Jack Welch on why he's voting for Trump
Matthew J. Belvedere   
46 Mins Ago

Jack Welch, the former GE chief and longtime Republican supporter, told CNBC on Tuesday he's voting for Donald Trump because he likes the real estate mogul's policies on tax reform, government regulations and national security more than those of Hillary Clinton.

Welch was late to the Trump camp, first supporting Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who failed to secure the GOP presidential nomination.

In a "Squawk Box" interview, Welch provided a detailed argument for Trump's policies.

Jack Welch is entitled to do whatever he wishes with his vote.  I won't be joining him!

Good reasons...with a GOP Congress to implement the needed reforms.

The man is obviously a moron.   :whistle:

John Francis "Jack" Welch, Jr. is a retired American business executive, author, and chemical engineer. He was chairman and CEO of General Electric between 1981 and 2001. During his tenure at GE, the company's value rose 4,000%. Wikipedia

Yeah, an immoral, godless moron.   000hehehehe

Does Welch like Trump's  new entitlement, Ivankacare?  His refusal to reform the other large drains on the federal budget, SS, Medicare and Medicaid?

Welch never failed to ask for government largesse when it benefitted GE, so it's no surprise he loves a big government clown like Trump.

At least, Trump is not for TPP and shipping jobs overseas. Never, unlike some who shifted positions.

No, he's a man who preferred Cruz when he had the opportunity to evaluate both, and who now chooses to believe that Trump will be faithful to the positions he (Welch) has outlined.  Nothing moronic about it, although I don't share his faith in Trump's fidelity.

When Welch regularly posts anti-Cruz and anti-Cruz-supporter snark in the belief that it serves some useful purpose, *then* he'll be a moron.

Trump can't do anything about jobs shipped overseas.  That would continue no matter who is president. 

And the TPP will likley be passed in the lame duck session of Congress after the elections.

Welch got hammered by some when he supported Cruz, and will probably be hammered by some for supporting Trump.
So it goes.
He has every right to support, or not, anyone he likes, as well as all of us do.

It's been my experience that Presidents who think they're more powerful than Economics 101 get their rumps handed to them.

And as my late, great Macro professor once said, "There are no free lunches!!!"

Good old Dr. Erwin Graue, my first faculty advisor at Gonzaga. He was a sprightly 77 when we first met, and he was a terror as a professor. There was nowhere to hide in his class, as I was one of five students. God help you if you gave the wrong answer to one of his questions.

That will continue until the Washington elites start hacking at the ROOT of the problem instead of the branches!

Sadly yes! Given the completely FECKLESS nature of the current congress!
