But if you think the democrat party will allow that then I'd like what you are drinking. It's the same with Trump and the GOP, but the GOP doesn't have the power to do anything with this freight train that is The Donald.jsence2 wrote:Btw, to answer George's question....I don't think Hilary is any better. The reason I have hope in Bernie has not so much to do with his plans....but the fact that he actually LISTENS to people who disagree with him, and engages them. And that is something we have been sorely missing for decades.
So, not to be an ass-hat here but where are you getting these "facts" and please don't say Facebook memesjsence2 wrote:[
His plans for the economy will plunge us into a recession worse than the one we are fighting to overcome. He wants to increase prices on goods exported to us from China.....and he thinks they'll just take that laying down. They won't. They will increase costs on our goods shipped there, which will lower revenue and cost jobs, while at the same time making us pay more money for items than we do now. It's a double-whammy. And that's not counting how Mexico will respond when he tries to do the same thing with them.
He is going to piss off our allies more than he already has, which will lead to problems for us in numerous areas.
He is going to continue to feed the xenophobia and racial divides that are ripping this country apart at the seams with his rhetoric.
He thinks Congress will simply do what he wants, and they won't. They will fight his stupid ideas, and he doesn't know how to handle being told no.
What kills me is people think "oh, he's a great businessman"--HE ISN'T!!! Can you name me one of his businesses that actually has succeeded that isn't a casino or resort?! I'm terrified for the future of this nation if he's elected.
That said, here's what I think happens--either Cruz or Rubio drop out late, and that person tells his delegates to vote for the other candidate. Isn't supposed to happen, but in this case I think it will. In exchange, said drop-out gets a VP or a cabinet level position promise if other is elected.![]()
I'd say he is a great businessman. He has built great wealth. He has also tried to venture out to make even more money and that has bit him in the ass. You can't win if you don't get on the field.
As far as the China comment....how much do we export to China compared to how much we import? I would guess it's peanuts compared to what we bring in. Just a hunch and don't want to look it up as I'm going to bed.
If Rubio or Cruz do that then you'll see the GOP implode. Donald will feel slighted by the establishment and will possibly run as an independent, which will cost the GOP the White House. Or he won't run at all and all the Donald supporters will sit at home like all the Republicans in 2012 when Mitt was the golden boy for the GOP, handing the house back to Obama.
He's a real estate mogul. Everything else has failed. The man owes almost $300m to banks. That's a verifiable fact.
