Perhaps. Doesn't change my lack of trust for him. In the general election I'll vote for him. Hell would have to Freeze over to vote for the Hildabeast.Elections are not being held today..............We are a long way off for the whole she bang...............A lot can happen in that time. Primaries..............well they are coming up pretty fast.'Tax Wall Street' Trump Pledges After Stock Market Selloff
"I know Wall Street. I know the people on Wall Street. We're going to have the greatest negotiators of the world, but at the same time I'm not going to let Wall Street get away with murder. Wall Street has caused tremendous problems for us. We're going to tax Wall Street."
Now, I'll be honest, I have no idea what he means by this... how the hell do you "tax Wall Street?"But it sounds more like something Bernie Sanders would say... the left-wing anti-capitalist clap trap we've been accustomed to from Marxist socialists for years. I don't like that kind of talk. Give me some objective wisdom like making it harder for hedge fund managers to exploit tax loopholes... eliminate the damn loopholes with a flat tax or fair tax... any number of reasonable solutions that could be discussed. I don't like it when a supposed Conservative starts talking about "raising taxes" to fix problems.
That, coupled with his recent attacks on Cruz over his eligibility are putting me off in a really big way. I liked Trump, I liked how he came out swinging and didn't back down. I liked that he made the establishment look like fools and idiots. I loved the way he turned the liberal alarmist smear tactics into stronger poll numbers to their utter befuddlement. And... like I said, if he is the nominee, I will vote for him in the general election over the Democrat. But I'll be holding my nose.
He's talking about HEDGE FUNDS that make BILLIONS and pay little to NO TAX! He isn't talking about us SMALL PEOIPLE that own stock or have stocks in a retirement fund... he's stated this several times.
Trump: close hedge fund tax loophole - Connecticut Post

Sep 17, 2015 - In Wednesday's Republican presidential debate, Trump called for closing a loophole on how money management fees earned by hedge fund, ...
Well then he needs to be more careful about what he says. Closing a loophole is not "raising taxes" it's closing a loophole that prevents paying of taxes. I have no problem with closing a loophole for billionaire hedge fund managers. But that's NOT what he said.
This is what I am reading.... if the elections were held today Trump would win..... so OP...sour or not....that is the reality of the situation.
Trump Could Win It All
Cruz will probably win Iowa with Trump a close second, as Iowa is a HUGE Evangelical state and Cruz is heavy on Religion where Trump isn't. After that Trump will take everything except, perhaps California with it's heavy Hispanic population which Cruz again appeals to!
