He spoke about Jobs. He spoke about lowering Taxes to entice companies back and to the US. He spoke of our FAILING infrastructure, look around we are falling apart. Look at the closed store fronts, look at the closed businesses. She is going to invest money. Whose money? Hers? or yours or mine.
Trickle down. BS. We need booming factories, booming housing market, booming infrastructure and money flowing in all directions. This will promote growth that this country has not seen for many many years. He spoke about the millions of jobs this will create. I could care less of how poised she looked or how well she handled herself. I didn’t need her to fall down
Trump won by default as he was the challenger. He may not have won one single vote but then he might have won thousands.
Time will tell. I like his attitude. He has an opinion and he can back it up. She cannot.
I really wanted him to mention that when a Democrat says “invest,” it means tax and spend. But that’s something you more likely pick up as a trigger word when you’re a real aficionado of the conservative movement.
“He spoke about lowering Taxes to entice companies back and to the US.”
Look, I am with you, but HE DID NOT MAKE THAT CONNECTION!!
I found that agonizingly inarticulate to the point of being driven batty. Yes, he spoke of lowering taxes for businesses. He said he would create jobs. (Big deal, they all do) But he did NOT say that businesses would find that lowered-tax environment sufficiently attractive to repatriate what they have taken offshore and the result would be new manufacturing in the US and that jobs would result.
Because he did not make that connection, he additionally fell partial victim to HRC’s anti-trickle-down blather which she was able to blame the 2008 finan debacle on when 2008 had not the slightest whit of anything to do with “trickle-down”. NOTHING.
By not being articulate about this stuff, he allows the meaningless blather of the left to win.
This is the consistent failure of Republicans, they can not connect the dots in the minds of the voters. It is rare enough to get them to state the principles but they skip over the linkage(s). They always omit that critical connective tissue! Always! And that is a fatal flaw they do over and over. You cannot expect people to make those leaps with you just because you happen to see or believe in them. It is a failure in narrative control and it has now cost Republicans 2 elections.
They want to reduce welfare and various entitlements for example, but because they do not make that connection as to the enslavement of those who get ensnared in it, the impression that is left in the minds of the voters who do not make the connections is that they are just mean miserly people who want to take stuff away who HAVE IT RIGHT NOW and who eat it and depend on it. THAT is why it is so ineffective to advance principled but disconnected arguments.
They want to build up the military as a show of strength, but they do not adequately explain how the strength is to be used as a deterrent, they appear warmongering.
They simply and consistently omit those intermediate explanatory steps and consistently lose out to freebie-promising libs and I’m certain we are both sick of it.
