Now I wish Trump would have ran and won as a Democrat and wish he would have beat up Kasich or Cruz or Rubio in the election. Then Trump would be nominating Pelosi instead of Palin, Hillary instead of Romney, etc. LOL.
Hmmm, well I think those who speculated that he might actually be a dem, who favored debt producing jobs programs, single payer HC, abortion rights, and tariffs and trade wars .... have been proven wrong.
He appears to be a traditional goper except that he's tough on immigration. We may see even stronger jobs growth, but not because jobs are "coming back."
I hope so. I hope you are right. I'm still not done arguing with cons but I have an open mind and hope you guys prove me wrong. Its not simple that's for sure.
Trump is not a right winger. The only reason he will be a right winger is because he's going to give the GOP some things they want in order to get what he wants. Do I think he will let them cut or even defund social security and medicare? **** yes. Will he appoint a rwnj to the supreme court? I believe he will. But so what? What are they going to do, ban abortions? I'm never getting an abortion anyways. So I wonder why the **** do I care so much? Especially when all the young girls who believe in pro choice didn't show up to vote. So if its not important to them, or if they didn't believe the GOP would ban abortion, I guess they'll have to learn the hard way. LOL
Oh yeah. He's screwing the poorer rural underemployed rural whites who voted for him, at least in terms of policy.
He didn't apt Price as HHS to save medicare. We're going to a "premium support" voucher system. And that will pass sooner rather than later, because McConnell only needs 50 votes plus Pence. Truump is not preserving Medicare.
Congress will remove incentives for corporations to take jobs overseas, in terms of lowering the corp tax rate (dems were ok with this) and how we treat for earned profits. But, we're not gonna see tariffs.
I suppose they will tweak Nafta, but Canada and Mexico want changes as well.
Americans don't realize what's coming.
Oh, I don't think it will be that bad, at least for traditional gopers.
What we have done, though, is we've lost the chance to return the tax/wealth balance back to say .... 1975, and have program benefits for the middle class.
Blacks are screwed in terms of criminal justice reform and voting rights.
I don't think Latinos/Hispanics are monolithic in terms of immigration. Open borders are not that great for a lot of them.
I think the underemployed will see some benefit, in income terms, just from full employment and policies that don't favor off shoring as much.
