[TheRealThing]

I never said that anybody was unfit to quote. I related what Laffer has said about Trump. I think that he is an optimist because he dismisses the stupid things that Trump says as "showmanship" and believes the things that Trump has proposed with which he personally agrees. Has Laffer endorsed Trump's idea that this country will never default on its public debt because we can always just print more money? Or has Laffer dismissed that statement as Trump just saying things that he does not really believe?

I am a fan of Art Laffer and supply side economics. Where I part ways with Laffer is that I actually believe that Trump believes many of the stupid things that he says. Like I said, Laffer is an optimist. I guess I am not.

If I chose to believe only the things Trump says with which I agree, I would be waving pom-poms for him too. I am not to going to cherry pick Trump's positions just so I can justify voting for another bad Republican candidate.

According to Trump, he is counting on getting a large share of Bernie Sanders' supporters to vote for him in November. How do you think he plans on doing that? Does he plan to convert those socialists into conservatives over the next 6 months?

Yeah you are cherry picking. I mean this is a thread about the case against Trump, right? You're picking out what could be construed to be negative. And I would say that is the difference between you and Laffer, he's more the pragmatist. I just cannot help but take his lead on Trump's financial plan knowing what I do about his role in the Reagan Administration. Steve Moore is no exception either, he is on board 100%.

Trump will get Sanders supporters for the obvious. Hillary cannot be trusted and nobody likes her. Surely you're not suggesting the brain dead Democrat voting block have suddenly awakened, and having done their homework, are rolling the dice in hopes Trump is faking everything he's been campaigning on are you? That would be trading one liar for another.
