Under a President Donald Trump, the Republican Party would become a different one, a broad, populist coalition focused on workers who have gone too long without a raise and on social programs the party establishment has long seen as anathema to its long-term success.
Love the question, Trump said in response to a question from Bloomberg Businessweek's Joshua Green in a profile of Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus published Thursday. The article bears the headline, "How to Get Trump Elected When Hes Wrecking Everything You Built."
Five, 10 years from now different party. Youre going to have a workers party," Trump said in the May 17 interview. "A party of people that havent had a real wage increase in 18 years, that are angry." Trump reiterated that cutting Social Security would be a "big mistake" for the GOP, remarking that "[c]utting it the wrong way is a big mistake, and even cutting it [at all]."

Despite having issued numerous threats to the party about what he suggested would be a "steal" of his nomination, Trump praised the RNC chairman profusely. "I call Reince Mr. Switzerland, Trump said. Hes doing a great job as peacemaker.

It goes back. It happened for my mother. They sucked it right back out of her bank account. That alarmed me.

Trump’s approach to entitlements is to GROW OUR ECONOMY to the point where we can afford them at present levels.
Given the TREMENDOUS UPSIDE possible if government would simply get off the backs of business (as Reagan used to say), I’d agree with Trump that there’s merit to it. Get people working, producing real stuff, with American ingenuity and technology and he may well pull it off.
Da, comrade. Da.
of course i’m a cube guy so i didn’t think of that.
My wife’s pop worked even with diabetes till 70 but just barely.

be all driverless in 10 years anyway. ya think? i can’t keep up with that
Surely you’re not talking about Trump. I watched his whole energy speech today (and the press conference before it), and he said nothing of the sort. He wants to get the government out of the way so that oil and other companies can extract our natural resources and make us richer and fully energy independent from the Middle East, which he sees as a national security as well as an economic issue. He especially hates all the unnecessary government regulations that are hampering the energy industry. He thinks the government needs to step back and let market forces take their course. It sounds to me like you have quite an imagination, if you were actually talking about Trump...
Don’t cut it. Make it better.
