OK and What does Trump change? He said he was smart to not pay taxes. Maybe you are not that smart to pay taxes. More tax cuts for the rich. How does that help you?

Nothing will change in trade deals. China is worlds largest economy and has 1.3 billion market and they hold over 1 trillion of our debt. China controls USA. Period. Nothing will change  that. Trump with his ADHD will be eaten alive by the super shrewd Chinese.

Older demographic is not as big in America, the millennials are. Among the millennials the split between white and non white is 55-45. Why do you think Obama won twice?

Social issues, gay marriage are all issues that are settled and it's not gonna change, whoever becomes president. Period.

So what does Trump really do? Deportation of illegals won't happen, he has said so himself. He will deport criminals, same as Obama. Wall? Not enough budget and Congress won't approve.

What else is left. Nothing. He will get tax cuts passed. That's it. And at the end of his term a recession, because trickle down doesn't work.[/quote]

stalemate with Donald- No one can see that?  He'll attempt to make moves and he'll be blocked. That's four years of sitting around, watching the king on his golden throne.

but the flip side?

Hillary -  who is not sincere, who was in bed with Wall Street, who has made some shady deals through her foundation - wants to tax the rich.  I think we SHOULD have learned enough about that move.  It doesn't work.  Our huge corporations are too protected to allow that to happen - at least to the extent that she CLAIMS she'd like to see it happen.  In the meantime, she's promising free tuition for folks making under $125K, suggesting that states and colleges "kick in to do their part."  translation - Those who have saved for college, who can only afford state universities, will see tuition rise.  why?  b/c we will have to pay for those receiving a free ride

State colleges will have to make cuts to faculty and programs b/c there simply is not enough time for the states themselves to go seeking grants to fund post-secondary education.  At this point, my own two kids (and I'm an older mother with young children) might be receiving a BS from Phoenix University online.  quality, right?

You want to talk about race?  b/c that's ugly

Hillary's super predator comment will never go away.  That came at a time when young black males were being locked up again and again.  So she had to eat those words and move forward with "building communities."  Building communities takes time.  And she's no role model for black or Hispanic males.  If she was smarter, she would have started reaching out to communities by building bridges and creating outreach programs with AUTHENTIC role models.  a 69 yo white lady ain't gonna cut it.

In the meantime, let's retrain police so that they're not so gun happy. There are over 700,000 police in the US housed in about 18,000 police departments.  Please tell me - logistically - how she will help to create training programs, but more importantly, how she will PAY for these programs?  Will the police departments be seeking out grants, too?

OK, let's invest in clean energy.  I'm on board, but again - with what money?  pro bono funding from Goldman Sachs?  And let's say clean energy takes off, what do you tel the "dirty energy" folks who have no training yet still need to eat?  What happens to those parts of America?  Who retrains them?

I can't even think about the foreign policy side.  It makes my head hurt.  But as we continue to police the world, working w/in a deficit, how do we strengthen the US internally while keeping ourselves safe on the external front?

It takes money. And another Obama stimulus check isn't the answer.
