Blue collar workers and Gen Zs do not read newspapers as often as
other news sources (social media, streaming devices, people's "BS",
etc), and as such, I believe literate people who do read newspapers
are the adults in the room who can decipher reality.
There are various reasons why people vote for a candidate A, ranging
from "tax breaks" for me to behavioral aspects, etc.
When news sources indicate candidate A's policies will bring about
more inflation than candidate B, many voters will still vote for this
person. So its clear these people can't make rational decisions.
I don't think political endorsements have clout.
"Households with an average income of $100,000 were more likely to
read the newspaper at a rate of 70 percent."
But, what do they read??? Sports, obits, etc ???

Warren Buffett Finally Chooses Whom To Endorse In The 2024 Election
And It Might Be A Surprise For Many
He has made it clear he's not endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris,
former President Donald Trump or any other candidate. In a time of
deep political division, Buffett has decided that staying out of the
game is his best move.

If you are voting for Trump after this rally, you support fascism. If
you claim it's because of taxes or immigration or whatever issue makes
you feel righteous about supporting a fascist, you're like an Italian supporting Mussolini because he made the trains run on time.

He had four years to do this....
3. Energy Independence and Deregulation
Oh, he supports the Oil/Gas industries....
"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over
again, but expecting different results"
This is genius! LOL, no, it's classic Reagan trickle-down economics.
Didn't work then, hasn't ever worked, won't work now.
That's nonsense and fake news and why Trump will win. People are getting tired of all the hyperbole, and have since long stopped listening.
1. Immigration Reform and Border Security
One of Donald Trump’s most significant policy proposals revolves around immigration reform, which includes the construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump has consistently advocated for stricter
immigration policies, including increased funding for border security, enhanced deportation efforts, and changes to legal immigration processes.
His administration would likely focus on reducing illegal immigration
through enforcement measures and revising visa programs to prioritize
skilled workers.
2. Economic Policy and Tax Reform
Trump has proposed a comprehensive economic policy aimed at stimulating growth through tax cuts and deregulation. His plan includes lowering corporate tax rates to encourage business investment and job creation, as well as simplifying the tax code for individuals. Additionally, he has emphasized the importance of renegotiating trade deals that he believes disadvantage American workers, such as NAFTA and agreements with China.
3. Energy Independence and Deregulation
A key aspect of Trump’s policy agenda is achieving energy independence for the United States. This involves promoting fossil fuel production,
including oil, natural gas, and coal, while rolling back regulations that
he argues hinder energy development. Trump supports expanding drilling on federal lands and offshore areas to boost domestic energy production and reduce reliance on foreign energy sources.
4. Foreign Policy: America First Approach
Trump’s foreign policy is characterized by an “America First” approach, which prioritizes U.S. interests in international relations. This includes reassessing alliances and military commitments abroad, focusing on
bilateral trade agreements rather than multilateral ones, and advocating
for increased defense spending to strengthen the military. He has also expressed skepticism about international organizations like NATO unless member countries meet their financial obligations.
5. Health Care Reform
Trump aims to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA), commonly known as Obamacare. His proposed health care reforms include increasing competition in the insurance market by allowing insurance sales across
state lines, providing tax deductions for health insurance premiums, and promoting Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). The goal is to lower costs while improving access to healthcare services without government mandates.

Probably true, actually!

I don't think he's capable of it, and his wall was a collossal, fucking
joke. But what the hell, I too want secure borders and the restoration
of this country's ability to control who gets in.

Didn't work then, hasn't ever worked, won't work now. It's lowering
taxes for the billionaires pushing to put him in office, and the cuts
will all come from social programs and education, as usual, making this country stupider than it already is. "TCAD" is a Republican mantra for
half a century and virtual proof they have no ideas at all.

Oil is more expensive than solar these days, and this policy is what you
get when your illiterate candidate has been bought by Shell and Exxon.

If only the military knew how to make better use of the limitless funds
it already receives.

Yawn. Boring. So basically, needed a healthcare bullet and this is the
best some neckbearded, sadsack campaign advisor could come up with.

The wall was a symbol. It never had anything to do with reality. The
question you must ask yourself, will Camela be more likely to succeed
with stopping immigration? I don't think so.

Only if Congress wants to enact effective punishments against
employers.
In the first two years of Trump's previous presidency, this could have
been done. But no, Trump ;had illegals working for him.
Trickle-down has been proven to work.
Do not suggest that when taking Economics 101
"Many economists argue that trickle-down policies often lead to
increased income inequality, as wealth does not always "trickle down" significantly to lower-income groups"
BTW, Trickle-Up is much better in a free market. That's right, let
the consumers choose products/services with their tax relief.

Ha ha ha, beautiful revisionist history, so typical. If that's what
helps team Cheeto sleep at night, enjoy it. But it was absolutely not a
joke back in the day.
I'd concede it's hugely symbolic now though: expensive, incomplete,
poorly thought out, a total waste of taxpayer dollars, got Bannon thrown
in jail for grifting, and never kept one single immigrant out.
It's a symbol now for sure.

It was, except for the most gullible. This is scientific fact.
