    You'll have to take most of that up with a Hillary supporter. All I'm saying is that Trump has a dismal track record as a "free market" candidate.

    Tr(oll)mp will either nominate his sister or Sarah Palin.

    Tr(oll)mp is OPPOSED to raising the minimum wage and he has spent his entire life trying to diddle people out of what they earn. The vast majority of the 3,500 lawsuits against him are because he failed to pay people what they were due.

    - - - Updated - - -

    The implementation does not match up to the original proposal.

    Unfair trade deals. Let me illustrate to you how America has been taking is up the butt in trade for many years and it is only getting worse. Look at automobiles. How many does the United States import every year? And how many does the United States export every year? Now, as far as cars go, I could choose from many makes and models from many countries. So is that true for lets say the Japanese, just as an example?

    That article is 7 years old. I'm quite sure things have gotten worse since then even. Just out of curiosity, why don't you try this exercise, go to Google Earth, go to Tokyo, Japan, get on the street views and see how long it takes you to find an American car. See if you can find a Mac Truck, a Kenwood or a Peterbuilt. See if you can find a Harley Davidson motorcycle. If you don't understand that we've been in a trade war for decades and we are the only ones who aren't fighting it, you are really stupid.

    I saw his list and it wasn't bad. Hillary would nominate liberal activist judges and obama is at the top of her list because of the deal they made on her illegal emails. That is unacceptable!

    Didn't pay any attention to the statement in question so I can't comment on it one way or the other. I'm a one issue voter in this election and that issue is to stop the supreme Court from becoming a rubber stamp for a Democrat president.

    That's because raising the minimum wage will put hundreds of thousands of poor people out of work. Why do democrats/liberals not understand that? Do you not care that poor people will lose their jobs because employers will fire them rather that pay them more? Do you not understand this is what you are advocating?

    "Responding favorably to the names put forward by Trump, Klukowski began, “This list includes some incredible conservatives, from Diane Sykes on the federal Seventh Circuit, to Tom Lee on the Utah Supreme Court, to David Straus on the Minnesota Supreme Court, to Don Willet on the Texas Supreme Court.”

    http://www.breitbart.com/radio/2016/05/21/klukowski-trump-scotus-list-conservative-goldmine/

    The list included three former law clerks of Justice Clarence Thomas, the most conservative justice currently serving on the Supreme Court.

    Trump later told the public that he was going to add names to the list, which led some optimistic conservative legal experts to hope that he would add names such as Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Mike Lee, or former U.S. Solicitor General Paul Clement"

    Assumes factoids NOT in evidence.

    Many poor people are FORCED to work multiple jobs just to feed their families. Not having to work multiple jobs might appear to put people out of work but in fact it will actually boost the economy instead. That has been established already in those cities that have already raised their minimum wages.

    Tr(oll)mp has ZERO credibility. He will change what passes for his mind as soon as sees a pair of boobs that he likes and nominate them to be on the Supreme Court.

    Lawrence O'Donnell. The quintessential hired political hack of the super rich to lecture down to the stupidest Democrat submissive weakwilled minions. :roflol:

    I understand what Trump said. But I also understand your view too. If you go to buy a car, either you buy the car or not. The idea that you will read the contract, negotiate price or interest rates are all incomprehensible concepts to you, and certainly would agree to whatever the salesmen says is the value of your trade it.

    To you, deals are very simple, purely simplistic. Either you want to buy a car or or you do not. Details are irrelevant and only an incoherent mental case would actually care about any details of the purchase or contract.

    So you trace-like rant you submissive agreement with him.

    O'Donnell's concept in making his decisions on what to say each night are based upon his view that most Democrats are extremely simple minded submissive personalities, so he talks to them like they are children. For the most part, that analysis of his appears generally accurate.

    I posted a link to the actual transcript of the speech, which you called, "off topic nonsense."

    So no, Lawrence O'Donnell is playing Jon Stewart. That is what you really want to talk about.

    Sure, I will give you a link to that prediction by economists:

    So you go ahead and cut half a million people in the United States of America out of the job market. Go ahead. Just remember, some of those are single mothers trying to feed their children.

    Not true. People either get laid off or fired, or their hours are cut back. At the fast food places, they are looking towards automation and kiosks to replace their workforce.

    See my previous post on the CBO report of 500,000 jobs lost.

    Donald Trump is only the one speaking out against trade and cheap labor which causes Americans to be over worked and under paid through outsourcing of jobs to foreign countries, and profiting from illegal immigrant labor here.

    It is not really how he says what we're interested in but that he is saying it, and is not speaking for the corporations who fund hillary's presidency and pays for favorable laws of the land.

    I asked you a question for which you did not answer? I said " has it done it so far"? I also asked you to link the hundreds of thousands who have "LOST" their jobs. You didn't do that. Instead, you just injected a story that had nothing to do with actual jobs lost. Lol! You couldn't produce an honest post if your life depended on it. Just another classic example of why the Right is in the toilet.

    The two party system is solely to blame.

    I understand where you are coming from, but, if you will go back and watch Howard Dean in the video I posted, you will understand that NAFTA and trade is a little more complicated than we all want to admit. It's a balancing act, and there is a lot of misinformation being tossed around about it.

    Just to illustrate my point, just listen to Trump talk about liking trade, not liking trade, making deals, not making deals, etc. The man is confused. You yourself are confused about what Trump said. You said he was the only one speaking out against trade, yet, you failed to acknowledge he was also for it as well.

    As for establishment Republicans and Democrats like Hillary, that too has to be balanced in a manner that directs its attention in favor of American workers, and does away with outsourcing.

    The OP starts a divisive and blatantly harassing antagonistic thread and expects respectful dialog?

    OK, then.....

    Clintonites are attacking GOP Senator Rob Portman (one of the most honorable men in the senate) for voting for NAFTA when it was the head of the Clinton Crime family that pushed NAFTA. talk about hypocrisy from the Democrats
