TIME TO GET TOUGH: TRUMP’S BLOCKBUSTER POLICY MANIFESTO

Breitbart ^ | July 12,2015 | STEPHEN K. BANNON

[Hojczyk]

The Washington Establishment’s increasing angst and opposition to billionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump’s presidential candidacy is predicated on the notion that his highly-quotable catchphrases—“Take the oil!” or “Build a wall!”—lack substantive policy prescriptions to back them up. In short, the RINO caucus’ knock on Trump is that his solutions are unserious, unmeasured, quixotic.

Yet if the chattering class fears Trump’s recent surge in the polls, they will go into panic-filled paroxysms when they read Trump’s smart and serious bestseller, Time to Get Tough: Making America #1 Again.

Among Trump’s many bestselling, anecdote-filled books, Time to Get Tough (originally published in 2011) stands out as his most penetrating, serious, and detailed enunciation of his political philosophy and policy views. Trump says the it’s the “best book I’ve ever written” and is “better than The Art of the Deal.” Trump added, “It’s the hardest I’ve ever worked on a book. And it’s the most thought I’ve ever put into a book.”

It’s easy to see why. Backed up with nearly 250 endnotes, citing everything from Government Accountability Institute (GAO) reports to Sherman Antitrust Act amendments to the Theory of Moral Sentiments, Trump’s book clearly lays out serious policy solutions to vexing U.S. problems. Welfare reform, cyberwarfare, energy, illegal immigration and crime, taxes, healthcare, national defense—you name it, Trump offers his plans, often including specific bills and amendments. Best of all, Trump does it all in his refreshingly blunt and authentic voice—the very voice now resonating with a citizenry fed up with the Political Class and its conceits.

Detailed, innovative, and smart, Time to Get Tough rivals all other GOP presidential candidates’ books in both specificity and serious policy proposals. It’s a book to be read by conservatives and feared by Trump’s detractors.

I agree somewhat, Cruz is much smarter than Trump and he will let Trump run free because he knows the shine will wear off at some point and Cruz will be there as a solid alternative to the celebrity, meanwhile Trump is exposing the democrats, the republicans and the media, up until now Cruz has pretty much been doing it on his own, Cruz is in agreement with Trump on all he is saying now and soon clear lines of difference in beliefs will emerge and Cruz will be the one to capitalize.

I’ll think of it like this Trump is a vicious pit bull attack dog and Cruz is the master who will let his dog take on all opponents until the dog shows signs of turning on the master at which point he will put the dog down.

I think Cruz will profit the most from Trumps campaign, as hard as Trump pretends to be serious and is convincing many he is... IMO he is not, never has been and never will be.

if they can tell us to issue marriage license - then we can tell them to enforce ALL LAWS. No more free passes for illegal aliens.

Not at all, you stagnate if you stick with stuff that doesn’t work, Pragmatists judge things by whether or not they work. Libertarians don’t care whether or not it works because they BELIEVE that everything will be perfect if they can just force the other 93% by hook or crook to adopt their system.

[LibFreeUSA]

If Trump was smart, and if he’s really serious about becoming President, then he should make the book available online FOR FREE DOWNLOADING AND VIEWING - THRU HIS 2016 WEBSITE - , so ALL the voters can see what he says he stands for.

-- Congress is every bit to blame as much as ValJar and her puppet. --

MORE to blame, in my estimation. Congress has abandoned its duty and function.

[BlackAdderess]

There are libraries...

[Don Corleone]

The left, and that includes the large array of RINO's running for office are already wetting 'em on a regular basis. They are re-ordering their Depends at an unprecedented rate.

[grania]

I repeat myself. I thought Ted Cruz was the answer to our prayers with his magnificent 21 hours. I was one of the first small-donation contributors to his campaign.

The problem that set him back is that he dealt with the devil on the trade deal and got played. Now Obama has more power and Cruz gets the blame. So, let's let Trump have his four or eight years, and let Cruz have some time to turn the US Senate around, and from here on make deals that help our cause of saving the US.

[grania]

FWIW, there'd have to be a whole lot of housecleaning, both political parties, to remove everyone who isn't just as sold out to the banks as the Clintons are.

Trump or RandPaul might be the best two Republicans for having the knowledge and skill set to bring the banks back in line.

[bert]

well then I misunderstood your post. there are many that are in fact stagnatist.

it is pragmatism that has made America great

[LS]

No, I don't think he would govern like a conservative. I think he would govern like a Teddy Roosevelt, some good, some bad, but America first in all cases.

