Advice for Trump Today's WSJournal, Karl Rove suggests:

Advice for Trump

Today's WSJournal, Karl Rove suggests:

1. Change your tone. No incitement.

2. Work to unify GOP. By nice to party regulars.

3. Better responses to the attacks

4. Get advisers and name them. (good move announcing Sen. sessions as heading up foreign policy)

5. Things slow a bit now. Study up on the issues

6. Go after swing voters

7. Go after Hillary and Obama now

8. New stump speech

9. Stop talking about polls  http://www.wsj.com/articles/how-trump-can-raise-his-game-1458169409

To #3. Better responses examples from me

1.Promote Violence?  You say 1. Give examples of Obama's violent rhetoric Democrats are much worse but you media ignore it 2. Evidence is clear far left and Bernie supporters are purposefully inciting, violating free speech. test of police if they can keep order. The Democrats are behaving like fascists denying free speech and threatening to disrupt our right of free assembly. is that what americans want. You media ignore it.

2. accusation his plans to reduce taxes will increase deficits: 

Those "studies" come from far left wing economic groups that do not believe in what Reagan proved conclusively: lower taxes lead to much higher growth.

3. Racist: a. none of the 65 Muslim nations will allow any Muslim refugees. If they won't why would we? Why do Democrats want to endanger us by bringing in unvettable (FBI) Isis supporters from Syrian currently raping their way through europe. Carter enacted same temporary restrictions agaimnst Muslims i call for after iran took our hostages and no one called that racism. This is common sense, as a trmporary measure until FBI assures us we can be safe. 

b. I never said ALL Mexicans but why are democrats so quick to keep murderous thieving criminal illegal aliens here and not deport them? Non criminal illegals will have an opportunity to come back but the question is why do Democrats not believe we have a right to have a border. Mexico has a very tough border on its southern end.

Top Ten Reasons for Supporting Donald Trump:

Paul Muffoletto Top Ten Reasons for Supporting Donald Trump:

1. Donald Trump is immune to special interest lobbying because he has accepted no special interest money. No other candidate can make this claim.
2. Donald Trump knows how to negotiate. No one builds an international business empire the size of Mr. Trump’s without being able to win at the negotiating table.
3. Donald Trump is an executive. The President of the United States is the Chief Executive Officer of our nation. We don’t need a policy expert or a legislator – we need someone who knows how to run an organization. Mr. Trump is the only candidate who has a proven record as a successful executive on a large scale.
4. Donald Trump is honest. Mr. Trump is a man who tells the truth. He may not always say it in the most polished way, but our country has had enough suave liars. It is time for some straight forward honesty.
5. Donald Trump is decisive. We hear about his having business interests that filed for bankruptcy. In each case, he looked at the situation as it was, and then he cut his losses. We need someone who will look at government programs realistically and if they are failures; will end the wasteful Washington spending.
6. Donald Trump is courageous. Mr. Trump has been viciously attacked by the Washington establishment and the media – and he has not budged one inch. In other words, he is willing to take charge and lead.
7. Donald Trump listens. At Trump Presidential events, the audience gets to actually speak to him without being screened, and he responds without a teleprompter.
8. Donald Trump understands that a nation without borders, language and laws is not a nation.
9. Donald Trump has actually read the Bill of Rights, and is willing to defend its provisions. He is not afraid to speak about Christian persecution, and protecting gun rights.
10. Donald Trump loves this country – and says so. He wants to make America great again –and he will!

Greatest cabinet ever

Chicago Trump event: Obama, Soros, Sanders,Isis, Palestinian terrorists, leftist radicals all linked

Obama's fingerprints are all over this effort to terrorize and disrupt Trump's Chicago event. In the same way he brought Furgeson rioters to White House to urge them on, as well as Mizzou blacklivesmatter rioters, our community agitator in chief wants anarchy. His terrorism banker, Soros funds several of the key groups and Bill Ayers, Pentagon bomber and guy in whose Hyde Park living room Obama got his start, was a big part of the rioters/ protesters. 

