  1. “This from NewsMax online:
    Donald Trump said he would be a different person if he is elected president. Trump said that as president he would be less combative but remain what he called a cheerleader for the United States and a foe of political correctness. “I would probably not talk as much,” Trump said. However, “I would be very enthusiastic, like I am right now, toward the country. We need spirit. We need a cheerleader.”

    I know how it is. When I ran for president, I wasn’t going to change my personality,
    it was my appearance.
    I was going to look like Burt Lancaster.

    Seriously here: Trump is right in that our country needs spirit. Not a cheerleader, but real hope. A religious (Christian) revival, but also hope for our country. We are almost 20 trillion in debt. Sane people care. There isn’t that much money and soon all of our income will go to servicing that debt

    Or, we can default.

    If, on the other hand, you’re a libertarian who mainly cares about cutting taxes and regulations while also eliminating obstacles to the free flow of people (immigration) and products (international trade), then the home you’ve likely made in the Republican Party might become much less hospitable.

    As for those consistent libertarians who believe in minimizing government across the board, they’re used to feeling ideologically homeless in our political system, with each party upholding and rejecting different elements of the libertarian agenda. …”
