Consdering most politicians and the ruling class would prefer a populace of uneducated chattel slaves, it's a pretty big deal.

Personally I think pointing to America's awful performance in things like infrastructure, healthcare and education and inciting patriotism about it is a great way to channel those feelings towards a positive outcome

its good that you have a positive outlook

I know per Trump, America isn't great - maybe even a disaster - and has third world infrastructure and unacceptable health care and everything else. Has he ever listed off which countries the US should look to as role models for success?

No, but Trump will be Trump:

quote:

Savage, after wondering if Scalia was "murdered," asked Trump if he would support a Warren Commission-style investigation into the justice's death.
Trump responded that while he doesn't have enough information to comment on whether Scalia was murdered, he found it "pretty unusual" that the justice was discovered with "a pillow on his face."

It evens out eventually, since a lot of this Trump *click* respondents are probably lack the patience/discipline/intellect to figure out when and where to go vote anyway. Basically, if you're the kind of person to shout your vote into your phone at a total stranger, I don't think you can reliably be counted on to vote at all.

Cool. Trump reiterated his healthcare stance of getting rid of Obamacare since it sucks for us non-poors and increasing the use of HSAs and eliminating state borders for buying insurance, and then covering the poors and not letting them "die in the streets" via medicaid, workimg out deals with hospitals, etc/

He also fielded a question from a female black entrepreneur and started bashing Obama over black youth unemployment and the disparity of unemployment between white and black professionals.
