I have a question for any of the people on this blog who voted for Trump.
Name his five top policies that you agree with. I mean actual policies, not liberal-bashing, common sense-bashing wishful thinking. What actual policies of his do you agree with and why?
I voted for Hilary, but I know a few people who voted for Trump.
I don’t think a single one of them voted for him based on policies (did he have any explicit policies or plans?). Most “educated” people voted for Trump because of an emotionally not-based-on-facts hatred of Hilary (I summarize here). Most “uneducated” people voted for him because he is a “Washington outsider”. I don’t believe any deeper thought was applied. :roll:

At one point 95% of the media were writing negatively about Trump. The facts are that most of Trump supporters were smart enough not to be taken in by the media. Near the end, when Trump did layout his plans they got good reviews by the trade magazines and no coverage by the main media. I’m done with main news media’s. Now it is Fox New with Megyn Kelly, Bill O’Reilly and Judge Jeanine for me. http://www.subjectpolitics.com/nbc-accidentally-admits-media-bias-trump/ http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/10/china-state-media-us-mainstream-media-biased-trump/ http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/poll-media-bias-against-donald-trump-229998 http://www.aim.org/don-irvine-blog/msnbcs-scarborough-calls-media-bias-against-trump-deplorable-video/ http://nypost.com/2016/10/19/americans-think-the-media-is-biased-against-trump-poll/
Trump never got any plan or policies out to the public until the most of the campaign was over.He still hasn't.
Trump was grounded by the media:lol: The media was his best friend. They kept the Wikileaks and Clinton Foundation stories alive even though they were non-issues. :lol: :lol: You are either kidding or delusional. :lol: :lol:

Nothing but junk. Trump listed on his website https://www.donaldjtrump.com/policies/tax-plan in September his tax plan. It was vague but I was surprised he listed anything do to the political spin of the time. My take on the Trump’s financial plan came from what the big American and European Central Banks were saying. And that was that the upcoming recession will be two years longer if Clinton wins. The media was backing Clinton and I think wanted to dig deep into the Climate issues. I agree that Wikileaks and Clinton Foundations were not that big of an issue for most people. But I think Clinton and not Trump kept it alive by not getting into real issues like Climate Change and Health Care. As far as the media being Trump's best friend. I don't think of it that way. It was more like they were trying to play Trump and instead he played them.

I have a question for any of the people on this blog who voted for Trump. Name his five top policies that you agree with. I mean actual policies, not liberal-bashing, common sense-bashing wishful thinking. What actual policies of his do you agree with and why?Trump does not have any real policies yet. https://www.donaldjtrump.com/policies Ok, maybe I should have said the policies are not yet ready to implement. If Trump says I am going to build a wall. I would not call that a policy. But, other people might. Policy - a course or principle of action adopted or proposed by a government, party, business, or individual. If one is to take policy as a proposal. Then I am wrong. But, LoisL ask for us not to use wishful thinking so I was using the principle of action thinking.
I don’t think that policies were foremost in the minds of many of the people who voted for Trump. As has been stated above, at best he made vague assertions of direction. Although this is not really a direct answer to the question about listing policies, I came across an article written by someone who researched people in rural Wisconsin that shed some light on why some people voted for him:
A New Theory on Trump Voters]
Some quotes from the article:
For instance, she says, most rural Wisconsinites supported the tea party’s quest to shrink government not out of any belief in the virtues of small government but because they did not trust the government to help “people like them."
What I was hearing was this general sense of being on the short end of the stick. Rural people felt like they not getting their fair share.
And she boiled it down to three things:
• First, people felt that they were not getting their fair share of decision-making power.
• Second, people would complain that they weren’t getting their fair share of stuff, that they weren’t getting their fair share of public resources.
• And third, people felt that they weren’t getting respect.
My take on this is that these people did not vote for Trump so much for specific policies, but because they were no longer the comfortable white Christian majority, but were now being made to feel like black people, Hispanics, followers of Islam, the LGBT community and non-Christians and Atheists in general. In other words, they are now being treated the way they have treated minorities in the past. AND THEY DON’T LIKE IT! They want to turn back the clock to the time when they came first and the minorities knew their place.
It’s a shame they don’t stop and think, “Hey, so this is how we made all those people feel. Now I feel so ashamed.” But they don’t. And Trump may give them a reprieve. It’s bad, but I believe it is only temporary. We will suffer social setbacks over the coming years, but these rural white Christians will continue to shrink in numbers relative to the overall population. They will lose in the long run.

We will suffer social setbacks over the coming years, but these rural white Christians will continue to shrink in numbers relative to the overall population. They will lose in the long run.But the long run will become a short run if we don't recognize and accept and confront what we are doing to this planet that sustains us. Although the biggest tragedy is that Americans are not very good at stopping and thinking. They run out have a couple nights of protests to get it out of their system and then they are good until the next travesty goes down and they have a chance to squirt once again before going back to sleep. How about fighting for a healthy democracy?

They know he's going to cut taxes and make everyone rich. The Pied Piper leading his followers off a cliff. Unfortinately they'll create anarchy in the process. If they'd just go over the cliff quietly, along with their "leader", the US and the world would be a lot better off.

I once saw an analysis that the media was negative toward republicans. The years they choose to study were 1973 and 74. Think about it.
