Trump just wants to get all the illegals and "put them through the process" at which point they could immigrate. He doesn't even want to do that with all the illegals. And he praises Obama and Bush for controlling immigration, and pledges to continue doing that "perhaps with a lot more energy." How's that for a well-defined plan! No, not only does immigration create jobs, there's no immigration to cut off now!Trump would dedicate more money and resources to border security. What happens to the illegals here will most likely be left to the legislative branch to work out among themselves. Hilary is not winning on the issues and she's not in Obama's position of following a major crisis. Hilary is winning a least unpopular contest. This election is going to be nothing compared to Obama's election. Hilary has become a multi-millionaire with her support of global policies and free trade. Do I care if Hilary wins, becomes the 1st woman president and accomplishes nothing substantial for you for the next four years? Do we need Trump in office to do it for us or do we need Hilary in office to do it for us instead? It's a win-win either way for Republican voters.
And I don't get your constant references to cutting taxes for workers. Only 47% of them pay taxes already; didn't you hear Mitt Romney? Trumpie can't cut taxes for low income working people lower than they already are.
Yes, Hillary wants the USA to do its part to help the millions of refugees fleeing the tyranny about which we have done too little too late. But don't count on Trump to be any tougher on trade than Hillary. Hillary is often against free trade, while Trumpie uses and benefits from it.
Trump like all the worst politicians tries to soften his policies so he can be all things to all people. Everybody loves me, he says. And he truly wants everyone to love him. That's why he says that he won't get his tax policies adopted, which make huge cuts for the wealthy and send the deficit into orbit. He'll have to negotiate, he says, so the cuts won't happen. Really? If the people are so stupid to elect Trump president, you can be sure they will be stupid enough to put the Republicans back in control of congress too, and then some. You can bet those Republicans will give him every tax cut for the rich that he wants. Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric will be well taken care of.
It's pretty easy to look at the Clinton's tax statements and see their wealth has been build nearly solely on book sales and speech making; there is no income related to trade. People who believe otherwise are ignorant.
At a minimum, Clinton will form a Progressive SCOTUS that will have consequences for our grandkids - doing so is a major step in blowing away the rearguard actions (e.g., Citizens United, gerrymandering, voter suppression) of the Right that is dying away from simple demographics. Further, she is under no illusion of working with the GOP and will not repeat the near fatal mistake of Obama's first term - I fully expect her to be charming and smiling at GOP Congressional critters as she slips the knife between their ribs - politically speaking. I fully expect many on the Right to get frustrated, with officials just deciding to retire from the government (e.g. Chief Justice Roberts, Paul Ryan?) and their sheeple voters deciding not to bother voting. I'd like to see some of the more crazy ones take over more bird sanctuaries and either get shoot or put in jail for long periods of time. It will be entertaining to see how you choose to go down in the next few years.
