Despair isn’t a winning strategy.

True enough.

This list is fantastic, and I'd call any one of its bullet points "An Excellent Start".

Sadly, so many on FR are of the mindset that if they can't have the entire enchilada, then they don't want any of it.

I'll take 67% of something that I want, over 0%, every day of the week.

Sounds nice, rah-rah. Add a few more, like BATFE.
But I will bet that 8 years from now, all of these agencies will still be around, with bigger budgets, more employees and more power than they have today.

[Salvation]

Sounds good. Especially shutting down education.

[OKSooner]

I'd believe you if you said millions just here in my hometown.

Good point, along with "it's a good start".

Great!

[Basket_of_Deplorables]

Great!

Thank you for referencing that article Isara. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

I hope patriots understand that neither Trump, Cruz or anybody of the other Republican candidates are going to get a free ticket to do all the things that they are wanting to do if elected president. In fact, some of the things that the Republican candidates are proposing are arguably similar to incumbent RINOs ”promising” patriots that they would repeal Obamacare in order to be reelected in 2014, a promise that they undoubtedly knew that they could not keep.

Patriots also need to understand that they also need to elect a Congress that will support Trump or Cruz as president. And the problem remains that the Constitution at least needs to be amended to grant the feds some of the things that they have been doing without the constitutional authority to do so.

What good is a humming economy when jihadists are pouring in across our borders as they do in Europe? Islam will stifle any progress in our country. There is no greater evil than Islam in all the world.

You do know this was an ECONOMIC debate right?

[Rapscallion]

It’s a good list, for the first week in office. Then what?

For the rest send all the employees out to the parking lot to await instructions to return. If you have not been re-called by the third day, go look for a real job.

There won’t be ANY economy if the bearded barbarians take over. Sheesh America, you are soooooooooo gullible.

I mean... Have you actually been paying attention? With the exception of very few candidates, illegal immigration is THE TOP priority of the candidates...

You won’t have a “humming” economy without an effective and strong immigration policy which is spear-headed by ENFORECEMENT!

[Shugee]

Not quite true. Rubio said the following to Rand Paul when Paul decried the expense of the military...

Rubio: We can’t even have an economy if we’re not safe. There are radical jihadists in the Middle East beheading people and crucifying Christians. The Chinese are taking over the South China Sea. Yes, I believe the world is a safer - no, I don’t believe, I know - the world is a safer and better place when America is the strongest military power in the world.
