You are the Carly Fiorina of FR. Annoying, irritating and misguided. I feel sorry for your husband.

LOL.
I love these personal comments on an anonymous internet forum. They reflect much about the poster and pretty much nothing about the person to whom they are posted.
His tax plan while not the most desirable, may be a good starting point. I disagree that some Americans should be tax exempt. Instead there needs to be 100% tax write-offs for things like child care. health costs incurred during a tax year, to include premium payments, drug costs, and even co-payments without a threshold being attained first. Then percentages TBD for transportation costs. Vehicle depreciation write-offs for vehicle owners. Also elimination and or significant reduction in government payouts for such things as EIC all the way down to food stamps.
While I support everyone desiring health care insurance, being able to attain said insurance. I also think it is important that each pay a percentage of their income towards that insurance plan. How that is accomplished is really a mystery to me I admit, but I do desire it for everyone. As always though, the devil is in the details unfortunately.
So I won't fault Donald for uttering that statement, but I want to hear how he proposes to actually provide what he is proposing. My guess is I will have problems with his plan, if he even has a plan.
Bottom line, no candidate is perfect as one size does not fit all, but Cruz & then Trump are the only ones I am even considering. The rest are just a waste of time in my opinion, even though some I think are admirable people, while others I utterly despise.
Everybody here agreed that this was true back when Romney was getting savaged for his 47% remark.
But now that combover boy is proposing more of the same, it's a great idea, I guess.
I wish Trump supporters would take a longer look at what this guy is proposing and how he wanders away from positions he takes.

Wait. Are you suggesting that Trumps’s August comments on ISIS (boots on the ground, take the oil for the US) are not consistent with his September ‘let Russia deal with ISIS’?
EXACTLY right, General.
America's economy - public and private - has been living off its seed corn, building up debt to finance current consumption, for the best part of three decades.
We are in desperate need of leaders who demand of us a like period of austerity - of blood, toil, tears, and sweat - until the books are balanced.
I make this comment with zero expectation that any such leaders will arise.
Frankly only a few folks I know are satisfied with his or her Republican official at present. The ones who say they are live in northern AL. Most of the folks I know are damn tired of the promises the RNC made about all that would be done if we gave them the senate. I am extremely ticked off with the RNC and have not sent my membership dues of 60 bucks this year. They have done zip and the few who grandstand are no better. I firmly believe that Obama should have been impeached. I am tired of all politicians.
It's absolutely amazing how many Freepers are slavering with soak-the-rich class warfare all of a sudden!!
Trump seems to have coaxed them all out of the woodwork.
Anyone who advocated similarly leftist positions on homosexuality or abortion would have ridden the lightning long since.
“What are we to do?”
We can start by electing conservatives to local councils, county boards and schoolboards. Doing so secures a conservative base in your neighborhoods to operate from. If local politicians start acting like liberals, they can be recalled.
Electing a pro-2nd amendment, constitutional sheriff gives you investigative power and the legal and armed muscle to take on the leftists.
Realize, too, that only about 10% of the electorate turn out for local spring elections. That makes it easy to throw out all elected officials in your community in a single election.
If conservatives can’t see the wisdom of getting involved in local politics to secure their neighborhoods, then they are beyond hope and deserve all the misery they will suffer.
“After Trump’s bluster about sending them all back (that he now says he will bring right back in) “
No, he didn’t. Trump actually has stated, repeatedly good people can return if they do it LEGALLY.
Your posts remind me more & more of UniParty talking points.
Amen bros, preach it! And pass the plate.
Crumbling sorta like the much-heralded Trump boycott of Fox News?
All hat and no cattle?
>> saying “I’m going to take care of everybody.” Who is he? Mao? Castro? <<
No, I’d say he’s maybe a re-incarnation of the late Huey P. Long, but without the Southern drawl — and with a better looking wife.
touche
>> It’s quite a situational set of ethics <<
Yeah, sorta reminds me of how some posters on another thread yesterday were singing praises to their Dear Leader’s embrace of Putin’s Syrian intervention.
I see you have gone from pimping a natural born loser to trashing a natural born winner. Why so bitter? :-)
>> Trump is the most likely one to actually accomplish what he is promising <<
Yeah, sure. Just like his boycott of Fox News. Lasted about ten days, then poof!
Which must include the opportunity cost of a parent staying at home to care for their own children. Creating financial incentives for parents to turn their children over to strangers would be a recipe for societal disaster.
This is another example of why only 7% of Americans really trust the mediots/media, and the people who post this bs.

All-Time Low: Only 7% Say They Have Great Deal of Trust in American Media

A Gallup poll released yesterday shows that an all-time low of 7 percent of Americans say that they have a great deal of trust and confidence in the media.
At the other end of the spectrum, a record high of 24 percent said their trust and confidence in the media is “none.”
The combined 60 percent who say they have either no trust in the media (24 percent) or not very much trust (36 percent) also matched an all-time high. […]
Democrats were far more likely than Republicans or Independents to have trust and confidence in the media, according to Gallup.
In the new poll, 55 percent of Democrats said they had a great deal or fair amount of trust and confidence in the media. By contrast, only 33 percent of Independents and only 32 percent of Republicans said they had a great deal or fair amount of confidence in the media. …
good point
I know Walker was your #1.
Who will Walker throw is support and will you follow in kind?
Who is your #2 guy/gal?
