I liken stuff like this to someone stepping in quicksand. The more you struggle, protest and wiggle about with your underwear in a bunch, the faster you sink.
Likeable or not, the man is the focus of an irate anger with establishment Republicanism in addition to the general distrust our government has earned. Attacking, or stealthily nitpicking the specificity of what he produces (when, I might add, the only specificity we get out of Bush, Rubio or that ilk is in Spanish and about amnesty and citizenship).
In healthcare - his proposal is too expensive, how are we gonna pay for it? Who’s gonna pay for it? I remember here years ago many here were saying we’d be better off just giving these so-called poor people health insurance and leaving everything else alone - much less cost that having all these exchange middlemen thieves in the mix, too.
On the tax pro0posals, it might be just too early to say. Many hate it because it is from Trump - Levin apparently loves it.
The one big thing that tends to make me shut down when reading critical articles of him is the urgent advice like “move on and vet the rest of these people. Trump is taking up too much oxygen.” My response to Mr. McKay is “what’s stopping you, fool?” Somebody tied your hands or give you a pencil that only writes ‘Trump?’
This article, so painfully obvious and transparent in its intent and disingenuous in its mission statement, is why all the TDS inmates’ bleats fall on deaf ears.
I concur.
The fact that they are throwing everything (including used aircraft carriers) at Trump is at least pause for concern.
For the Trump Haters, here’s the bottom line:
Without Trump in the race, Team Bush will spending spend millions beating up on every non-democrat until they are out of the race, or split enough votes where Bush wins with 20% from mostly crossover voters.
Is the Trump tax plan the best? I’d say no, as I don’t see a problem with the IRS that a wrecking ball couldn’t solve. (Translation: I’m for repealing the 16th Amendment). But at least he’s proposing the biggest tax cut, and the biggie: repatriating corporate dollars back penalty-free.
Oh the heck with it. I’m gonna grab a cup of coffee and watch Ted Cruz give that killer speech on the Senate floor.
i’m voting for the guy if Cruz as not competitive when it’s time to vote.
but i dont like anybody paying no taxes. The math shows that a 5 percent tax on these people would bring in another 100 billion dollars.
Plus they get goodies too.. SNAP, maybe rent help. They’re not contributing at all.
I am not thrilled with a progressive tax package.
But that 0 dollars in taxes for those making little will bring in a lot of votes.
I am not against him at all. just disagree on a few things.
Trump is the “mad as hell and were not going to take it anymore” candidate, period. His proposals are mostly the same old same old, and not much different from Obama, except maybe on immigration.
