Wow.
Amazing po, I ask you for a link to back up something YOU stated and all you have is sarcasm.
And no link on your 72% either...
Why do you look at me as somehow your enemy?
Can you not engage in dialogue without looking at someone with a different opinion as you as the enemy?
Everyone of us brings a different and hopefully valued perspective, so why the hate?
Sometimes amazed at the attitudes displayed, here.

You are right, you have no valued perspective defending someone as immoral as Donald Trump. I can tick off so many Constitutional fights that Ted Cruz has waged and won, but you don't want that kind of candidate. You are angry and want a ball-buster with no morals. I do have the link, but I'd have to take the time to look through everything and I don't have the time, because I don't care if you believe it or not. I have some people who have run the numbers without writing a blog about it.

And since you claim to be a professional, run the numbers and post them here.

Re: Unbound: The Conscience of a Republican Delega

po - you say that I am angry?
When you write that kind of post?
I am not angry at anyone.
Your post makes me wonder where the "old" po has gone.
And all this anger at me for asking you for a link?
I, like you, supported Ted Cruz.
However, he lost.
Trump won.
In a decision between Trump and Hillary, I choose Trump so now I am your enemy?
I was highly trained in statistics, so that makes me your enemy?
Because I point out that something you believe to be true has a problem with its methodolgy.
Again, where has the "old" po gone.

Trump is not the nominee until after the Convention in July. All we want is for the process to play out. You should want that as well, for this election as well as future elections. There is no telling what kind of candidate will show up after this ridiculous display by Donald Trump.

TRUMP STARES DOWN GLOBALISTS...

TRANSCRIPT: NO NAFTA, NO TPP, AMERICA FIRST...

Meanwhile, globalist bootlickers plot to steal the nomination from him while weak Christians wring their hands because Trump hurts the globalists' feelings with his crude talk.

This might be helpful to you. I've excerpted some important points in the article.

Why America Needs to Support Free Trade

New technologies bring about change, which, as U.S. economic history shows, benefits society as a whole. In the process, however, some sectors suffer until they can adapt to the new changes and begin to benefit from them. Today, Americans are experiencing some of that "suffering" because new technologies are challenging old methods of production.

This change is especially visible in the manufacturing sector, just as it was in the agricultural sector 100 years ago. But in the same way that it adapted then to a new, more industry-based society, America will adapt again to a new, more knowledge-based society.

Five Reasons to Support Free Trade

REASON #1: Higher Standard of Living
REASON #2: Competition and Innovation
REASON #3: Economic Growth
REASON #4: Stronger Institutions and Infrastructure
REASON #5: Peace

Re: Unbound: The Conscience of a Republican Delega

Donald Trump Had a Very Different Message About Trade Before He Ran For President

He said the United States should rip up its current trade deals if it cannot renegotiate them and crack down on “cheaters.” It was the most aggressive portrait of American economic policy Trump has yet given, one that squared with his campaign slogan, “America First.”

But that is not a vision Trump has always had.

In a blog post written just three years ago,...

Though Trump has long railed against bad trade deals, his call on Tuesday for America to cut off much of its commerce with the rest of the world is at odds with his past optimism about international economic cooperation.

In the aftermath of the global financial crisis, Trump wrote in 2013 said that businesses could work in a more unified world....

He did not call for cutting off commerce with the rest of the world. Such nonsense.

But again, the globalists are afraid of him. But sadly, I don't think you are afraid of the globalists.

Trump's speech was a Worker's Party speech. He was purposely directing an appeal to the Bernie Sanders crowd. Are you paying attention or is this who you are?

From the above referenced article:

But in 2005, Trump explained the merits of outsourcing jobs. “We hear terrible things about outsourcing jobs — how sending work outside of our companies is contributing to the demise of American businesses,” Trump wrote in 2005. “But in this instance I have to take the unpopular stance that it is not always a terrible thing.”
