Should have had my friends horse Catholic boy on SatUsed to be a guy that bet on ball games that I knew ONLY time I made money was betting against him YOU remind me of him BillyTrump could have said he'd cut personal income taxes to zero, and then he'd have won the popular vote too. What message does that send?
I know what it tells me ..... that most Americans are idiots that don't care any more about our mounting debt than anybody in Congress does, even though they blabber about it all the time.
Candidates can say all kinds of shit to get votes, and then they'll get the votes, but it doesn't mean that all the shit those candidates propose should be enacted.
Here we are with $21 trillion in debt, and what do we have? Republicans jacking up spending on the military, much of which is wasted on its giant bureaucracy and weapons that don't work (and even if they did, we don't need them), and cutting taxes on the rich, while supporting the construction of a worthless wall that won't accomplish jack.
Then there's the flipside ..... proposals for free college for everyone, and expanded Medicare/SS.
Neither side saying much about how to pay for all this shit, let alone balance the budget let alone pay down the debt.
Trump saying he'd build a wall and stop illegal immigration and then being elected just doesn't mean shit to me, it tells me that the priorities of voters are all fucked up. On a list of ten problems the USA has, I'd rank illegal immigration TENTH.
Those damned voters, always voting against their own interests.
Apparently, the voters disagree with your ranking of priorities. I myself rank Democrats first, with illegal immigration a close second.
I only bet on sure things.
