You know, I thought his speech last night actually sounded human, for once, not the Super Trump we usually hear. He was gracious and warm.

Weird :)

It is clear you’ve been reading a lot of opposition research provided on the internet.

I will not contact you again and don’t contact me again.

“Almost up to 6 million followers now.”

Because people like to see the stupid things that Trumps says! Most of his followers are fakes just like the Obamas.

Don doesn’t have the cash on hand to run a full campaign. Not even close. Almost all of his net worth is tied up in real estate that can’t easily be liquidated. And I can’t believe he would mortgage his fortune for a campaign that he could lose.

Anyway, if he’s really going to run in the general election, it’s a sure bet that he will need bow-coo donations, up to one billion.

Therefore, the tweet might be the opening gambit in an attempt to get his supporters disabused of the notion that he can self-fund for the duration. Maybe he thinks he needs to break the news gradually, so as not to disappoint his most avid followers.

>> It cost her nothing to “give away new cars.” <<

And didn’t she also burden the recipients with some big income tax bills? If I remember correctly, many of them found it would cost them too much to accept the cars.

“Apparently he doesn’t take rejection well.”

Thank goodness twitter wasn’t around when I was in High School.

Yep, tell someone you are giving them something for free and then stick them with a bill.

Classic liberals.

oy. the not worth it refers to the beginning part of the sentence. Self funding is not worth NOT GETTING CREDIT FOR IT FROM THE VOTERS.

So keep telling him he is wonderful for not being bought, and for being wonderful for having bought politicians in the past.

Getting the credit for self-funding is not worth it, but he will continue doing it.

I saw that a few days ago. He has narcissistic characteristics, no doubt. As did Cinton. As does Obama.
Should it matter—yes
Does it matter—no :(

I tried that reading thing you mentioned and I only found 5 positions at your link. He doesn’t mention Islamic terrorism or any foreign policy beyond China. The job is bigger than that... much bigger. Just because he says what you want to hear on these 5 issues doesn’t automatically translate to faithful adherence to the Constitution in all areas. He hasn’t shown himself to be much of a rules person when they are in his way.

Please keep reading. Rome was not built in a day(I grew up in Rome, so I know).

Put American Workers First

Additionally, we need to stop giving legal immigrant visas to people bent on causing us harm. From the 9/11 hijackers, to the Boston Bombers, and many others, our immigration system is being used to attack us. The President of the immigration caseworkers union declared in a statement on ISIS: "We've become the visa clearinghouse for the world."

Here are some additional specific policy proposals for long-term reform:

Requirement to hire American workers first. Too many visas, like the H-1B, have no such requirement. In the year 2015, with 92 million Americans outside the workforce and incomes collapsing, we need companies to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed. Petitions for workers should be mailed to the unemployment office, not USCIS.

End welfare abuse. Applicants for entry to the United States should be required to certify that they can pay for their own housing, healthcare and other needs before coming to the U.S.

Jobs program for inner city youth. The J-1 visa jobs program for foreign youth will be terminated and replaced with a resume bank for inner city youth provided to all corporate subscribers to the J-1 visa program.

Immigration moderation. Before any new green cards are issued to foreign workers abroad, there will be a pause where employers will have to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed immigrant and native workers. This will help reverse women's plummeting workplace participation rate, grow wages, and allow record immigration levels to subside to more moderate historical averages.

Requirement to hire American workers first. Too many visas, like the H-1B, have no such requirement. In the year 2015, with 92 million Americans outside the workforce and incomes collapsing, we need companies to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed. Petitions for workers should be mailed to the unemployment office, not USCIS.

At the link he has provided .pdf files for further study. He has stated he will deliver more white papers or policy positions as they are prepared.

I agree, but Clinton and Obama, as much as I dislike them, were somewhat tactful in dealing with most people and the public. Trump has no regard for anyone’s feelings. It’s his way or else. There is no compromising. He lies publicly to suit his own agenda.

At first I laughed at him. Now I’m not so sure if it’s funny anymore. He’s crude and rude. It’s scary. When other countries talk about the ugly American, he’s the ugly American.

I read several articles to see that he appeals to the uneducated. I can believe that.
