Pelley is a wannabe and wishes he was reporting against the man back in the 60s.

Yep, he came off as very unprofessional. Some will say Trump is a clown and doesn't deserve respect from interviewers, but on a show like 60 minutes, if you are interviewing a leading presidential candidate, you do it with respect and professionalism. He failed on both accounts.

"Scott Pelley interviewed me. I thought Scott was terrific. I mean, it was a tough interview, but I thought he was very fair and I thought the piece was very good."

 
What's really pathetic is that, because Trump is the frontrunner, economists feel compelled to analyze this economic plan and take it seriously.

 
http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2015/09/29/washington-post-fact-checker-confirms-they-didnt-wait-for-details-in-trump-attack/

Tuesday morning the left-wing Post launched a fact check blasting Republican frontrunner Donald Trump and admitted that it did so before knowing all the, well, facts.

The Post has awarded Trump the full boat of four Pinocchios over the billionaire businessman’s claim that his just-revealed tax plan would cost the Republican a fortune.

And yet after calling Trump a liar, the Post admits that its own fact check is premature, that all the details of Trump’s tax plan, including a myriad of loopholes (that mostly benefit the wealthy and connected) Trump intends to close, are not yet known:

"Admittedly, there are many details that are still missing in Trump’s plan, so some readers may argue it is premature to issue a rating."

How can one do a fact check without having all the details?

Why would one do a fact check before waiting for all the details?

As with everything else our nine month investigation found, the Post’s motive is partisan, not truth.

Slashing rates but promising revenue neutrality through the phasing out of unspecified loopholes and deductions isn't a "plan" so much as it is snake oil hucksterism.

Sure, but let's keep in mind that this is no ordinary snake oil. This is Trump Snake Oil, the best and most terrific snake oil available on the market.

Transcript:

On the one hand, Brady did not say, point blank, that he is voting for Trump, nor did he say he endorses Trump’s policies. But he had two chances to distance himself from the nation’s most polarizing figure of the moment. He chose not to. 'That would be great' is as close to an official endorsement as you can get.

"Brady’s words carry weight. He is one of the most recognizable figures in the country. An entire subsection of New England, young and old, worships him. While he has every right to be friends with Trump, endorsing him for president means endorsing -- or at least not condemning -- what Trump stands for. Slapping a golf joke on the end doesn’t change that."

And here I thought, imagine me, my naivete, I thought it was okay, I thought an American citizen could support whoever he wanted without being derided for it. But apparently to Sports Illustrated it's not cool, and Brady's got some explaining to do here.

Does anybody remember when Sports Illustrated used to be a sports magazine? Does anybody remember that?

Limbaugh: Trump Tax Plan Similar to Reagan’s 1980s Tax Proposals

Partial transcript as follows:

Now, I went back, I mentioned to you that you can find, in the 1980s, you can find evidence of Ronald Reagan with similar tax proposals to what I have seen of the Trumpster’s. If you go back to May of 1985, after the first Reagan tax cuts, he proposed even more tax reform. He made a speech, and in the speech announcing his new proposals, which included slashing taxes for families, as Trump has done today, in that same speech Reagan said the following: “Under our new tax proposal the oil and gas industry will be asked to pick up a larger share of the national tax burden. The old oil depletion allowance will be dropped from the tax code except for wells producing less than 10 barrels a day. By eliminating this special preference, we’ll go a long way toward ensuring that those that earn their wealth in the oil industry will be subject to the same taxes as the rest of us.

“This is only fair. To continue our drive for energy independence, the current treatment of the costs of exploring and drilling for new oil will be maintained. We’re determined to cut back on special preferences that have too long favored some industries at the expense of others. We would repeal the investment tax credit and reform the depreciation system. Incentives for research and experimentation, however, would be preserved. There is one group of losers in our tax plan,” Reagan said in May of 1985. “– those individuals and corporations who are not paying their fair share or, for that matter, any share. These abuses cannot be tolerated. From now on, they shall pay a minimum tax. The free rides are over.”

