[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should just ask.........

“Wouldn’t you want the government to take better care of you so you don’t have to worry about taking care of yourself?"[/quote]

+1.  Indeed.  Wouldn't you want to not be a republican so you're not putting in power the wealthy business owners who profit from your apparent ignorance and blind allegiance?  Wouldn't you want to be a socialist?  I'm not from the US and I have to give the GOP a slow clap every time I think of what they've pulled off in the last 35 years.[/quote]

Donald Trump is a wealthy business owner who has created tens of thousands of jobs.   When he profits, so do the people who work for him.   In a capitalist society, you can't hate companies but want jobs.

Blue collar workers for the most part do not want handouts, they want jobs.    That is why they buy into Trump's message.   They do not view themselves as poor, but rather displaced due to bad trade deals and unfair global competition.  Many, believe it or not, have the old fashion view that government handouts are charity and it embarrasses them.   They want good jobs.   Hillary has never created one, other than for attorneys representing her.[/quote]

You know that Trump was indicted for hiring illegal immigrant workers, right?

Is that you little Marco?   Never convicted.   Never fined.   They were hired by the general contractor, not Trump.  If that argument does not work in the primary, then it will not work now.   Trump is successful and employs thousands, that is why he has the attention of those who feel they have been left behind.[/quote]

That points to a lack of oversight and accountability.   If Trump becomes President and the executive branch agencies start engaging in all kinds of abuses I guess it'll just be "Oh, that was just Agency X, has nothing to do with Trump?"[/quote]

A developer typically does not oversee its General Contractor's books.   Do you blame GWB for 9-11?   After all, it was agencies in his administration that failed to connect the dots.   Do you blame Obama for the IRS singling out conservative groups?    Do you even know what a CEO does?[/quote]
