What are trumps plans? On the economy, foreign affairs, taxes, spending?

But I do know one thing I am really liking......the kochs and those like them have been marginalized so far in this race. Would love for it to stay that way.

i know citizens united was a way to open the floodgates. but, thankfully, superpacs cannot work with campaigns, can't pay campaign employees, etc. so far it hasn't been as bad as once feared.
now, lobbying-that is the spigot needing shutting off. don't call it what it is, bribery. that would give it negative connotations!

That was one of the most disgusting decisions the Supreme Court (in particular the right wing Justices of course) has made. I would hope if a democrat stays in the oval office they will appoint the next justices and get that corrupt decision overturned! Ole Williard Romney not only got caught on video spouting about 47 %, he was also caught saying the bullspit that is " CORPORATIONS ARE PEOPLE MY FRIEND" WRONG nor is SPEECH MONEY! Citizens United has got to go period!

Nor die on a battlefield! It's absurd!

I just saw The Big Short yesterday. While I did, prior to seeing the film, understand how the financial crisis of 2008 went down, being reminded of it was not good for my blood pressure. It also made me despair. I don't think there's any way, short of a rehash of the 1930s, complete with being being shot by police during labor strikes, of the working or middle class getting anything back that the rich have taken from them in the past 40 years.

That said, it's a good movie. Go see it. And then take a lot of deep breaths after.
