I don't care about capital gains or hedge funds, but as far as I am aware that's not going to go down well for people who are into those things.

Indeed. Kasich has been a dependable governor, and is more fiscally conservative than Bush if we want to go into those metrics. That said, Kasich always looks like a "RINO", so it gives candidates easy opportunities to pounce on him.

He said that his plan would be "so much better than Obamacare". That is literally the only thing Trump has said on health care.

Actually he has said a lot.

Carson, what the fuck?!

Also, you're fucking over businesses here in the U.S.; you're effectively, with your plan, making it more tempting to have a company's HQ overseas.

Oh no they won't. Americans know that Bush didn't keep us safe. When everyone says that he did when Americans know he didn't, well, a few more will migrate over to Trump. Couple that with his constant criticism of the Iraq War and Trump has a very potent message that will reach a lot of people.
You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

It doesn't have to make sense since Carson isn't in this to become President. He's here to raise his speaking fees and sell books.

Oh here we go. This is a topic that is interesting.

Cruz is a dipshit. Trump is meh, fucking blowhard. Rubio is alright I guess.

Cruz, you're a hypocrite. You wanted it to pass, except you wanted to amend it.
