Don't get salty that you are supporting a self-avowed sexual predator.
not poor
I would like to see a public works project to revitalize America from the bottom up (incomewise). I voted for Bernie for that, Trump hasn't proposed anything of the sort.
defeat the Koch brothers by electing one of their ilk, interesting plan.
Trump admitted to using his star power to sexually assault women.

Yes, I sent Bernie >$300. "Trump hasn't proposed anything of the sort." Now that is interesting. You think that Trump is like a regular Republican, don't you? So what you and I are arguing over has everything to do with you not paying attention.
You have sold yourself short, put your brain on hold, forgot that you have to listen to the platform and the plans and the policy statements and NOT to the MSM spin and subterfuge.
Your assignment is to put your critical thinking hat on and search for Trump's comments on tariffs/import Taxes and re-industrializing the USA.
You have to do this for yourself because we now have a emotional disagreement. Nothing I say will amount to a hill of beans in changing your mind. Right? Trump is a disgusting clown (which I agree) so YOU cannot see past that.
And let me look into my crystal ball to where this conversation would ultimately go: You will then find out that what I just told you is true but then you will say he is lying or insincere. And then that will be that.
"You cannot reason someone out of a opinion they did not reason their way into".
Either the MSM is allied against YOU for the sake of their owners and the parties they represent...or we live in a alternate reality from each other.

Trump wants to fund industries on the decline, it's a losing strategy. We as a nation already throw enough at coal, Nat gas, and oil. Maybe we spread it around, and yes while we get solyndra we also get Tesla. Who's not thinking you myopic sad sack.
