Donald Trump Holds a Baby as He Reveals Paid Leave and Childcare Plans for Moms

@CatherineofAragon

Not as uncomfortable as I know it is for you to actively oppose him, knowing that Coffin Hillary is the alternative.

Perhaps if Trump had more support on the right he wouldn't have to go looking for it on the left. 

@Longmire

"Not as" uncomfortable?  Thank you for having the honesty to admit it.  Most Trump supporters won't do that.

Why on earth would he have more support from the right for his leftist positions?  It's obvious, isn't it?  Hillary and her friend/donor/defender are no different.

For the record, it's like breathing good, sweet, fresh air to oppose Trump.  It's fantastic.  I wouldn't have it any other way.

Just heard a snippet on the radio that Trump says Hitlary's plan doesn't go far enough. Looks like the Trumpettes are very comfortable being to the LEFT of her on big govt' policies........because they are all Marxists shills. 

It's rarely a good idea to rely on "snippets" @Frank Cannon.  It's never good for your blood pressure and rarely gives you the facts. 

Here are facts:

Donald J. Trump’s Plan Is More Complete Than Hillary Clinton’s Plan

Point One:
Hillary Clinton does not have a plan to provide relief to most
Americans faced with high child care costs. She claims she wants to cap a
family’s child care expense at 10 percent of income, but provides no details.
The Trump plan would provide relief to every working- and middle-income
earner who has child care expenses. For example, the Trump plan would
reduce taxes by $840 per year a family for earning $70,000 per year in the 12
percent tax bracket with $7,000 in child care expenses; Hillary Clinton’s plan
would provide no relief to this family.

Point Two:
Hillary Clinton prefers institutional child care that does not meet
the needs of workers in rural areas or who have schedules that require
working on a night shift or on call. The Trump plan would give states the
flexibility to establish standards that fit the needs of state residents without
compromising quality.

Point Three:
Hillary Clinton would force businesses to pay for 12 weeks of
fully-paid family leave at their expense. The Trump plan proposes 6 weeks of
partial pay through the existing Unemployment Insurance system, fully paid
for within the program.

Only a leftist would think this is a good idea.

Another severely Conservative policy from Donny and his ultra Left campaign advisor Ivanka.

Can any Trump supporters explain to me why this is even remotely good for the country? How is this affordable? Why are you supporting a plank that was in the Lib Lefts platform for decades?

First thought on reading the thread title: "Was he contagious? No, wait, that was Hillary."

Second thought on reading the thread title: "Did he eat it?"

OK, enough comedy. Serious thought:

If you propose this kind of program, you are not in any way, shape, or form, a "Big Government is the problem" kind of Conservative. Instead, if you propose, or support, this kind of program, then you are a "Big Government can solve all of life's problems" kind of Socialist Leftist. Full stop, no argument, that's all.

All of the Trumpists will support it of course, because they're ok with Big Government just so long as "their guy" is in charge of it.  Or in other words, the only principle that Trumpists consistently adhere to: It's OK when our guy does it!

Okay, but none of the answers the nuts and bolts of the real deal.

This is not in the Constitution and thereby it becomes a 10th amendment issue.
Period.
Anything outside of this is a liberal position.

Whether it is Trump's plan, Clinton's plan, Groucho Marx's plan, or Marvin the Martian's plan, it is government overreach, and a  liberal position.

[XenaLee]

It's hilarious watching the Trump camp go through pretzel gymnastics in order to justify his leftist-Democrat-like liberal policies....ever morphing to the left as his campaign "progresses". 

What they fail to gleen is....many folks will just vote for the one with the MOST liberal stance (ie Hillary) rather than the reverse.  They will figure, what the hell, might as well.  Since most folks have already figured out what they will get with Hillary.  With Trump it's an "anything goes" and up in the air thing.  And the "unknown factor" is a thing to be feared in this era of uncertainty.  (better the devil you know)

I think it's safe to say that, as this election cycle has progressed, the once-conservative Trumpsters have blown past the pretzel stage to full-blown funnel-cake logic. It's been an interesting process to observe.

I have to give Trump credit for understanding that he would be able to carry people along as he has done, separating them for the moorings of their "conservative convictions" by wooing them with sweet nothin's until which time he would start to reveal his big government plans for the nation. They're already so emotionally invested in him, where are they gonna go??

Could it be that we NeverTrumpers are the ones Trump can shoot on 5th Avenue and have the Trumpsters cheer?

Well hell. That's much better. I see his massive give a way to do this is far more responsible than Hitlary's. That makes it so much better to push this program that no one was asking for except for Liberal elites.

[LMAO]

. They're already so emotionally invested in him, where are they gonna go??

This sums up what we are seeing here by his dedicated supporters. It isn't easy giving up something that you have so much emotion invested in. Think of it as a woman who has been married for a long time to a man that has beat her. The justifications she gives for staying with her abuser. They sound illogical to everyone else, but for her, they make sense

[Sanguine]

I was listening to Mark Levin on the way home and he made an excellent point: how can we claim to love our children and grandchildren and those yet to be born if we are saddling them with a $17 billion debt and allow to pass yet another law that will accelerate the decrease of their chances for life, liberty and pursuit of happiness by burdening them with yet more intrusive Federal legislation?

Of course it's more complete. More nanny state giveaways to the wealthy, primarily, though it does something for the middle class and gives direct cash payments to those who pay no taxes.

Trumpkins are trying to pass this off as self-financing but, of course, that's pure bullshit.  It will cost, at a minimum, $20 billion a year and, like every other entitlement, will only grow.

Perfect analogy. Note my tagline.

Gosh RIV, it does appear that the snippet was right. On Donny's own website he says that his plan is more complete. For people slow on the uptake, it means it does go further than Hitlary's....

How can you go there about support from the right and not break out laughing? The Donald and all his sTrumpettes told us from the beginning that we weren't needed, weren't wanted, called us all sorts of vile things and you can say "Perhaps if Trump had more support on the right he wouldn't have to go looking for it on the left." and actually expect to taken seriously? It is to laugh! Trump goes looking for support from the left because that's his comfort zone, plain and simple.

[AllThatJazzZ]

Nothing there. ???

[Chosen Daughter]

Only a leftist would think this is a good idea.

I would say with absolute certainty at this point I would rather that Hillary wins.  Four years of Hillary and maybe we can return to Conservatism.  If Trump wins there is absolutely no chance of ever returning.

When I think of Trump holding a baby, I always picture that scene with Martin Sheen in the movie The Dead Zone where the Greg Stillson character grabs a baby to shield himself from an assassin.

[Smokin Joe]

Well, props to Donny. One prop in the right arm, one prop in the left arm...

Only they don't have a 'honeymoon phase' coming...just another thrashing.
