Republican Nomination

Post Reply New Topic

Who would you like to see get the nomination?

For me, Weld FTW!! !

I put Weld. Never going to happen.

I would have considered Sanford, but with him being out of the race I will default to Tulsi until the general.

I went with Weld, in case the GOP carries the race again.

I would just like to see the GOP go to the center, and see the "Rockefeller Republicans" make a comeback.

Sounds good to me.

TRUMP!

TRUMP is proposing TAX CUTS 2.0.

And leave the country with a worse deficit.

Bill Weld is basically like voting Democratic with extra steps.

I do not like either party and I do not like either candidate but I picked Trump in the poll.

Tax cuts are good to restore a % of income back to the circulating economy which generate more taxes when things are bought. Which in turn returns revenue back to the gov. A flat tax would be optimal across the board. The thing that would truly help is restoring the manufacturing base to the US instead of outsourcing all manufacturing to .cn in order to obtain the cheapest products possible for maximum non-circulating profit. A manufacturing economy is a strong economy, a service based is weak. With machine learning, AI, outsourcing, and service based economy, I believe the studied forecasters were right when they spoke about the .cn vs USA future... "in the coming years, as Americans find it harder and harder to find work"... Manufacturing jobs or blue collar jobs create a 6:1 ratio of dollars back to the economy. Penalize vulture capitalism; eg The Cabela's / Bass Pro debacle. That was truly sickening. One person gained around a billion and many lost jobs and gov lost tax revenue.

Hasn't begun happening yet, and in my humble opinion probably never will.

I miss John McCain.

Me, too.

I miss Lindsey Graham's spine, soul, integrity, and brain.

Could say that about most of the Republicans in Congress. Even ones who never made any pretence at being remotely moderate at least opposed Trump when he was a lunatic shouting about Muslims and Mexicans. Now he's a lunatic President routinely flouting the law and everyone except Amash, Collins, Murkowski and Romney has rolled over completely. It makes America look like a pathetic joke of a country, the sort of place where the President gets 96% of the vote regardless of how many people vote against him.

In many ways you have the best country in the world but I look at how the GOP has united behind Trump, and then I look at how Boris Johnson couldn't even get his own brother to unite around him, and well... you're still in better shape than Hungary, but you could be so much better!

It's because Graham's unrequited love, John McCain, is no longer here to keep him on the straight and narrow.
