With poll after poll saying the economy is the most important issue in the presidential election, the candidate who connects with voters on this subject has a good chance of winning it all.
Donald Trump’s and Hillary Clinton’s economic plans offer a clear choice. Trump seeks to revive American greatness with policies aimed at kick-starting economic growth. Clinton seeks fairness and more benefits for the middle and working classes.

a Clinton operation
At least they matched the order of the candidate (Clinton vs. Trump) with the preferences implicit in the plans (state vs. private sector).
Unfortunately, this generation of voters is the least informed and qualified of any generation so far to vote. They know nothing about civics, how our gov’t works, or the Constitution. They do know all about MTV and cell phones though. And to think we are giving the country to these blithering idiots that think money will rain from heaven!
