Of course they are, Trump is a once in a generation candidate. They're just now realizing this.
Not really.
Huge difference in falling in line because Trump is your only choice now and being a super lap dog like Christie was.
Did you see any rallies where he was? He was literally following Trump movements like he was hypnotize with wide eyes and mouth open. :lmao

Undeniable.
I hope he wins and can put the country back on track economically - kinda like he ran his campaign financially - a lean, mean machine.
There are still hold outs to the NeverTrump. Bill Cristol is still trying to get a third party candidate, and Glenn Beck will never vote for Trump.
... because you don't know that (Repug) House does the budgeting, and Repug Congress is intent on weakening, fucking up govt with budget-cutting, with austerity, no-trickle-down tax cuts for BigCorp/1%, which retards the economy, not stimulates the economy.Quote:

Trump's budget is heavy on tax cuts for BigCorp and 1% (himself), causing $10T deficit in 10 years. Exactly like Ryan's multiply-approved budget.
Of course, Trump's people said, effectively, nothing Trump says in the campaign counts for, indicates anything. Trump will make up everything after he's elected.
Trump is just another Repug who is more blatant (hate, racism, xenophobia, American supremacy), more expert in suckering and conning you simpletons.
It always cracks me up when Bookaki calls everyone else a simpleton.
Endorsing the candidate and publicly decrying you will vote to him as well as recruiting more votes for him is basically sucking him off.Quote:

This is what I want him to do: work with Congress to lower the corporate tax rate (and close the loopholes) so that corporations will come back here instead of setting up shop in Canada, Ireland or any of the other countries that have a lower rate than we do. I want an amnesty period where they charge a very low rate to bring back the trillions of dollars parked abroad with the understanding that it'll be invested here and create jobs. I want them to rescind every Obama executive action that restricts and burdens (especially small) businesses including Obamacare. I want them to strictly enforce e-verify - huge fines for hiring illegals - make it so no one will want to come here for jobs (then no need to build a wall). I want him to stop the H1-B visas - hire or re-train Americans. See if they can re-negotiate trade deals to be more fair to Americans.
It's a wish list - lucky if only a couple get through. Go ahead - blast away.
Obamacare isn't an executive order -- it's the law, a law passed by congress. Besides, it already has exemptions for small business that are actually small.
I know, DMX7, I just added it at the end - okay, repeal ACA.Quote:

And don't waste political capital on social issues - forget about abortion, gay marriage and transgenders in bathrooms.

Remember the big fuss Ted Cruz tried to make of it before he promptly got crushed in Indiana? :lolQuote:

Instead, I couldn't as I wanted because I didn't know when or if he'd get another job (in his 50s and in the tech field). JOBS, JOBS, JOBS - after we can pay our mortgage and put food on the table, then we can argue all you want about xenophobia, American supremacy, transgender bathrooms, etc. And Trump is for more taxes (not tax cuts) at his level.Quote:

Something like "the wall" REALLY resonates with GOP primary voters because it both discriminates against Mexicans and also is perceived as protecting America's economy (even if it really doesn't) -- it's like a two for one!Quote:

And most of it was probably earned legitimately. Bill's time in office is perceived by the general public as largely successful, and the celebrity factor, in and of itself, can make one a lot of money. All those book royalties, speaking fees, etc. add up... that and the investments of course.Quote:
