Excellent post.
kurtster wrote:fixed your link. Hard to argue with 538. I do have a couple of degrees and one is a 4 year business degree and I support Trump. I am angry for a lot of reasons, but mostly about illegal immigration. I believe that the core of Trump's support stems from this one issue, more than anything else. Its the first box to check on my list for any candidate. No different from those who look at abortion rights as their first box on their list. In case its not been noticed, Trump is basically agnostic when it comes to religion. While he was raised in Norman Vincent Peale's church, I think he got more out the positive thinking part than the religious part. He's the only candidate on both sides who isn't talking much about social issues. How refreshing. No deceit there. He's sticking to economic and security issues, which includes securing the border. I've read his immigration paper and his tax plan. They are both of substance. He is not a part of the global banking and industrial oligarchy. He owes them nothing and cannot be controlled by them. He understands how they get out of paying their fair share by merger's that take corporate headquarters overseas to avoid taxes which is called inversion and wants to stop it for openers. Currency manipulation is another. I don't think any other candidate can talk knowledgeably about inversion or currency off of the top of their head. He lives and breathes this stuff, knows it inside and out. That is his wheel house. He is also firmly opposed to the TPP, another important issue for me. It is estimated that US corporations are sitting on at least $2 Trillion in cash overseas. He has a real tax plan to bring it back home. He is the only candidate talking about this as well. Just think about what that would do for our economy. That money would be pumped into our economy and create one hell of a business boom that would benefit all of us. Remember that a rising tide lifts all boats. I've looked at many of the nuts and bolts of his plans and rhetoric and do not see deceit. What do you see about Trump that is deceitful / cunning ?
