this shit over and over - a woman is now responsible for her husband's infidelities.

Of course Conservative ReTHUGs believe that shit. This is not an accident.

I think it is best to keep her attacks on policy.

5. He is also totally going after the Bernie voters with "tax the rich" and "increase the min wage"

I hope most people won't believe he would really do that. I sure don't.

12. So both articles, the one you cite and the one I read earlier, report on the same event . . .

But the UK Guardian reports first that Trump wants to do away with the Federal Minimum Wage, then let the States decide if they will raise it, while the Washington Post reports that Trump hopes the States will raise the Minimum Wage but ignores the part where he calls for doing away with the Federal Guidelines.

What do you see his actual position to be?

Or will we, as with his tax proposals, have to accept that even though he touts cuts for the wealthy they will probably end up paying more once Congress gets through debating and reconciling his proposal?

Or is this just fantasy? . . .

14. I am a Bernie voter. I truly believe trump is going after the liberal vote.

Either that or trying to get liberals to stay home by stating he is to the left of Hillary on these issues.

But, in a few days he could say the opposite.

What I am saying is that he is very dangerous.

When I turned on the radio yesterday the quick two minute news report stated he was for increasing the minimum wage and for higher taxes on the wealthy.

11. Except today he back peddled on Tax the Rich. He wants to abolish the Federal Min Wage

Now, he is open to negotiation on the final tax brackets, but he said they will be less than they are now.

It has been on MSNBC, CNN, and discussed in several posts in GD.

How Trump clarified his position on taxing the wealthy

He wants to abolish the federal minimum wage and leave it to the states. We all know what Republicans mean by states rights,

the attack - they are doing it deliberately. They are all Trump tools led by the Comcast producers.
Time to expose producers on the take on all networks and cable
