"The only one"? Nonsense there have been many out there warning about this for a few years now.
I thought you guys loved crony capitalists.
He’s the only one who has warned about China and the stock market bubble for many months.

“The only one”? Nonsense there have been many out there warning about this for a few years now.
Other candidates? Really? None that come to mind.
Name a few names of who you think the general public would think of, other than Trump, when it comes to the warning about China and the stock market bubble, for many months.
Who in the hell knows? You got an answer, lets hear it. What I am trying to say is there is no perfect solution and nothing immediate. It took King Obama years to destroy America to a point that it cannot recover easily and how? No human can give the answer, too complicated.
Nothing wrong with the stock market that a good strong turtle can’t fix.
If you already have, thank you.
This could work against Trump as far a libs are concerned. It’s only a matter of time, minutes actually, before some aspiring lib journalist accuses Trump of using his money and power to cause an economic crisis to get elected. tic, toc, tic, toc........
Trump hasn’t even touched TPA/TPP and NAFTA. So much left in the arsenal. Anybody associated with them is DOA in the general.
Abortion, gay marriage......not as important when you are about to lose life savings.
We don’t have to be forced to rank these when it comes to conservative principles. They all stand or fall together.
Nothing says conservative principles like Goldman Sachs Values. There is no ideal candidate in this race. Pick whatever candidate you wish just don’t think there is any perfect candidate.
That roller coaster is way too scary for me. But I wish those buying tickets for the ride, the best of luck.

There’s the issue right there.
You are comparing the market to a 90 second thrill ride.
It’s not that. It’s a long term thing, where you balance out the highs and lows over time. The proverbial marathon, not a sprint.
Abortion and Gay Marriage are both legal in America now! I suggest you do not enter into either if they are currently against your morals and this goes for all of you here thinking any newly elected president or congress can change that. The best thing to do is to elect those who can make the lives of legal American citizens better and safer at this point!
QE and stimulus?
Sure. You want to help the economy and the market, do the following things:
1. Eliminate all corporate taxes. Corporate taxes are a lie. No corporation actually pays taxes - they are a cost that is passed on to the consumer. Replace corporate taxes and income taxes with a national sales tax. Every dollar you earn is yours until you decide to spend it. This inspires companies to move more operations onshore.
2. Create policies for illegal immigrants to self-deport. Make all government handouts NOT available to illegal immigrants, including healthcare, EDUCATION FOR MINORS (they are not allowed in our schools!), and food stamps. Make it illegal for property owners to rent to illegal aliens, as they would be aiding and abetting their stay in this country. Make the penalties for employing illegal aliens particularly onerous. Widen eVerify to all landlords and employers. Deport any illegal alien identified, no questions asked. If they have an “anchor baby” who cannot be supported without the illegal parents, then the anchor baby is sent with them until such time that the child is old enough to come this country on their own (since they already have citizenship under the current law). With no jobs, place to live, services, handouts, and the real risk of being forcibly deported illegals will stream out of this country in the same way they came in - they’ll go walk across the border.
3. Limit welfare to our citizens so that is no longer more profitable to NOT work. Get rid of EBT cards. Make people needing food assistance go stand in line at a distribution center. There should be shame and inconvenience enough that they WANT to get off the system. The goal is to inspire our laborforce participation rate upwards, especially by taking all the jobs vacated by illegals.
4. Kill Obamacare. It’s a financial drain on every company and individual.
5. Tort reform so that lawsuits and legal costs don’t unnecessarily stunt business activity.
6. Kill Sarbanes Oxley. Like, now. It’s only a drain on businesses.
7. Eliminate the federal ownership of the West. Put that land back into the hands of the states and individuals who will use it productively.
8. Kill all needless “green” spending.
9. Force the government to perform a zero baseline budget every year after a census. Post the results online and watch all the waste get sniffed out.
10. Stop subsidizing college. Not everyone needs a college degree and it actually hurts the economy through needless wage compression. This will revitalize trade skills and a healthy blue collar class, strengthening American manufacturing.
There’s 10 ideas, all of which would strengthen our economy and market. I could get unto other onerous regulations, but we’ll just start here.
See post 78 for some real ideas. ;-)
Some candidates are more perfect than others. Otherwise, debate is useless (as is voting.)