I attended a small group talk by Cruz. Ideologically, he's the best. But policy wise, he had a lot of (sound) solutions that will not fly with the public. Even he said "repeal and replace" Obamacare. Well, one of his pillars for replacing it was portability, same as Trump's. Another, though was HSAs. I got to speak privately with him afterwards and told him HSAs (even if a good policy) was a loser politically because a) people DON'T SAVE now---and you wNt them to save more, and b) the main advantage of HSAs are tax benefits. Well a large portion of Americans don't pay taxes.

"Not at all, you stagnate if you stick with stuff that doesn’t work"

So what "works?" Grandiose promises from a liberal with no specifics? (Sound familiar)?

[patriot08]

I don't give a damn what Trump has been or said or done in the past or 'what his game is'.
His changes of ever becoming president are miniscule, but at least he's out there NOW telling stupid, PC crippled Americans the truth; what Obama has done to America and that illegal aliens flooding across our open border are murdering and raping and bankrupting us.
NO Rino and Republican has the balls to get out there and tell the truth like Trump.

Trump or RandPaul might having the knowledge and skill set to bring banks back in line.

A big, big job.

GOV'T FRAUD AT ITS FINEST and Democratic votes to boot. He exposed the Clinton Foundation frauds in "Clinton Cash," but in his earlier book, "Extortion," author Peter Schweitzer writes about Obama and Eric Holder, using the Justice Dept and assorted govt agencies to extort Big Money ....threatening jailtime unless the targets fork over billions. Read on.

The Largest, Best Funded Voter Fraud Operation in US History Happening Before Your Eyes
Red Statements ^ | 3/12/2015 | Steven Ahle / FR Posted by HomerBohn

So you say you want a permanent democratic majority? But what about the massive amount of money that's needed?

Obama, and congressional democrats, along with a huge assist from Eric Holder add the shady ACORN into the mix by changing ACORN to "NeighborWorks America."

Both NeighborWorks America....and La Raza....provide the manpower.....and now have a huge funding source.

The DOJ has sued several banks and made settlements in which the banks have paid 24 billion in fines. One of the banks, CitiCorp was also ordered to pay $50 million to La Raza and NeighborWorks America as part of the settlement.

But wait, it doesn’t stop there. Another clause in the agreement makes it possible for La Raza and NeighborWorks America to rake in even larger amounts of money.

Of the remaining money the banks needed to pay in settlements, the banks were able to contribute additional money to La Raza and NeighborWorks America. For every dollar they contribute, it reduces their debt to the government by 2 dollars. That’s some mighty powerful incentive to give generously.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and House Financial Services Chairman Jeb Hensarling have questioned why this money was sent to the two organizations rather than to the alleged victims of the bank’s crime. The administration of course declined to answer.

--SNIP--

So now, with Social Security cards, manpower and tons of money to go along with the two years before the next presidential election, the largest and most successful voter fraud campaign may alter the course of the elections not to mention the future of the United States.

Within the first couple of months of Obama’s illegal immigration executive memos he signed on AF One, at least ninety thousand Social Security cards were issued to illegal aliens. Now Senators Ben Sasse and Jeff Sessions want answers on how many additional social security cards were issued. The answer is important because it will allow citizens to know just how much money taxpayers are spending on illegal aliens.

Social Security cards are keys of the kingdom to illegal aliens. With them, they are able to access a number of all sorts of benefits, including the Earned Income Tax Credit, Social Security disability payments or Social Security’s supplemental income program.

The senators also want to know how much in benefits these illegals have collected. The senators have yet to connect the dots in Obama’s real scheme. Let me help them out.

Social Security cards besides making illegals eligible for benefits, can have a more profound problem for the United States. The cards make it very easy for illegals to register to vote, even in states with voter ID laws.

One of the documents accepted for registering to vote is………….Social Security cards. But administration officials don’t dare instruct the illegals on how to vote and many might not trust them. The Washinton Times explains how easy it would be to add millions of new voters through the democrat’s illegal amnesty.

THE SCAM UP CLOSE So how do you get around this? Simple. You have the latino-centric America hating La Raza do it. Yes, La Raza actually teaches illegal immigrants where and how to register and vote. With the advent of so many illegals being able to vote and limited resources, La Raza couldn’t possibly handle the volume or afford to spend the kind of money necessary to facilitate such a huge undertaking.

With any of the other potential front runner candidates, the fundamental transformation continues as it is now or accelerates.