     Soros admits will spend millions disrupting Trump. http://latino.foxnews.com/.../billionaire-smackdown...and takes credit for it. http://www.infowars.com/soros-funded-moveon-org-takes-credit-for-violence-in-chicago/  This is all typical Democratic tactics. Anything to win. Violence, deny free speech, facism, lie, bribes from terrorist nations, voter fraud. There policies vcreate record poverty, a weakened Americam alineated all our allies, enhance our enemies, endanger all of us.

Good judge of man by who are his enemies; Trump's enemies? Who protested last night? Moveon.org liberal fascists, Muslim terrorists "free free Palestine" crowd, Gorge Soros, Bill Ayers, Blacklivesmatter cop killing advocates, illegal alien criminals, radical leftist anarchists. Now even isis has gotten involved. http://theconservativetreehouse.com/.../breaking-trump.../

BERNIE ADMITS the attackers last night in Chicago are his backers. ""[Sanders] should really get up and say to his people, 'stop,'" he said. 

Sanders defended his supporters while speaking in Chicago on Saturday.

“What our supporters are responding to is a candidate who has in fact in many ways encouraged violence," he said." Bernie, you're the one leading to violence.

5 Reasons Why Trump Would be a Better President than You Thought

5 Reasons Why Trump Would be a Better President than You Thought http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/03/07/5-reasons-why-trump-would-be-a-better-president-than-you-thought/?

Would President Trump be that bad?

The establishment would have you thinking that.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)

79%

repeated the same platitudes and half-truths several times following his embarrassing performance on Super Tuesday—Trump is a racist, Trump is not a conservative, Trump isn’t electable, etc. The reaction? Everyone laughed.

Nothing changed at the Thursday night debate. Many of the attacks leveled at Trump seemed to be made up by a junior high school focus group. Those that actually had substance—and there were a few great barbs by both the candidates and the moderators—questioned not only Trump’s honesty and integrity, but also his “conservative credentials.”

Trump, the establishment says (along with the anti-Trump crowd), is all image and no substance, a “reality TV star” who doesn’t understand the Constitution or American government. His “debate” performance seemed to solidify this critique. After all, Trump does not give concrete answers to policy questions and maybe spends too much time on the size of his hands.

But let us consider five reasons why the establishment and the anti-Trump crowd may be wrong about a President Trump:

1.) “I’ll look into it”: A President Trump who will “look into” a particular situation is not the same as a president who will unconstitutionally legislate from the Oval Office. We have seen that Trump has good advisors, particularly

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL)

80%

of Alabama, a man whom no one would confuse with a weak-kneed liberal. Sessions has been the most vocal opponent of illegal immigration in the Senate. Does anyone think that his influence would lead to a Gang of Eight scenario and compromise from President Trump? “Looking into it” might produce a push for even more stringent immigration policies from Congress. If Trump says he will support it, Congress would be foolish not to act.

2.) Trump won’t start WWIII: Among the remaining candidates (including the Democrats), Trump has been the most vocal opponent of military adventurism. He has suggested he will take the fight to ISIS, but Trump has been insistent in his belief that the Iraq war was a mistake, that American blood has been shed in a misguided attempt to restructure the Middle East, and that a real conservative American foreign policy would place American interests first, ahead of those of foreign nations. Trump’s foreign policy would be closest to the founding generation’s desire for peaceful neutrality. As a businessman, Trump understands that peace produces prosperity, both for the American federal republic and the people who reside here.

3.) We may get Judge Napolitano: No, not Janet Napolitano, but Judge Andrew Napolitano for the Supreme Court. Critics have charged that Trump would likely appoint a rabid leftist for the bench, perhaps his sister, but in a recent interview, Trump advisor Roger Stone hinted that Andrew Napolitano might be Trump’s first choice to take Antonin Scalia’s seat on the bench. It would make sense. Napolitano has a high profile in the media and is rock solid on civil liberties. And though he appears regularly on Fox News, he is not an establishment favorite, nor would he be an establishment choice. It would be as unconventional as a Trump presidency. That is good for America. Who needs another Harvard lawyer on the Supreme Court bench? We have a clear example of how a Harvard Law grad has screwed up America. He currently resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Hillary Clinton thought he would make a good Supreme Court justice.

