Some of my friends think Trump is going to lower spending or cut it, however
Trump Plans To Outspend Hillary
http://www.ronpaullibertyreport.com/...tspend-hillary
Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are touting policies that would boost public spending by hundreds of billions of dollars even as they vow on the campaign trail to slash the size of government, according to new estimates, says the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
They would increase spending by even more than Hillary Clinton.
“It’s a bit of a shocker. In this election there are a lot of shocking things,” said Maya MacGuineas, president of the CRFB. “We are talking about an expansion of government by this amount at a time when public debt is already so high.”
Cruz would be the biggest spender.
Over ten years Cruz would boost spending by 6 per cent to an average of $5.4tn a year — equal to 23.4 per cent of gross domestic product — from $5.1tn under current law.
Trump would raise spending by 3-4 per cent to an average of $5.3tn per year.
Cruz’s spending is a result of his proposed outlays on defense. Trump’s numbers are pushed up by an expensive proposal to expand healthcare for military veterans.
Hillary Clinton, has announced plans that would boost annual spending by 2 per cent to $5.2tn or 22.5 per cent of GDP.
People love Trump precisely because he can say outrageous things and get away with it - he's like a political superman, he's bulletproof. This doesn't mean they're low information - it means they're pissed off. His meteoric and bizarre rise has, and always will be, an anti-establishment populist movement. It's certainly not an anti-intellectual one.

So anti-establishment. Yawnnnn.
Holy shit I'm quoting myself. Who do I think I am, Donald Trump?

Millenials will decide this election and traditionally they are pro-gay marriage, pro-weed, pro-'free' college, pro-$15 min wage and they are 18-35 and the largest population of voters. They are typically democrat. Then you toss on all the minirities (sexual and racial) that the republicans have no interest in including in their party if not used as a convenient boogie man for the base and it is no wonder Bernie and Hillary are polling higher in the general election.
Unless something massive happens I don't see republicans winning this one.
