Kind of said that I feel Trump is also the best candidate the Republican party has. Many of his views are really out there, but he seems somewhat sincere about them. He's also the only Republican candidate that, as far as I know, believes health care is a human right, and wants a universal system. Nearly every other candidate would be okay with people bleeding in the streets. That one fact is like a diamond in a mountain of shit; if we have to swim in it, at least there's that somewhere in it.

Scott Walker is also a parasite disguised as a living, breathing human, so any shit that "person" gets is wholly deserved. Does he still curl up into a ball if asked if evolution is real? Walker is the most dangerous man running, for some big monied interests love the guy, but any decent human being should be afraid of what he tries to get away with. He may look like somewhat of an intellectual in a school of mentally retarded individuals, but that's merely charisma, which makes him even more threatening.

Just changed my party affiliation so I can vote for Donald in the primary.

Heheh. Me too

Does anyone even know what his policies are?

All I know is that he wants to build a wall.

I ordered Trump's book "Time To Get Tough" on amazon for a penny used. It's the book he wrote after he decided not to run in 2012. It goes through his policies. Some of which are:

If oil-rich places like Saudi Arabia need our military intervention, they are going to have pay for it. Place a strong focus on tough trade negotiations with other countries with people who know what they're doing. Strengthen our military to the point we'll never have to use it. Tax imports on countries, especially where there is a trade imbalance. Punish American corporations that move jobs overseas with heavy taxation so jobs stay here. Crack down on illegal immigration -- he says we're paying to jail their criminals, plus stuff like welfare & education costs. Illegals take jobs while they artificially lower wages. Repeal the 14th Amendment about the anchor baby stuff. Let them come legally and fast track them. Repeal Obamacare because there's a better way to do universal healthcare. Simplify the tax code to something like:
$0-30,000 - 1%
$30k-100k - 5%
$100k-1 million - 10%
$1 mill plus - 15%

Anyway that's most of the jist.

That would be great if Trump's clothing line was leading by example.

That would be great if Trump's clothing line was leading by example.

Well, he did fess up to it, saying he was glad Macy's did what they did because it bothered him that his ties came from China. I guess as a businessman he recognized the issue but profit came first. As a President, he'd have the power to change it? I don't know if it's really straight up hypocrisy if he says he wants to fix what's broken, since he knows what's broken due to the fact he took advantage of that for his career (like being a lobbyist as well).

As a businessman his role isn't to improve or help America in anyway; it's to make as large a profit as possible. It says nothing about what he would do as politician where his role would be completely different. Actually, it might actually position him better to come up with ways to stop it as he better understand the motivations behind it.

Edit: And I just noticed I pretty much just repeated what Joe^ said. Welp. I should read threads all the way before replying.

What's it like now in the US for taxes?

A little off topic but I was watching CNN interview Trump and he now looks to be backing off from single pay health care. He says the only time the government should be involved is if there is some kind of catastrophe. His solution? Negotiate with hospitals for better deals or something. But he wants to repeal Obama Care.