4.) Trump brings back the Reagan coalition: It wasn’t that long ago that people used to salivate over the 1980s Reagan coalition of blue-collar Democrats and white-collar Republicans. Trump has that kind of appeal. This is why his message resonates across the political spectrum and why many Americans are supporting him. If the Republican Party is serious about a “big tent” philosophy, Trump is their guy. Most conservatives vote Republican because they lack real alternatives. It is better, they think, to hold their nose and pull the lever for Mitt Romney than vote for Barack Obama. This hasn’t worked, and American knows it. Trump represents real America, what Glenn Beck recently derided as the “bubba effect,” and real America is ready to kick the establishment to the curb. They want jobs, security, and someone who isn’t afraid to stand up to the cultural Marxism of the establishment, both Left and Right. Reagan would agree. He nailed the “bubba” vote as well. That worked out ok.

5.) Trump cleans up corruption: Trump has made clear that he intends to prosecute Hillary Clinton if elected president. That is a good start, and candidate Hillary doesn’t stand a chance against the verbal onslaught Trump would bring to a Trump v. Clinton campaign. She has never encountered someone like Trump as a candidate. He is not awe struck by the Clinton machine. But more than that, Trump prides himself on efficiency. Grover Cleveland, the last good Democrat elected to the executive office, rode a wave of anti-corruption into the executive mansion and proceeded to remove as much of the cancer from Washington as possible. It would not be hard to image a similar great purge of establishment corruption from D.C. should Trump be elected. It would be like shining lights on cockroaches. Clinton would be the first target, but other vestiges of Washington corruption would be getting a Trump scrubbing. Who wouldn’t want that?

At the end of the day, Americans should ask, “Do we want a chief legislator, a dictator in chief who already has an agenda and like Teddy Roosevelt, Wilson, FDR, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Obama etc., will force Congress into submission?” We have already seen how that screwed up America. Think the New Deal, Fair Deal, and the Great Society. Making America great again will take a different kind of leadership, one in which “I’ll look into it” is preferable to “I’ll act even if it’s unconstitutional.”

The claim that Donald Trump would be richer if he'd just invested his inheritance in the S&P500 is complete b.s.

https://voat.co/v/politics/comments/699871 (v/politics)

submitted 3 months ago by didntsayeeeee

"Now, let's get some facts about Donald Trump's father. Fred Trump had a net worth which is estimated somewhere between $250 and $400 million, and he died in 1999. That's only sixteen years ago. If you take the most generous estimate and imagine you've invested all of Fred Trump's $400 million in the S&P500 with dividends reinvested, then by 2015 you'd have.... $868 million. And in fact Donald was only one of four heirs, plus there's taxes, so we'd be presumably looking at an actual inheritance of less than $100 million. Since the Donald was already a billionaire at this stage, it didn't make that much of a difference to him.

Now, what does this National Journal article actually say? Let's track it down:http://www.nationaljournal.com/twentysixteen/2015/09/02/1-easy-way-donald-trump-could-have-been-even-richer-doing-nothing

Had the celebrity businessman and Republican presidential candidate invested his eventual share of his father’s real-estate company into a mutual fund of S&P 500 stocks in 1974, it would be worth nearly $3 billion today, thanks to the market’s performance over the past four decades. If he’d invested the $200 million that Forbes magazine determined he was worth in 1982 into that index fund, it would have grown to more than $8 billion today.

