Re: Trump and the Military Industrial Complex.

http://blogs.reuters.com/great-debate/2016/03/02/trump-is-right-about-defense-spending-and-that-should-scare-you/

Opinion piece by Matthew Gault is a defense reporter for War Is Boring. He produces and co-hosts "War College," Reuters' military podcast

I like Gault a lot, and his podcast is great, but I wouldn't read this as an endorsement of Trump in anything other than the broad platitude that defense acquisition is out of control. I mean, no poo poo Sherlock - that's something that the DoD's been increasingly forthright about for the last few years. The problem is, where do you start? Congress isn't going to stop colluding with defense contractors just because a president grandstands against them. Obama and Bob Gates tried to kill the F-35 in 2010 - and the Senate pushed it through anyway.

Pork finds a way:

quote:

Workers in 45 states are involved in producing aircraft, including 40,000 in Texas, where Lockheed’s production line is based. That assures the program will enjoy solid support in the U.S. Congress, so much so that Bloomberg News two years ago declared that the aircraft is “too big to kill” despite its costly delays due to repeated design and software issues.

So it seems unlikely to me that Trump will be able to reduce defense acquisition without help from Congress, which probably won't be forthcoming.

We're having a very High Energy night everyone, it looks like Trump could sweep it all. But don't get complacent! Trump (doesn't) need our donations (because he's self-funding)! I am going to donate $0 for every state he wins, and I will double that if he wins them all. Will anyone match me?

I honestly pity the people who think Trump is Hitler 2.0 or whatever. This is a great businessman who loves America and is trying to rebuild it. Yes, he is crass, but so what? We need someone who tells it like it is. America is sick and tired of the bullshit that Hillary and Sanders and Rubio, etc... spout all day long: we like someone who is straightforward like Trump. He knows how to get stuff done -- how many of the other candidates have ever hired anyone, or run a business?? Exactly. Trump is calling out the stupidity of government that we all know exists and he is going to do something about it!

Hillary Clinton helped run Walmart where she hired people at poverty wages and increased the numbers of female managers because they could get away with paying them less than men. As secretary of state she helped continue to keep their costs down by forcing Haiti to abandon a minimum wage increase for their workers.

Donald Trump created well-paid jobs, many of them unionized, in the productive construction industry.

When answering phone polls, Trump supporters are the most likely to just yell their preferred candidate's name and immediately hang up before answering anything else iirc

Someone in this thread or the main GOP one talked about their experience working for a polling firm. Apparently a lot of Trump voters would just yell his name down the line and hang up without answering more questions.

Trump wins Michigan, Mississippi as four U.S. states vote

quote:

Republican front-runner Donald Trump rolled to primary wins in the big prize of Michigan and in Mississippi on Tuesday, brushing off a week of blistering attacks from the party's establishment to expand his lead in the White House nominating race.

Trump's convincing win in Michigan restored his outsider campaign's momentum and increased the pressure on the party's anti-Trump forces to find a way to stop his march to the nomination ahead of several key contests next week.

Trump built his victories in the industrial Midwest and the Deep South with broad appeal across many demographics, winning evangelical Christians, Republicans, independents, those who wanted an outsider and those who said they were angry about how the federal government is working, exit polls showed.

At a news conference afterward, Trump said he was drawing new voters to the Republican Party and the establishment figures that are resisting his campaign should save their money and focus on beating the Democrats in November.

"I hope Republicans will embrace it," Trump said of his campaign. "We have something going that is so good, we should grab each other and unify the party."

He mocked rivals John Kasich, the Ohio governor; Ted Cruz, a U.S. senator from Texas; and Marco Rubio, a U.S. senator from Florida, and suggested they had little hope going forward.

He took particular aim at Cruz, who split four nominating contests on Saturday with Trump and positioned himself as the prime alternative to the brash New York billionaire in the race to be the party's candidate in the Nov. 8 election.

"Ted is going to have a hard time," Trump said of Cruz. "He rarely beats me."

The Michigan victory sets Trump up for a potentially decisive day of voting a week from Tuesday. On March 15, Ohio, Florida, Illinois, Missouri and North Carolina - like Michigan, states rich in the delegates who will select their party's nominee at July's Republican National Convention - cast ballots.

The Republican contests in Florida and Ohio award all the state's delegates to the winner. If Trump, 69, could sweep those two states and pile up delegates elsewhere next week, it could knock home-state favorites Rubio and Kasich out of the race and make it tough for Cruz to catch him.

Extending the useful life of infrastructure and outsourcing jobs to countries with cheaper labor costs are positive efforts made by profit-seeking businesses. How is a profit-seeking businessman the one to stop that?
