Once again Trump is throwing out this “fantastical” notion of his. This is what happens when he goes for these “free” interviews completely unprepared. He allows the press to define him as a buffoon rather than spending his billions of dollars defining himself.

Trumpkins like to live in an echo chamber impervious to anything that shows their Dear Leader is a simply “not ready for primetime” interview.

If the polls show Trump losing, the polls are bad except if it shows Cruz’s lead diminishing.

If it’s an unflattering expose of Trump, then it must be summarily dismissed because its from either the National Review or the Weekly Standard or from some other mainstream news media. With of course, one exception. If it’s a piece showing Cruz in a negative light. The same goes for news item from the Tabloid Press.

So far a change, could someone please read the entire article (rather than have a typical knee jerk reaction) and tells us why this expose is inaccurate? Or is that simply too much to ask because after all we must all live in an echo chamber.

It can be done. Eliminate every alphabet agency not authorized by the US constitution.

Trump is an ignorant BUFFOON when he makes ridiculous claims such as this. He really doesn’t have a clue.

It’s only non-sensical if you believe it’s not possible. It IS possible and can be done.

And we couldn’t get to the moon in 10 years. If you think it can’t be done, you’re right.

You could have stopped the article with the first three words of the headline

Businessmen often set goals high. In my own management career, I've learned to set the bar high. So if I want my department to attain say a 30 per cent gross margin, I will set the goal at 40 or 45 percent.

It's like a baseball player who wants to hit 60 home runs in a year. He may then set a goal to hit 100 home runs because that will drive his actual performance higher and will be less likely to "rest on his laurels" and take it down a notch as he approaches the 60.

If we cut our national debt only 50% during eight years of Trump, I'll be happy.

Growth and expense cutting.
Reduce the government burden on Business in America, then sit back and watch Americans do what they do.

It CAN be done.

Of course, the DC area and burbs will see a major recession as the taxpayer-funded graft dries up, but we can live with that. Maseratti might even have to close one of it’s two dealerships, as influence peddling declines.

I wouldn’t call anybody a buffoon that can make 10 billion from 1 million. Do you know any politician that can do that, even one who is a “conservative constitutionalist”.

Well, there is a sure fire method, and it is the one that will ultimately be used. Hyperinflation. Eight years into hyperinflation could pay off the $19 trillion debt, with my change from Wendy’s.

Maybe it is the same as Dennis Miller’s solution: simply don’t pay it back. Problem solved. :)

It’s only nonsensical because it wasn’t Lord Obama who said it.

Yet you believe a vote for Ted Cruz is not a vote for Paul Ryan
