Most of his supporters are the working class and liberals are attacking his supporters.

What do you guys not like about the working class?

Have you actually looked at his tax/economic plan? It's just Bush Policy/Trickle down nonsense on HGH.

The Great Recession would look like a vacation compared to what would happen if this emotional buffoon were given the reigns. Fred WarTrumps isn't around to bail him out any more.

Trump got the working class support by being racist, not by looking out for their economical interests.

This. He promises to keep the scary Brown people out of America and to ban Islam... Things he would never be able to do in a million years... All so he can save some serious points on his personal and business taxes.

So what if the economy is dragged into another Great Depression? His tens of millions saved in tax dues is going to the Cayman Islands. :banana:

"The working class" well if you make the description of your base that broad... Why are you so upset that Men and Women support Bernie?

Bernie is ok IMO.




Bernie is the #2 contender behind Trump. If Bernie wins I'm not even mad, he's intelligent +he sounds and looks like Larry David who is my favorite comedian.


Besides Webb who is IMO the best candidate, but realistically is not going to be a legit contender this year.

Dems are really stupid for not rallying behind Webb. He's a guy who can easily get a lot of Republican voters, and like Trump he appeals to people who are fed up with corrupt political bureaucracy. He is a perfect candidate who can get voters from all walks of life. And he's shown he's not afraid to speak out against bullshit, like when Anderson Cooper tried to rig the debate in Hillary and Bernie's favor.

Webb was my preferred candidate as well, but not exactly an option anymore

It's only people on the left who keep bringing up this topic of "brown people". Nobody on the right has every brought "brown people" up.

He doesn't want to ban Islam. I think he wants to ban Muslims from immigrating to America temporarily until they get a good vetting system in check.


Look at what's happening to Europe right now. It would be foolish to ignore their mistakes and simply not do anything to address the situation, for fear of being called Islamophobic.

I personally don't believe that Trump would be able to do anything to the Muslims, considering it violates the constitution. So it's mostly just him saying shit to generate a buzz and get people like you and me talking about him.


The elections are all about Trump right now. His marketing and campaign strategy is working.

What is Donald Trumps economic policy?

Depression, chico. Depression.

His immigration policy:


A 2015 study by the American Action Forum, a conservative pro-immigration group, estimates the federal government would have to spend roughly $400 billion to $600 billion to deport 11.3 million undocumented immigrants and prevent future unlawful entry into the U.S. over a 20 year time period.

In order to implement the plan, the study says, each immigrant would have to be apprehended, detained, legally processed, and transported to his or her home country.

Mass deportation will burden the economy, the report goes on. Removing all undocumented immigrants would cause the labor force to shrink by 6.4%. As a result, 20 years from now the economy would be nearly 6% or $1.6 trillion smaller than it would be if the immigrants are allowed to stay.

While this impact would be found throughout the economy, the agriculture, construction, retail and hospitality sectors would be especially strongly affected, the report indicates.

All his other bullshit:

[INDENT]Economists savage Trump's economic agenda
Raising tariffs and deporting millions of people will drive up prices and cause recession, experts assert.

Many economists say Donald Trump

Lowering taxes. Just look at your paycheck for those of you mooks who have a job on this site. We're getting raped.

Trump doesn't really have an economic policy in the traditional sense - his "tax plan" is a joke and you'd better believe in it he's in on it (which in a way, makes him more reasonable than some of the other candidates who actually take it seriously)

But he does have economic instincts, those of a street hustler. There's a gangster undercurrent to his worldview which is both worrying and almost refreshing.

To the extent that I can imagine a Trump economic policy, it probably looks like this:

He's on record wanting to steal Iraq's oil, and the rest of his foreign policy is similarly about zero sum economics, especially the idea that if America is to be the policeman of the world, allies should pay protection money.

On trade, he'd threaten to back out of NAFTA so Mexico would pay for his wall. I can also imagine him threatening China militarily so that they change their monetary policy.

He'd be counseled by some of his richest friends (like Carl Icahn) and would have them to negotiate on behalf of the United States. They would personally make huge profits from those deals as the average American would suffer.

Another deal you can typically expect from a Trump-like leader is a rise in the minimum wage in exchange for anti-union legislation.

So overall, a kind of kleptocracy draped in gentle paternalism - essentially a milder form of the sort of policies you see in developing countries. It could be surprisingly effective in the short term, but also ruinous in the longer term.
