You're right...anyone would have been better than Trump. maybe we can still get Hillary?
Hillary Clinton was the most corrupt individual to have ever received the nomination of a major political party.
Trump was the only person running that could have beat her.
I voted for him.

Pretty hilarious the media knew all they had to do was indirectly threaten his manhood (by telling him his crowds were small 
) for him to absolutely lose it.

Not true. Name a currency since WWII that has been as safe as the US dollar. Oh it changes in value but it doesn't collapse. Not even the pound has been as safe as the dollar. (One may say the Swiss Franc--LSURussian would be the person best qualified to opine on this.)

1) government purchasing of prescription drugs---he said last week the government should be more active in negotiating drug prices for medicare and medicaid. I disagree. It is the government purchasing of these drugs that have driven the prices up over the years. The changes need to be FAR more extreme for the good of us all. The government should get out of the direct purchasing of healthcare and should instead simply subsidize the purchase of healthcare by individuals. Voucher if you will. It works for the GI bill. It works albeit too much for food stamps. It will work for healthcare. (Imagine what food would cost if the government bought half of it for us.)
I agree.
When government picks winners and losers, the loser is the american consumer.

2) Trade--I hope I am wrong here. I remember Ron Paul missives on NAFTA and he is exactly right--NAFTA is not free trade. Trump has talked a lot about tariffs and NAFTA. If his goal is lower tariffs and the end of NAFTA I am all for it. But if his goal is to simply prop up inefficient US companies I am not for it. We should reduce regulation and taxes so that our companies are more competitive and to the end that Trump is for that so am I for Trump.
I agree. I'm for free trade but we have make sure those trade deals are slanted in our favor and we get the most value out of them.
I don't want trade wars though.
quote:
3) Immigration--I am ok with building the wall and enforcing current law BUT I am not for limiting immigration. I am for unlimited legal immigration. I am for outlawing welfare for non citizens. We should know who is here and we should require them to be properly insured and paying taxes. If legal immigration say you have to have a job and you have to care for yourself by having health insurance and buying your own food and housing then I am all for unlimited immigration.
I disagree a bit actually.
We're facing a demographics crisis unlike anything we've ever seen in American history and we have to get it under control.
There's a reason why brown people don't like small government and fiscal conservatism. We have to stop them from immigrating here in droves.
I'm in favor of lots and lots of white europeans and asians immigrating here in droves though.

And any human should be against building a wall across an entire countries border.
That's funny considering how nearly ever country on Earth has one, is building one right now, or in the planning stages.
We're even paying other countries to build their walls.

Did you read my caveats? Caveats I say would not be necessary if we did not have welfare.
Why would anyone be against someone coming here who has a job, who is paying taxes, who is insured and who will not be on welfare?
What is conservative about opposing working people?

The walls around the world are an indication of a sickness.
Any Mexico border wall discussion should include trade policies and drug laws.

I said something, the burden is on you to counter it.
We essentially force nations to buy/sell oil in US Dollars.
Our military foothold is an important part of making that possible.

What, exactly, are you 'conserving' in a nation when you bring in tens of millions of people with no affinity for the history, customs and traditions of those who founded said nation?

I'm afraid your seeing wrongly.
I am for unlimited legal immigration.

How is legal being unlimited wrong?
In other words our reps can set legal #'s of legal immigrants for every year. Thats what I am 100% for.

In what way??
In what currency since WWII would you think oil exporters would have preferred?
Frankly we would probably be better off if 50 years ago if some international currency--gold perhaps--had been declared the legal tender of international trade. That would have made Congress tighten it's belt because the demand for our debt would be so much smaller.

More like a desire to protect their own demographics from undesirables and people who do not fit their culture.

Agreed.
The War on Drugs is a national security issue and a drive of out of control immigration.
The better that Mexico does with their economy, the less people that will come here.
