Quixote1818's JournalPalin slams Trump Carrier deal as 'crony capitalism'
Be quiet Sarah! Don't let anyone know that Republicans don't really believe in free market capitalism!
Snip:
But she goes onto to blast the deal as crony capitalism" and an example of the "hallmark of corruption" and "socialism."
When government steps in arbitrarily with individual subsidies, favoring one business over others, it sets inconsistent, unfair, illogical precedent, Palin wrote. Then, special interests creep in and manipulate markets. Republicans oppose this, remember?
Instead, we support competition on a level playing field, remember? Because we know special interest crony capitalism is on big fail.
Just ahead of Trumps formal announcement of the deal at the Carrier plant in Indianapolis on Thursday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Carrier would receive $7 million in tax breaks over 10 years in order to keep the 1,100 jobs in Indiana.

Trump has bizarre conversation with Pakistani leader
Snip:
Tensions between India and Pakistan have intensified, which leaves the United States in an awkward position. The Obama administration has made a concerted effort to strengthen U.S./India ties, while also delicately maintaining financial support for Pakistan.
Note, however, that President Obama is the first American president to ever visit India twice during his term, while Obama has not set foot in Pakistan.
Trump, who probably isnt aware of the diplomatic balancing act, apparently signaled to Sharif a very different U.S. posture towards Pakistan up to and including a presidential visit to the country.
If Trump does go to Pakistan, it risks alienating Indian allies. If Trump doesnt visit after telling Sharif he would, it will further complicate an already difficult Pakistani relationship. And I cant wait to hear what this means: I am ready and willing to play any role that you want me to play to address and find solutions to the outstanding problems.
Electing a president who doesnt know what hes doing carries real consequences.

Trump Supporters Are Suddenly So Concerned With Civility

With unemployment under 5% Trump is starting from a very rough position for him
Chances are unemployment will be higher during the next couple of elections especially since a recession is anticipated while he is in office. Recessions are bad news but if Hillary had been in she would have been blamed and we might have lost more house and senate seats. With Trump in office Democrats could do quite well in 2018 and 2020 depending on the timing of any pending recession. http://money.usnews.com/investing/articles/2016-11-10/5-reasons-donald-trumps-presidency-will-include-a-recession
I think all hell will break loose between Republicans tomorrow after Trump loses soundly
We keep thinking the insane Trump idiots are going to freak out on the left and the media and I am sure they will but I think they will be shouted down by the more "moderate" forces of the Republican Party. They have been holding their tongues and welling up with rage over the idiot who took over THEIR party and once he loses and looks like a fucking loser idiot they are going to come out in force, loud as shit! There may be some pockets of violence but that will only make things worse. The Romney, Bush, McCain wing of the Party is going to want to take control back and they will be telling the deplorable that they are nothing but fuck ups and should now shut the hell up! They are so dumb it could start more of a civil war between Republicans. Who knows, maybe a complete split? It should be entertaining to watch.

I keep hearing Black or Hispanic votes are up but what about white votes?
If they are up too then it could be a wash, though I think white women will cross over a lot more this cycle than during the last one. Is there any data on this someone can share? If the nut-burgers are so riled up they want an armed revolution I am guessing they are pretty motivated too. Lets just hope its a small segment that is that motivated.
The data that does look very positive is the high number of Dems coming out and if black and Hispanics are coming out at a higher % increase than whites then we should be in good shape.