So when I look at Trump’s tax proposal here — and again, it’s a cursory glance — it doesn’t look like a left-wing tax plan to me. It looks like and sounds like, in fact, like maybe some people that helped Reagan put his together are working for Trump. It’s that close. You know, oil and gas has been replaced by the carried interest hedge fund guy. But clearly there are people today, as there were then, who weren’t paying any tax. Reagan made sure that that was ended.

Current GOP primary frontrunner Donald Trump met with forty different religious leaders in Trump Tower on Monday to pray, and to reaffirm his support for Israel and for Christians under attack by the Left.

Pastor Darrell Scott was impressed with Trump, telling The Brody File that Trump listened attentively while nodding his head, “humbly” accepting criticisms from leaders asking him to tone down his rhetoric. “He has a very high regard and a very deep respect for men and woman of the cloth,” Scott said.

“I think Donald Trump changed the opinions of the African-American pastors that were in the room. They saw a side of him outside of the media depiction, and that they would give strong consideration in regards to supporting his candidacy,” Scott said.
“It’s kind of interesting, the dichotomy between the private Donald Trump and the public Donald Trump. He listened a lot more than he spoke. He never once interrupted me,” Palomarez told CNN

FOX News has learned exclusively the 26 member board decided unanimously to withhold a presidential endorsement… Union executives told me they want to sit down with Republican candidates, most notably, front-runner Donald Trump who has collaborated with unionized work forces across his real estate career.

First they ignored him. Then they mocked him. Then they tried tearing him down.

With each failure to destroy Donald Trump, the political experts and establishment stooges only made him stronger. And now they don’t have a clue what to do.
The most alarming thing about Donald Trump for these people is that they have, literally, thrown everything they can at the man. And, yet, he is still standing, completely unbowed. In the 3½ months since he launched his campaign, his popularity has only grown with every sling and arrow.

They have accused him of rape and tarred him as a racist. They smeared him as a traitor. And, yet, Teflon Don remains undented, the toupee-less man unruffled.
He just released the latest of three very serious policy position papers, this one on taxes. The first two were on illegal immigration and guns — filling out a veritable triumvirate of most important issues for all conservatives and many independents.

Each paper is deeply sophisticated and principled. And when was the last time a candidate for president got wall-to-wall coverage for releasing a policy paper?

Larry Kudlow on Trump's Tax Plan: I Really Like It

"One of the things I just love about it is the 15 percent corporate tax rate.

"Remember, China's is 25, so if you want to beat China, lower the corporate tax rate — and that's just what Donald Trump has done. And by the way, small businesses … would pay the same low 15 percent rate. That's one of the key features.

"And, by the way, cutting into corporate tax is huge for economic growth."

"It'll give us a gigantic advantage. Bring capital and businesses to the U.S., make us the most hospitable place to invest — and that's what Donald Trump has done."

Do we know how this is possible since most small businesses are passthrough entities that calculate tax using the individual tax rates?

Clinton voter registration canvasser Henry Engelstein was captured on tape using the meme photo to lure Nevada Hispanics in to register to vote

He told them in Spanish that Trump is 'a giant clown' and that 'Hillary Clinton is very good'

Nevada election law makes it a felony to advise anyone about how to vote when helping them register; penalties range from 1 to 4 years in prison

Video footage is conservative guerilla filmmaker James O'Keefe's latest offering; his organization says it won't release all its footage of Engelstein

Clinton campaign has no comment but O'Keefe's group has caught Nevada operation on camera before saying: 'Do whatever you can, whatever you can get away with, just do it'

That says something about the intelligence of the participants. They grouped idiot/stupid/dumb together. People who don't like his policies call him dumb, but like we saw on Kimmel, if they thought his policies were Hilary's, they'd agree with them (maybe not immigration) It's lazy to call him, or Hilary for that matter, dumb. I agree with many of the other words: arrogant, obnoxious, rude, egotistical, narcissistic.

Still...dumb > liar

Increasing anti-H1B and now anti-refugee rhetoric. Are we seeing a shift in conservative corners toward being anti-legal immigration?
