Thats funny because I just flipped to CNN to check if they were reporting on it and all I saw was Anderson Cooper interviewing a dem cuck going on about how the GOP has no platform and they don't know what they are going to do and oh Kelly Ann Conway left cuz she hates trump and so does her daughter and his sister says he is orange man bad.

I agree and this is a good platform. I'm just wondering what his "elevator pitch" will be. He needs to be able to hammer one or two sentences. That's what worked last time.

Cut Taxes to Boost Take-Home Pay and Keep Jobs in America (double speak for more handouts to corporations)
Expand Opportunity Zones (double speak for corporate tax reduction)
Continue Deregulatory Agenda for Energy Independence (double speak for destroying corporate oversight)
Make All Critical Medicines and Supplies for Healthcare Workers in The United States (sounds like Nationalization of business sector, or alternatively simple double speak for corporate tax handouts)
Tax Credits for Companies that Bring Back Jobs from China (double speak for corporate handouts)
Allow 100% Expensing Deductions for Essential Industries like Pharmaceuticals and Robotics who Bring Back their Manufacturing to the United States (double speak for corporate handouts)
Hold China Fully Accountable for Allowing the Virus to Spread around the World (without proof of who actually designed the virus, stupid)
Provide School Choice to Every Child in America (double speak for corporate handouts)
Teach American Exceptionalism (Propaganda is disgusting)
Fully Fund and Hire More Police and Law Enforcement Officers (the police are over-funded and abusive to the public)
Increase Criminal Penalties for Assaults on Law Enforcement Officers (assault is assault, thought you guys didn't like "hate crime" type laws?)
Prosecute Drive-By Shootings as Acts of Domestic Terrorism (very slippery slope, States can handle their own domestic issues without interference from the Feds)
Bring Violent Extremist Groups Like ANTIFA to Justice (Freedom of Association is a fundamental right, calling a group violent without evidence is a gross over-reach by the Federal Government and should be rejected on principle)
End Cashless Bail and Keep Dangerous Criminals Locked Up until Trial (fundamental misunderstanding of Cashless bail, a system that is misused to imprison the nation's poor)
End Sanctuary Cities to Restore our Neighborhoods and
Require New Immigrants to Be Able to Support Themselves Financially (tired and huddled masses are welcome, Local and State Government's 10th Amendment Rights protect from this type of Federal interference, remember your rebel spirit)
Establish Permanent Manned Presence on The Moon (treaties dictate that the moon is for all peoples on Earth, not just the U.S.)
Establish a National High-Speed Wireless Internet Network (is this a Nationalist system like the Highway system?)
Continue to Lead the World in Access to the Cleanest Drinking Water and Cleanest Air (double speak for corporate handouts, our water and air are being destroyed as the EPA is being dismantled)

Maintain and Expand America’s Unrivaled Military Strength (REDUCE THE MILITARY, no wars and our allies paying their fair share? REDUCE THE MILITARY size and budget)
Wipe Out Global Terrorists Who Threaten to Harm Americans (threats are not actions, slippery slope on who gets labeled a terrorist, we are not world police)
Build a Great Cybersecurity Defense System and Missile Defense System (No to Star Wars 2.0)

Honing in on the Healthcare stuff, there doesn't appear to be much there, there.
quote:

Cut Prescription Drug Prices - WHERE IS THE PLAN TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL?
Put Patients and Doctors Back in Charge of our Healthcare System - WHAT DOES THIS EVEN MEAN? THIS IS EITHER MEANINGLESS OR AN INVITATION FOR OVER-UTILIZATION
Lower Healthcare Insurance Premiums - GOOD LUCK WITH THAT IN PARTICULAR IF YOU'RE LETTING DOCS & PATIENTS HAVE THE RUN OF THE PLACE. ALSO, WHERE IS THE PLAN TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL. THIS WAS PROMISED A MONTH AGO.
End Surprise Billing - THIS YOU CAN THEORETICALLY DO BUT IT WILL WORK IN OPPOSITION TO LOWER PRICES
Cover All Pre-Existing Conditions - THIS ALREADY EXISTS
Protect Social Security and Medicare - WHAT DOES THIS EVEN MEAN?
Protect Our Veterans and Provide World-Class Healthcare and Services- WHAT DOES THIS EVEN MEAN?

On your last 2 points. The Dems have pushed a narrative trump was coming after Medicare/SS and VA healthcare. Those points were most likely just added to make sure that narrative doesn't go any further.

For your other comments.

I would say cut prescription drug prices is what Trump wants but what the gop would never do (see him stating again he wants term limits..)

The GOP as a whole has no fricking plan whatsoever to replace Obamacare. It became a talking point and that's it. All trump harps on is the mandate he removed but the GOP never had a plan to repeal and replace it was just opposition party gospel and that's all the GoP literally does.

Trump doesn't have anything to add realistically because he knows anything is DOA with Dems and GOP. He's definitely not trying to make this election about healthcare because the GOP would lose.

That's why I full expect us to get Medicare for All in the next 10 yrs. I literally believe it because the GOP has no answer and they don't want to have an answer.

This is helpful. Makes sense.

I'm not so sure. Americans really struggle with loss aversion and its too easy for either side to make hay about losses in healthcare financing. Even assuming Medicare for All worked perfectly, the transition costs associated with such a move would be TREMENDOUS. Hard to imagine it ever happening because the party who did it would spend a decade in the wilderness for doing it.

Cut Prescription Drug Prices


There are dozens of anecdotal accounts of folks going to pick up their Rx yesterday and today reporting that POTUS' EO on prescription drug prices kicked in and they're paying a fraction of what they were in previous months.

quote:

Something is going on with prescription prices. The executive order that the president signed a month ago went into effect yesterday. There are stories all over of people paying a fraction of what they used to pay.

The order states that if a drug is sold outside the USA for a lower price, it must also now be sold in the USA for the same price as the lowest outside-US price. I am probably not explaining this well but here is the order:

LINK /

This list came from the Donald.win:


90-day medication was $1339 - today it is $251
LINK

Person now pays 1/3 of what prescription used to cost. Pharmacist told him "President Trump did something."
LINK

$48 medication is now $1.54
LINK

Cancer medication is $4800 month - is now $100
LINK

$10 medication is now .67
LINK

$374 to $26
LINK

Lots of Twitter screenshots of lower prices: LINK /

$90/month medication is now $15
LINK /

$500 chemo cream is now $18
LINK /

More discussion
LINK /


This has the potential to be a huge eye opener for those not following things the way we do. Even someone who hates the president will not be able to deny the positive benefits of paying less for the same medications.

I have not seen any mainstream media reporting this yet.

Depends on the mission, special forces,Rangers, Marine fast response, big arse bombs. We have all kinds of ways to respond depending on the situation. It may take ground forces and it might be a campaign that could take months to finish, I believe the idea and answer would be flexibility.


That kind of eliminates bringing the troops home then doesn't it?
