Election 2016 (Page 44)

CD - it's simple for me.  I'll take any over Hillary Clinton.  I think that woman is a danger to this country beyond anyone else who ran at any time in this campaign.  I don't look at anything else.  I'm willing to roll the dice on anyone but Clinton.......period.

Just ran across Trump on CNN broadcasting a policy speech. Looks like he's giving up on Mexico paying for his stupid wall and now going with a "they will reimburse us" idea. Rrrright, I am sure they will pay us back. Sounds more like a flip-flopper working a condo scam.

Lol, nice stretch. Reimburse, tax, vat, tarrif. They all equal them paying no matter what word is used or how you spin it.

The game is rigged. It's all about power and money. Stinks like a whorehouse at low tide.

Please explain how any of those options other than reimburse would have Mexico actually paying for it.

This is awesome. He should have come out with this at the convention and been pushing it all along. It will make the rounds. I just hope people will take the time to read it and at least see how he wants to change the trajectory of the country. We may yet crash and burn but at least we can go down fighting.

“Therefore, on the first day of my term of office, my administration will immediately pursue the following six measures to clean up the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington, DC:

FIRST, propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress; SECOND, a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health); THIRD, a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated; FOURTH, a 5 year-ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service; FIFTH, a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government; SIXTH, a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.

On the same day, I will begin taking the following seven actions to protect American workers:

FIRST, I will announce my intention to renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from the deal under Article 2205 SECOND, I will announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership THIRD, I will direct my Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator FOURTH, I will direct the Secretary of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative to identify all foreign trading abuses that unfairly impact American workers and direct them to use every tool under American and international law to end those abuses immediately FIFTH, I will lift the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars’ worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal.
SIXTH, lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward SEVENTH, cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix America’s water and environmental infrastructure

Additionally, on the first day, I will take the following five actions to restore security and the constitutional rule of law:

FIRST, cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama SECOND, begin the process of selecting a replacement for Justice Scalia from one of the 20 judges on my list, who will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States THIRD, cancel all federal funding to Sanctuary Cities FOURTH, begin removing the more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won’t take them back FIFTH, suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. All vetting of people coming into our country will be considered extreme vetting.

Next, I will work with Congress to introduce the following broader legislative measures and fight for their passage within the first 100 days of my Administration:

1. Middle Class Tax Relief And Simplification Act. An economic plan designed to grow the economy 4% per year and create at least 25 million new jobs through massive tax reduction and simplification, in combination with trade reform, regulatory relief, and lifting the restrictions on American energy. The largest tax reductions are for the middle class. A middle-class family with 2 children will get a 35% tax cut. The current number of brackets will be reduced from 7 to 3, and tax forms will likewise be greatly simplified. The business rate will be lowered from 35 to 15 percent, and the trillions of dollars of American corporate money overseas can now be brought back at a 10 percent rate.

2. End The Offshoring Act Establishes tariffs to discourage companies from laying off their workers in order to relocate in other countries and ship their products back to the U.S. tax-free.

3. American Energy & Infrastructure Act. Leverages public-private partnerships, and private investments through tax incentives, to spur $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over 10 years. It is revenue neutral.

4. School Choice And Education Opportunity Act. Redirects education dollars to gives parents the right to send their kid to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. Ends common core, brings education supervision to local communities. It expands vocational and technical education, and make 2 and 4-year college more affordable.

5. Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act. Fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines, and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want to speed the approval of life-saving medications.

6. Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act. Allows Americans to deduct childcare and elder care from their taxes, incentivizes employers to provide on-site childcare services, and creates tax-free Dependent Care Savings Accounts for both young and elderly dependents, with matching contributions for low-income families.

7. End Illegal Immigration Act Fully-funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall; establishes a 2-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a 5-year mandatory minimum for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying and to ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.

8. Restoring Community Safety Act. Reduces surging crime, drugs and violence by creating a Task Force On Violent Crime and increasing funding for programs that train and assist local police; increases resources for federal law enforcement agencies and federal prosecutors to dismantle criminal gangs and put violent offenders behind bars.

9. Restoring National Security Act. Rebuilds our military by eliminating the defense sequester and expanding military investment; provides Veterans with the ability to receive public VA treatment or attend the private doctor of their choice; protects our vital infrastructure from cyber-attack; establishes new screening procedures for immigration to ensure those who are admitted to our country support our people and our values

10. Clean up Corruption in Washington Act. Enacts new ethics reforms to Drain the Swamp and reduce the corrupting influence of special interests on our politics.

On November 8th, Americans will be voting for this 100-day plan to restore prosperity to our economy, security to our communities, and honesty to our government.

This is my pledge to you.

Agree, he should have, but he has no discipline to stay on message, so highly unlikely he could have pulled it off, and it's too little too late now.

Plus, even when he did come out with this last Saturday, he led off this speech with his pledge to sue all his sexual assault accusers. So, guess what led the headlines? Controversy sells. Also, he needs to drop his "rigged election" crap or the press won't be able to focus on his (newest) message.

Have you seen the montage of video clips with all the democrats calling the system rigged? The press is willfully ignorant and not reporting much on all the evidence of a rigged system. In years past the networks used to try to prove they were unbiased by showing the number of minutes each network spent on negative and positive stories about each candidate. You don't see that any more.....the bias is just so obviously it leave fair minded people just shaking their collective heads.

At the end of the day there will be 40 million or so American that voted for Trump.....and, flawed candidate that he is, that speaks volumes!!

I built a wall in my hallway to keep my 16 year old twin daughters in the other side of the house and away from me........they went out a window and came around anyway.  They just followed the money.

Tony is even less likely to esplain things to you.

My point exactly. I just wanted Tony to say it. :-)

They already built part of it. They paid Boeing 1.15 Billion dollars. The program to build the wall/fence/secure border was canceled by BO.

People look at the area and think "fence" and must picture the Berlin Wall for 2,000 miles. That is not feasible nor is that what is being proposed.

Educate yourself:

You are a civil engineer as are thinking in terms of a physical wall. Think outside the box and imagine system using satellites, towers, drones, cameras, sensors as well as physical barriers. It can be done. It won't be cheap but it can be done. It must be done or this country will be over run with illegal aliens and terrorists.

I you had put up a camera in the hall you'd of seen them trying to escape, This would have alerted the satellite so when they went out the window you could have picked them up with satellite and tracked them until a drone arrived and followed them with huge spotlight and a recording of you say "You just got another week of being grounded! Any you are going to pay for this wall out of your allowance if it takes 214 years!"

Day one, in my conservative Texas county, had twice as many votes as 2012.  Same for the liberal county down the road.
