Trump just suggested assasination

[shiftedShapes]

it's illegal to bet on the election in the states. 

You just dodged my question, a tacit admission that your belief in your conspiracy theory is false.


Obviously your real motivation os to discourage people from voting Trump.  I don’t think your conspiracy rhetoric is an especially effective argument.  Do you just get paid by number of posts?  It may be that you are actually working at cross purposes to CTR, they are wasting 50 cents a post!  Quite a lot given your spamming in this thread!

"Aww come on.  Let us make shoddy crap overseas and sell it here so's we can post record profits while you peons deliver pizzas to each other.  We got a duty to our shareholders.  And our bonuses.  Besides, everybody's doin' it. 
Birds do it. 
Bees do it. 
Even itty bitty fleas do it. 
Lets do it. 
Lets sack everyone and move the registered office to a tax haven and manufacturing to China."

l-m-a-o

True.

Trump said we will have a 30% on all Mexican imports.

Do you like this idea?

If that is what it takes to get them in line, yes.

Don't pretend your gripe is globalism, everyone knows NAFTA is a huge failure as would be TPP.

No, your gripe is group identity politics being ended.  Same as fogarty.

Does everything represent a penis to you? I know, it's just a joke. But maybe you should think about this.

As soon as you learn the difference between "poles" and "polls".😉

MEX exports over 300 bil worth of products to the USA each year.


The top export categories (2-digit HS) in 2015 were: machinery ($42 billion), electrical machinery ($41 billion), vehicles ($22 billion), mineral fuels ($19 billion), and plastics ($17 billion).

What do you think happens to US industry when the price of these items all goes up 30%?

It stops sending dollars to Mexico.

we need those things.   if there's a 30% increase in the cost, that will seriously hurt a lot of US firms. 

The price will go up no matter what - even if it's manufactured here instead (trump's supposed goal), because MEX labor is 10 times cheaper than ours.

If you have US workers building plastics or machinery, the price of these things will STILL go up, at LEAST 30%, and probably more.  Labor is just too expensive here. 

The solution would be for Trump to invest in EDUCATION!!!!   Programming, innovation, medical advances, nano, new energies... He's thinking some 1950s bullshit here.  Sad but true.  I'd love to see US factories pumping... but that ship has sailed.

Imo if we're at the mercy of foreign goods then that's a problem.  A diversified and self sustaining economy would give us a stronger bargaining position overseas and a healthier situation at home.  Continuing down the current path, when things have been getting worse for quite some time, and with the polarization of wealth accelerating, makes no sense to me.

I don't think slamming it into the 30% tariff gear and dumping the economic clutch is a good call either but I'd like to see moderate duties instituted which wouldn't jolt the whole enchilada into your lap.  Just their establishment and the understanding that they can and might be raised later would add a whole new column for the number crunchers who keep coming to the conclusion that they don't want to employ Americans who buy their products.

the "golden age" of capitalism followed the implementation of the "new deal"

If you're seeking an example of what actually works.

also if you want to know what specifically changed it's the neo-liberal policies that killed the growth.

that's what allowed the manufacturing sector to be sent to asia

Rubio Stands By Claim That Trump Is A 'Con Man', Still Supports Him

In the final weeks of his 2016 presidential run, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) threw every insult in the book at Donald Trump, calling him a litigious, “orange” “con man.” The Florida senator said Monday that he will not retract those comments, even though he is now supporting Trump’s campaign.

“I’ve stood by everything I ever said in my campaign,” Rubio told the Miami Herald editorial board in a meeting when asked about the "con man" remark.

Rubio, who is running for reelection after insisting that he would become a “private citizen” next year, claimed that Trump’s candidacy helped convince him he needed to remain on Capitol Hill.

“We’re in a different place now. Now we have a binary choice — not a choice between 15 people or 12 people,” he told the Herald staff. “There are two people in the world that are going to be the next president, either Donald or Hillary. In our republic, while the presidency is powerful, there is a balance of power in this country, and a significant amount of it resides in the United States Senate. It’s one of the reasons why I seek to run again.”

Little Marco!!! He's the one who "short circuited"

Morning Joe: "There is no Trump Campaign..."


No field operation

No communications plan

No advertising program

Just Trump making it up as he goes along.

IOW - there's no point discussing which States he could target to change the current trends, because there isn't a campaign operation to do it.

Krugamn says the reason the GOP can't drop him is because trump has indicated he will reduce taxes on the super rich.

Repubs are in for a surprise. 

U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Sunday he is open to raising taxes on wealthy Americans, backing off his prior proposal to reduce taxes on all Americans.

“I am willing to pay more, and you know what, the wealthy are willing to pay more,” Trump told ABC’s This Week.

“The middle class has to be protected,” Trump told NBC. “The rich is probably going to end up paying more.”

Total Primary Votes:

Much higher percentages of registered voters vote in the general than in the primary.
Trump won while often only getting 30-35% of the republican vote
Most Sanders voters will be voting for Clinton.  Not true on the republican side.  Very few Cruz voters will support Trump.  Many republican voters will either sit out the general, vote libertarian, or hold their nose and vote for Clinton.

There are 5.0 to 5.5 million registered voters in Virginia.  1.025 million voted in the Republican Primary, .785 million in the Democratic.  That is 1 in 3 registered voters voted in the primaries. Many more registered voters who did not vote in the primary will be voting in the general.  And in the primary, Trump only got 356k.  That means only 7% of registered voters were big enough Trump supporters to go out and vote for him in the primary.

the good thing is the "special" polls prevent any deviation from what's not working

Remember how in 2012, they claimed all the polls were skewed?  Everyone (except rassmussen) had obama winning easily.  All we heard on getbig was just how wrong the polls were.