They're all insiders and an insider can't fix this mess they've made.

They're too invested in seeing things their way and have too many personal reasons to keep things as they are.

As it is, the game has already been lost since all of the current "opposition" players' strengths and positions have been stalemated.

Now it's all about running out the clock until the inevitable and everyone knows it whether they'll admit it or not.

TRUMP---America's a broken country—stripped of jobs, wealth, respect. Obama plays nice with China, a country destroying our economy...Obama refuses to stand up for America with Middle Eastern oil mobsters....and chucks billions in “stimulus” money to his friends and supporters while forcing taxpayers to foot the bill.

FORGET US NTL SECURITY---Everything Obama does has to be measured against the backdrop of his two foundations. Obama recently bragged that, “today, once again, the US is the most respected country on earth.”

<><> So it doesn’t matter Putin continues his invasion of Ukraine....

<><> Or that China knows it can continue grabbing key sea areas, building vast artificial islands on which to plant its flag (and weapons).

<><> Or that Bashar al-Assad is back to using chemical weapons, because Obama won't enforce his own “red line.”

<><> or that Iran is already breaking the “interim” US nuclear deal by building enriched-uranium stockpiles far larger than it promised.

<><> Iraq? In the same breath, Obama talks of how “we were able to end two wars."

=========================================

OBAMA HAS TWO CLINTONESQUE FOUNDATIONS (two that we know of)---w/ visions of million dollar honoraria, consultancies, and foundation donations dancing in his fool head.

Obama learned from the Clintons how to get a big payday for his two foundations: all you have to do is look on w/ approval even if countries invade and depopulate.....and never e-v-e-r utter a discouraging word e-v-e-r. Maybe even shake hands w/ foreign tyrants to get mining permits and million dollar honorariums as Clinton did in Kazakhstan.

Bill Clinton in Kazakhstan lavishly praising the
reigning dictator who signed off on the lucrative
uranium deal...b/c "he's just a nice guy."

================================

Obama puts on a convincing act---he "knows nothing."
Obama didn't even know about this (snix).

Circa 2010--Ex-Pres Clinton in Moscow having a laugh w/ Putin.
as strategic US uranium deposits were sold off to Russia for Big Bucks.

Do you actually believe:

<><>Obama was oblivious to the Clintons jerking around US foreign policy?

<><> Obama knew nothing of Hillary and Sid Blumenthal's emails WRT Iran (the man Obama banned from US govt employment)?

<><> Obama knew nothing about the Clinton Foundation/slush fund buck-raking activities?

<><> Obama never noticed Bill Clinton trotting around the globe?

<><> Obama never noticed the Clinton "charity" used to worm his way into the confidences of foreign leaders....
but only those leaders w/ untapped reserves of gold, uranium, oil, and other valuable commodities?

================================================

THE FACTS ARE THESE---WE, THE PEOPLE, NOTICED Hand-picked by Obama to run State, Hillary ran it like a shadow govt....w/ her husband taking notes WRT buck-raking opportunities available from Hillary's actions OR inaction.

Obama never noticed that Secy Hillary never e-v-e-r uttered a discouraging word e-v-e-r......as the Clinton Foundation sucked up hundred of millions of foreign dollars from shady characters. The avaricious Clintons devised hundreds of obscure programs to collect billions.....bragging about do-goodism, how the money was supposedly dispersed to "assist" endless charitable projects.

No question----Obama's protecting the Clintons---b/c they're his meal ticket. The Clintons deposit Obama's cut into his two (cough) "foundations." All of them are living happily ever after--getting rich on other people's misfortune

[aquila48]

They’re both “doers” - they get things done. Senators are more “thinkers”.

[BlackAdderess]

Well, I’m looking at his book and he notes that forcing companies that enter the Chinese marketplace to transfer their hard won, expensive, technology R & D over to China actually breaks international law. That’s pretty specific.

I’ll grant you my eyes are in no danger of glazing over reading this, it is a bit simplistic, you are right, but who do we have that is not barreling toward the New World Order fallacy? Rubio is deer-in-the-headlights, Bush needs a therapist, Walker picks horrible underlings and flip flops. I mean, I like Perry but not too many other people do. Cruz is either incompetent as a leader or disingenuous about his efforts to get things done, neither gets a yes vote from me.

Who else have we got?

[painter]

I saw the speech, it was powerful.

[skippyjonjones]

Perfect candidate? He is polling somewhere near tenth place right now against a weak field of losers.
