“Perhaps you meant that the millions more didn’t matter because the number of votes has no relationship to the soundness of the policies in your opinion.”

Correct. That is what the term “bandwagon fallacy” means.

To the point at hand: Trump's claim that he can eliminate a $19 trillion debt in eight years is not superficially plausible, in my opinion.

However, if you can explain how Trump can make such a lift, I will listen with an open mind.

Thanks for the opportunity, I do not feel the need to convince you that the attempt is worth the effort.

From what I have read it would be a multi-pronged approach including but not limited to eliminating Government waste, selling Government assets like unused buildings, oil rights etc, returning Education to the states and eliminating unnecessary Government Departments.

The plan would include a reexamination of the services we perform for other Nation’s defense and the support we disproportionately give to Nato & the UN.
As the EPA, corporate tax structure and regulatory strangulation are lifted there will be a better business climate and more startups, people off welfare and paying tax is a double plus.

The border wall and the decrease in spending on illegal aliens will factor in has been shown in communities that have reversed their deficits by enforcing the existing laws and cutting 1/3 or more of their illegal population.

Its a process of putting a house in order. Trump believes that you set a difficult goal and if you don’t quite reach it you get further than you would if you set a less ambitious goal. In my life that has been true.
