As politically incorrect as Trump is, the establishment prefers him over Cruz because they know Cruz will cut spending and special interest subsidies. Trump is a big government crony capitalist who has never indicated any willingness to cut spending or get the debt under control. He won’t do anything of substance to threaten the rivers of tax-payer money that the Washington establishment lives off of.
Trump’s plan is to get America working again so the tax base expands so we can sustain reasonable spending levels.
Maybe you can answer the question I have been asking for about six months. It gets tedious, even for me.
Why did Cruz vote for TPA, after helping Ryan, that consistent conservative, roll it out and get it established? Why did Cruz vote for the Corker amendment and then proceed to campaign against it?
Both votes advanced the Obama agenda.
My thinking is that Cruz was signaling donors that he can play ball, and I think it paid off for him. I noticed Mark Levin, when I use to listen to him, carefully avoided mentioning these two votes; likewise Rush.
Do you have any idea just how stupid the above is? Here is just one example of Trump getting things done within budget.
Wollman Rink From Wiki
The rink was closed in 1980 for an announced 2 1/2 years of renovations. When the problem-plagued work was not completed by the city by 1986, Donald Trump persuaded Mayor Ed Koch to let him complete the work and he completed the renovations in three months to have it open by the end of the year. Koch initially objected to Trump's proposal when Trump offered to pay for the renovations himself with the stipulation that he be allowed to run the venue and an adjacent restaurant and use the profits to recoup his costs. Public pressure prompted Mayor Koch to reverse his position.
So Trump did in 3 months what NYC had spent 6 years trying to do and he did it with his own money! Trump likes to point out that his campaign is currently 30 million under budget.