OK, so the claim that we keep hearing is the Chinese-whispers conflation of two different claims. If he had taken his share of his inheritance in 1974 (why 1974? why not 1976 or 1963?) and invested it in mutual funds, and never spent a dime on anything then he'd have $3 billion, which still isn't as much as he has today. It would also require him to say "Yo, Dad, I know you're only in your sixties, but can I have my share of your inheritance now?" which would generally be considered rather rude. In order to get rich this way he'd have to access his inheritance a full 25 years before his father actually died. (And also never spend a dime, which I'll come back to.)

The second claim, about 1982, is probably true. In 1982 Trump was 36 and had already amassed $200 million, if he'd stuck that in the S&P500 and never spent anything then yes, he'd be a billion or two richer (this is where the $8 billion claim comes from). But this is a matter of arbitrarily choosing investment strategies and timelines with the advantage of hindsight. Why was 1982 picked? Because if you buy in 1982 you can get a dip. If you buy in 1981 you do worse. If you buy in 1983 you do worse.

What's more, both these analyses rely on Trump not spending any money. In fact Donald Trump has for the past several decades enjoyed a rather expensive lifestyle involving multiple garish penthouses, private jets, private helicopters, and two ex-wives. Living the same lifestyle whilst attempting the S&P500 thing would take away a lot of the money available for reinvestment.

So how did Donald Trump get rich? It sure as fuck wasn't his inheritance, which he didn't get until 1999 when he was already a billionaire. That's not to say that Donald didn't benefit from being Fred Trump's son; as well as the $1 million loan that Fred Trump famously gave his son to get started, Fred Trump was also a guarantor on the loans for a few of Donald's first projects. He also benefited from the Trump name, Trump contacts, and all the skills he'd learned from his father. Nonetheless, Donald Trump did manage to amass $200 million in his own name by the time he was 36 and $1.6 billion by the time he was 53. And that's pretty impressive.

On Romney vs Trump

On Romney vs Trump
1. He lost. Gave us Obama for last 4 years. Who wants to listen to him?

2. Some Republican "leaders" are now claiming "Trump is more than a political choice. It is a litmus test of character." They suggest supporting Trump is immoral. They better change their tune if Trump gets the nomination. My view: 1. Not getting on board if Trump wins the nomination and thereby facilitating Hillary's election, is a character failure. Politics is always a choice among imperfect people. Doing anything to ease this corrupt, lying, treasonous, radical, pro-Islamist Hillary to the presidency, is immoral. 2. After a total failure of the Republican establishment to stop Obama/Hillary's program of weakening USA and growing terrorism, supporting the old Republican system is a failure of character. The voters were clear in 2014. Last chance

Stop Obama. The Republican Senate and House did nothing to stop him. That is what led to Trump.

3. Romney’s attacks on Trump’s business seem absurd. There are grounds to attack trump but Romney's "Trump is a not a successful businessman"? Yes a series of his ideas did not pan out. But he is worth at last 16x and maybe 40x Romney. How many Americans have $4 to $10 billion? Yes he inherited some money but turned what he got into much more. Most inherited wealth gets lost within 2 generations. Any buildings with Romney's name on them? Babe Ruth struck out huge amount. Edison had way more inventions that did not pan out than panned out. Dr Seuss was turned down the first 23 x his first book was submitted. Romney lost 2x in run for presidency. He was attacked in much the same way he is attacking Trump. He probably fantasizes a desperate Repu Party will steal the nomination from Trump and beg Romney to carry the mantel to lose yet again. Not going to happen.

FOR TRUMP

Why Trump could be a GREAT President.

1. Will close the borders and deport illegal felons that Obama opened

2. Will slow Muslim immigration which endangers us that Obama did

3. Will destroy Isis that Obama pretends to fight

4. Will improve balance of trade

5. Will cut business killing regulations that Obama instituted

6. Will reform tax system. Best plan. http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/03/04/larry-kudlow-trump-tax-plan-will-bring-tremendous-movement-of-capital-and-labor-back-to-us/

7. Will support our allies that Obama repudiated

8. Will end Obamacare

9. Will end “sanctuary cities” harboring illegal immigrant felons that Obama encouraged

10. Will rebuild our military Obama gutted
