Here is the thing about Trump

And I say this as probably the most left leaning guy on this board. He is right on a lot of economic issues.

1. Free Trade
2. Social Security
3. Taking away special tax breaks for rich guys and corporations.

As liberal I was amazed when the folks at the Daily Kos and the Democratic Underground were thrilled after it took Hillary months to come up with a very timid position on social security. She half hardly declared she wouldn’t seek cuts at this time after having all that time to think about it. Reading between the lines, I knew that meant once she was President she would probably offer it up as a sacrificial lamb just like Obama did.

When Trump was asked about it, he didn’t spend months trying to formulate the prefect triangulated answer. He simply and succinctly said the idea of cutting social security was crazy talk.

You would have a pretty good candidate if you could build Frankenstein with:

rand Paul's foreign policy
jeb Bush's immigration policy
trump's taxing the rich policy
Rick santorum's minimum wage policy
Chris Christie's social security means testing
George Pataki's position on Climate change

Or you can just vote for a Democrat
There is a reason, voters are clearly considering "outsiders" this time around - Carson, Fiorina, Trump, Sanders --- because they are fed up with Washington!

I personally would love to see a Rubio / Fiorina ticket running against Hillary.
Agreed.

I like Trump and hope he wins.

We need somebody who isn't afraid to say anything about anyone.
Trump / Nesalk - have we ever seen the two together?
Much like myself, virtually everything he says is true. The problem is nobody wants to hear it.
