I think Sanders plans would run the deficit up even farther. Bernie was good for a 21 trillion dollar increase. However Trump is also an idiot. It is hard to get a handle on where he stands on anything. He seems adept at telling whoever he is talking to what they want to hear.
Vote for Mr. Trump why ? Check out please

well whom ever runs... and if that third party person pops up... just going to make it worse I think... not sure for who
Trump has his "die-hards" willing to even fight for him and fully support anything he says or does.... then there are those that are anti-Trump and won't vote for him... some go to Hillary .. some just not vote others????
then there is Hillary... she has her die hards... and a lot of Dems that just don't think we are ready for socialism and a few crossover republicans...
then there is Sanders... doing everything he can to stop Hillary and really breaking up the Dems because a lot of them are like some of the others Sanders or no-one
IF someone else jumps out of the woodwork they could pull in the Anti-Trump people and the anti-Hillary people
what a friggn mess!... I wasn't really that thrilled with Biden either... and for all the people the republicans had running.... no one there really jumped out either.... back to the lesser of the evils!
Funny I really thought old Lindsay Graham had it in the bag when he announced.... just shows how much I know

they have already said he would by a huge amount and when asked about it... he can't even answer that question... he just wants to make everything like Sweden... with no idea how to pay!
very good at that and that is what has got him this far.... plus being a non-politician.... hopefully when the time come Hillary can put him on the spot on some of that.... the only real thing he has put out is his tax proposal and now he is changing that.... lately he is sounding a lot more Democratic than Republican... and I think that is what has Paul Ryan worried
we don't reduce government... we create jobs and improve the economy!
that is just a ten dollar term for taking away from those in need
spoken from someone who really knows politics!
Jon Stewart Did So Much More Than Insult Trump in This Interview
He proved that the media conversation hasn't been the same since he left it.
Jon Stewart joined David Axelrod yesterday for a wide-ranging discussion of the 2016 campaign. So naturally, most of the headlines this morning have been about nothing except Donald Trump.
CNN, Time, EW, Politico, and others all announced that Stewart had applied a sick burn to the presumptive Republican nominee at the live taping of Axelrod's "Axe Files" podcast. (In fairness, the chirp was strong: "[Trump] is a man-baby," Stewart said. "He has the physical countenance of a man, and a baby's temperament and hands.") But all the insult-based hype has really only served to reinforce one of Stewart's main lines of reasoning through the discussion: That media malpractice—specifically an obsession with conflict and shiny objects—is failing citizens and undermining our politics.
The point is an old one for the ex-Daily Show host. It's the one he brought to Crossfire so famously, and one he's leveled at Beltway types brave enough to join him on his old show. But it's taken on a new significance with the rise of Trump, a candidate for whom the truth is actively irrelevant. Stewart cited the Authenticity Myth that has taken hold when it comes to the apricot demagogue: that the media, in his words, "have twisted this around so his ignorant pronouncements are somehow a sign of great character." This has been a prevailing narrative of the campaign—that because Trump "says what he thinks," he is better than a normal politician, regardless of whether Trump really believes it or if he said the exact opposite thing yesterday.
The problem, Stewart explained, is one of incentives. The media has the same ones as a "crack dealer," in that as long as the product keeps selling, they're not bothered about the consequences. Stewart rightly cited the network executives who have called the Trump narrative "good for business," and the 1.4 million Trump interviews where he's asked a question, goes post-reality, and then the discussion moves on without a word.
There are so many fascinating things to take away from this discussion. Stewart seems at odds with himself, for instance, about another part of Trump's rise—the inefficacy of government. At one point, he blamed Democrats and their fecklessness: "The door is open to an asshole like Donald Trump because the Democrats haven't done enough to show people that government, that can be effective for people, can be efficient for people. And if you can't do that, then you've lost the right to make that change and someone's going to come in and demagogue you."
But at another, he called attention to the Republican business model so frequently cited by Esquire's Charles Pierce: Tell people government doesn't work, then go to Washington and prove it. It's a "tautology," Stewart said, and a searingly effective one that has convinced enough people that the only way to change the system is to blow it up. That has produced the populism of Bernie Sanders, but it has also fueled Trump's rise.
All this is to say that the big things—the important things—have once again taken a backseat this morning as the flashy insults have carpe diem'd. Whether that's a systemic issue rooted in the modern news cycle or media types taking the easy way out, the end result is the same: the incisive commentary Stewart offered for over an hour yesterday is mostly lost. He talked about conservative hypocrisy when it comes to political correctness; he described the grinding bureaucracy of the Washington "cesspool"; he called Hillary Clinton "a very bright woman without the courage of her convictions."

Everyone makes fun of trump but have you actually seen what's going on between cal an Mexico's boarder? Girls an boys are being kidnapped sold into sex trafficking, millions of dollars in ******* are crossing the boarder everyday. Along with guns heavily armed men but its okay there obey all the unconstitutional Democrats gun laws. Every other country protects there boarder an its about damn times we tell the Democrats to go suck it we are building a wall with all the money you piss away an secure it with ex military!
muscles44, it's hard to take your posts seriously with all the grammar, spelling, and sentence structuring errors in them.
I'm curious as to what you mean by unconstitutional Democrats gun laws? Care to expand on this comment? To what "Democrats gun laws" are you referring?
I thought Trump said he was going to make MEXICO pay for the wall? What happened to that idea?

sound just like a Trump supporter.... completely whacko!
Immigration has been a problem now for ????? how many years and how many different presidents? and yet remains the same
true Trump wants to build a wall.... big friggn deal..... if you take your head out of your rear you will check the news and see that tunnels are the new way in.... the wall MIGHT stop the families from coming in.... but not those who want in to do harm to the country.... what next a giant trench?
immigration is a problem but the wall is not the answer!
what did you have before aca.... nothing? so you would be paying through the ass for your needed health care anyway
you are just one with a problem with the ACA .... and yet numbers I saw the other day... 30 % of the country has some kind of pre-existing condition.... thanks to the ACA those people don't have to worry about health care
you sound just like my neighbor.... went to see him after he had heart surgery.... was literally crying because now he would not get health care being diagnosed with a bad heart... if he did it would be more than he could afford..... along come ACA and now he has health care and a couple more surgeries.... and yet would not vote for Obama because he is black and has a Muslim name... and still doesn't like Obama... go figure!
There you go typical democrat calling people names when they don't agree an trying to belittle the person. Republicans have been trying to secure the boarder for years but unfortunately the Democrats could care less about it an the safety of its people. I agree a wall will not solve everything but it would help. He wants to secure it with armed guards who will be looking for the tunnels.
......Well, thank you (NOT) for the rude response and failing to answer any of the questions I asked. I thought you had an issue with Democrats gun control and the "wall". You now indicate, no, you actually have an issue with ACA and health care. What state are you located, muscles44? Tell you what I think, I think you really just have an issue with liberals, and with Obama, and want to bitch at someone who's a liberal.
......My question now is, why is it usually the conservatives that START the name calling, then when liberals reciprocate, they start accusing liberals of name calling?
So, muscles44, is there ANY PART of my two responses, to you, that you would care to answer, or would you just prefer continuing with the "name calling"? Since you're new, I'll just clue you in on my special talents at sarcasm.
