    Right but it's ok for him to put others at a disadvantage. Trumps new slogan: stop people from doing all the things that got me rich

    One thing I have learned from getting involved in a lot of internet debates is, before I slam someone else's candidate or their supporters, to think about whether what I am about to write could apply to my candidate or my fellow supporters.

    My two cents ... :oldman:

    American blue collar workers will continue to demand a decent quality of life, and the vulgar tycoon will continue to do what he does as a private citizen.

    The real racists are those who created the KKK, the democratic party. Obama has done nothing for minorities in this country other than use them to advance his agenda. Violence continues un-abated in the city he calls home.

    Trump has called for us to stop drugs and criminals from coming into this country by making sure our immigration laws are followed.

    He has also called for being careful about the Muslims we allow into this country. From looking at the lessons learned from California and current events in Europe, how can you pretend he is wrong.

    Donald Trump advances people based on their ability, not on their color. That is the way it should be.

    I've said it from day one that Trump only wants to cause enough chaos in the Republican party so that a Democrat will win.

    Trump is a NY liberal. He is not a conservative. Just look at what he has said over the years...

    In 1999, Trump said that he’s “very liberal when it comes to health care,” and believes in “universal health care."

    In 2000, Trump said he “would put forth a comprehensive health care program and fund it with an increase in corporate taxes."

    In 2004, Trump said that he identifies "more as Democrat" than he does as a Republican. He goes on to say that the "economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans."

    In 2007, Trump said Hillary "always surrounded herself with very good people. I think Hillary would do a good job [as President]."

    Trump has spent years donating to Hillary and other Democrats.

    In his book, "The America We Deserve," Trump says he supports “the ban on assault weapons and I also support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun."

    Trump supports ObamaCare's individual mandate...

    Donald Trump Says He Supports the ObamaCare Mandate

    Trump 2013 tweet shows support for Amnesty...

    "Congress must protect our borders first. Amnesty should be done only if the border is secure and illegal immigration has stopped." --- Donald Trump 2013 via twitter

    Trump on foreign workers...

    Trump: I needed foreign workers to do the part-time jobs Americans won’t do

    Trump has done another 180, and now supports H1B1 visas...

    Trump: I'm 'changing' my position on immigrant visas

    Trump doesn't want to cut entitlements...

    Trump: "I don't want to cut entitlements."

    Cruz supporters are Cruz supporters....same for Hillary or Sanders or even Kasich supporters for their candidates.

    TRUMP supporters could watch Trump, live on TV, defecate into his hands and fling his poo at a Presidential debate with his Democratic opponent in October....

    and would declare him "Lincolnesque".

    And the left will keep chaining themselves to cars, flocking to the Nazi banner of Moveon, and inciting violent attempts to shut down free speech.

    Your movement is on the same side as Bill Ayers....that says everything anyone needs to know about what kind of people inhabit the left.

    We've seen the face of the liberal army, and the only emotion it invokes is contempt.

    I always assumed he was acting without believing but felt he made a good offer (his leadership) and decided to take him up on it.

    If he reneges, he has still highlighted issues that would help American workers and jobseekers.

    Unless he actually withdraws he will continue to have my support despite his high learning curve needs. He's pretty intelligent anyways, which makes him still superior to the other offerings.

    As you can see, Molon....none of that matters to even the "principled conservatives" who support Trump.

    They abandon their "principles" quite willingly....to support their "Guide-Leader"

    - - - Updated - - -

    Actually, arch-Trump supporter Ann Coulter yesterday said Trump was "lowbrow" and even "mental".

    Yeah, you're hitting all the Rightwing Talk Radio talking points..."Move on"..."Bill Ayers"....

    how many hours a week do you listen to Rush and Hannity?

    Holy crap, where did you get such incite on to the plight of American business from undue burdens from government? Can you give me a list of books or authors that extrapolate upon these subjects of "no $1 a day" wages or "no poison in rivers"? Jeez, I need to catch up to your level of domestic business acumen.

    I was told we "can't compete" unless we're like China.....well, in China you get a $1 day and you can dump anything you like in the river.

    Although they DO have Government-run health care...while our health care is primarily private insurance. :)

    Why is the answer for progressives always a restriction? I am being serious. It always seem like a control or governor on the linkage is the first thing that comes to mind for progressives who want to change something. It's almost like improving the business environment in the US which allows even greater profit margins never even comes to mind.

    He'll have several months after the election to study up.

    Besides, do you think Obama was any better? Why do you think he had Clinton handle his foreign policy for him? The few things he did on his own, like sending the bust of Churchill back to England and insulting Israel, were disgusting.

    How? By making all other countries pay us? He continues to talk about how our "deals" that we have made are all bad for us, and this one magical man is come through and fix all these deals. How naive do you have to be to think that all the others countries that we have a "bad deal" with will simply bow down to the great Trump and give us the best deal ever. People forget on just how intertwined we truly are with other countries as far as trade deals, tariffs, foreign policy, pacts, and other deals.

    Just a quick question; Do you know how much of the cost of labor is taken home by the blue collar worker? Do you know how much fixed cost is associated with government compliance that must be offset by variable cost reductions, namely indirect and direct labor?

    Here's a quick question-

    Does universal Government-run health care make a country more or less productive and competitive on the world market?

    I blame a misinterpretation on your part for your sentiment. That is easy to remedy with a little reading.

    So Obamacare, private insurance mandates, isn't relevant to being competitive to China, which has universal Government-run health care.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Should be interesting....for years the Right say "All we need to do is scrap Obamacare and 'excessive regulations' (never fully defined) to compete with China"....

    but TRUMP adds in "We need tariffs too"...which contradicts their "free market" claims.

    I think that's a bit of a stretch. But ...

    If Hillary did the same thing, she would stand straight and tall the next day and unblinkingly tell her supporters that to her knowledge it wasn't poo at all, and her supporters would cheer. :clapping::woot::applause:

    I can just hear her now ...

    "No one told me it was poo!"
