Yeah, being told that your job is outsourced to an illegal, or India, by the UniParty and having to get a McJob for McWages + welfare is "self-preservation".
The protectionist policies that you want will be expensive and that cost will be a form of Free Shit to those who benefit from them.

Beats early death, which is what the GOP is giving their base.
Meh. Some form of universal health care is coming regardless of which party wins the election. Just the other day, Trump promised 'something terrific.'

Umm, no. GOP will never do universal health care. Look how much they are fighting Medicaid expansion.

He also understands how communism, socialism, are both morally and fiscally wrong.

Both things America needs to understand (again.)

And you think the non-protectionist policies we have now, and are engaging in more every day, cost nothing?

Do you not fucking see what is going on? Do you think the hollowing out of the entire middle class is a fucking bake sale? Do you think that has no impact on a primary, secondary, tertiary all of the way up to the nth order of effect? What about the cost for social programs? What about the cost for educating the people who are repeatedly told that these "loser jobs" that they are "too lazy" to work aren't worth keeping anyway? What about the Disney workers? The Carrier workers? The Nabisco workers? The electronics, steel, auto, home appliances...etc that have been offshored due to China's currency manipulation? Do you think the cost of that was free?

What about the cost of all of the illegal aliens? Do you think they bring all of their shit with them and don't cost us a single penny? What about all of the people who want a job? What about the people who want higher wages from scarce labor only to be competed against by illegals or H1Bs?

Where the fuck do you think the cost of all that goes?

That's the problem with you people, you've had your heads so far up the UniParty's asses for so fucking long that you buy this shit like a crackwhore sucks down a cock to buy her next fix.

You should be telling Government to go to hell, as they are the ones that are spending indiscriminately into debt.

lol poor babies, there is literally one demographic voting for Trump and the rest will vote for anyone else.

Angry white already republican men. And a sprinkling of other morons. EVERYONE else will vote for whoever opposes Trump. He CANNOT win. Its literally not a possibility. And his supporters are all the more foolish for thinking he can win.

Who has be burned bridges with?

Women
Everyone who isnt white
The freakin pope lol
not to mention everyone who was gonna vote "for free stuff" anyway. lol

Kinda hilarious, my theory is that he is in deep with Hillary Clinton to make sure she wins. He donated money to her in the past...

Try to remember that a totally noob black senator with a muslim name, beat a very qualified war hero and Mitt Romney who is richer than Trump by a YUGE margin both times. My GOD its soo funny.

WAT? Mitt Romney's net worth is estimated at around $250 million. Donald Trump's net worth is estimated to be around $4 billion. Your source for information is estimated to be a dumpster full of trash.

I have been hearing that since the day he announced and have never stopped laughing. You liberals just don't understand conservative moral values. You are clueless and because of it you lose on a regular basis. Just look at how many morons Republicans have elected and wake the fuck up.

Morons elect morons? You don't say!

You're kinda stuck in a non-functional premise you didn't actually mention, the premise that the World economy we've allowed the Job Creators! to embrace is somehow now reversible.

I contend that ship already sailed & won't be coming back. I also contend that just because we have to settle for less doesn't mean that the financial elite should have more. They led us here. This economy is what they've created. If we want money out of them to create jobs in this country we'll have to take it as taxes & create our own jobs.

Otherwise, it's just another episode of Charlie Brown & the football.

Nobody has to settle for less, if Government is limited. Brought back into control.

Today it is out of control.

First thing they did was cut taxes so that they no longer needed to reinvest in their companies here to get tax breaks to withdraw their profits.

Next, they created Free Trade Agreements and deregulated Wall St. so that their profits could chase massive ROIs.

The thing is, the dirty fucking hippies have been warning everyone about this for the past god damn 40 years, and now, finally, everyone else is waking up, looking around, and observing objective reality.

Electing some member of the 0.001% who isn't accountable to anyone because of his wealth is pretty much the most hilarious and inept way to react, politically, to waking up to the fact that you've been lied to for the past 40 years while the richest and most powerful have been pulling the levers of government all for their own benefit.

And yet, here we are.

And you think Trump will fix that, which is just adorable. A conman who runs a fake college and explicitly hires people from overseas will suddenly work hard for the average person? How fucking dumb are you?

Trump will slap down legislators and Government in general, and remind them that they are servants to the people.

And you think he can do any worse than hillary? At least he has everything he has riding on it, his rep, which is pretty much everything he is worth.

Can you say that for anybody else?

Marco Rubio, is that you?

Seriously, someone needs to put you in touch with Rubio's IT department to see if they can upgrade your OS so that you aren't just repeating the same thing over and over. It's working for Rubio at the moment.

Just a tweak should be necessary.

Yes, his rep is totally all he is worth. That $2-4 billion dollar cushion is basically nothing compared to Strongman Trump's "Rep".

He loses his rep and his cash flow stops. That's what most of his wealth is built on. It's not like he owns a company that makes widgets.
