word. Damned American education system. Heck I knew the word inflection in 5th grade, but I was a voracious reader and my mother did me make me copy pages from the dictionary as punishment. I suggest Freepers copy my mothers punishment system. It really sucks for the kid but does them a world of good.

I swear I have in excess of 65000 words in my common vocabulary, and have a grasp of 2 to 3 times that. I was rather naughty ;-)

I know what inflection is of course. I use it in explaining pronunciation of words. It’s in the vernacular of an English teacher

I wanted to follow what she was talking about with him. So do others. I had to ask what the heck does she mean with that word. He did not answer her the first time so she went back to it. I thought what is she trying to do. Maybe he doesn’t know what she means. They’re obviously talking in business jargon. Why does she use this metaphor no one who doesn’t work with graphs all the time knows.

You know what I’m saying

You’re wanting people to get punished and copy pages out of the dictionary ?

I have no complaints about my own education

I missed it in the video. I will take your word for it.

Doesn’t seem like terrible punishment does it? Believe me it is for any child. It also helps them later in life by boosting their common vocabulary and the wider understanding of what words they have copied mean. I swear it boosts IQ as it is measured.

Previous generations have. They did not need to deal with the idiotic teachers union or their minions. It is going to be a tough task to get the young edumicated again and unindoctrinated.
