As someone with an inside track there are a LOT of political promises Hillary has made to a lot of people and a whole lot more that Bill has made on behalf of Hillary so he could win his second term; however, Trump is not one of those people who was made a promise. Hell I know who her first SoS will be and who some other cabinet positions will be and none of them benefit Trump or his incorporated self.
Trump is in the race for real, I like him, and I work for another candidate a few days a month on strategy and damn it if he isn't doing what people like. He is the Republican Sanders. He is talking to the base and he shares the values of people who do not normally vote because they are discouraged - like Sanders with the 18-30 gap of voters.

I agree.
I just spent the weekend watching his speeches and stuff on youtube and agree he is the real deal.
I was a sanders guy but after hearing how moderate trump is on social and helathcare and monopoly issues like sanders i suddenly realized we have a game changer here.
And trump is good. Watch for more than 5 minutes as he sepakes about issues and how to approach foreign trade and you realize the guy makes a greatase for his skills as the perfect answer to out trade problems.
But it blew my mind he was prochoice, wants healthcare for all, and want sto break up big compa ies etc. And if you look at his old stuffrom david letterman appearances he was saying the same stuff decades ago.
He is not a shill.

On the conservative side he picks up the lower tax rates, reforming social security and welfare, as well as not wanting to punish success with higher tax rates unless you are born in billions like he was.

... Trump is the republican Sanders? I never saw Sanders make a fool of himself acting a racist piece of shit on camera. What in Jebus' name would make you say Trump is in ANY way like Sanders?

Policy.... You idiot, I think Sanders makes himself a fool everytime he touts out the liberal wealth gap or wage gap talking points.

Sanders makes a fool out of himself whenever he opens his mouth.
