Let’s try a different take: what will Clinton bring to the table and what will Trump bring to the table, notwithstanding what they won’t bring?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) September 27th, 2016

Not stating the negatives they will haul to the White House, what will Hilary or Trump bring if they prevail in the election?

You ain’t from around these parts, are ya? Your use of the language is atrocious!
What either of them might bring to the table will be about the same as the other. And that is whatever their party deems most advantageous. Democrats for the poor, the environment, for all. The Republicans for the rich.

^ Democrats for the poor, the environment, for all. The Republicans for the rich.
In what specific ways?

Both democrats and republicans are completely self serving.

^ Both or either or? Will they do it by some policy or action or just from their antics?

The mixture of opposites. Will hopefully disappear when the election is over .

^ [All above] You mean all these debates, and all this campaigning they still have not articulated to any of you what they will bring, such as, I will bring jobs and do so this way, this way, and that way, or I will slash spending by doing this or that? I am getting to believe I have not missed one damn thing not listening to any of them, because for those of you who have, they seemed to have told you nothing in specific of what they are going to bring to the White House and how it will help. If they can’t do that, why vote for them?

@Hypocrisy_Central Well Trump did say that he is for the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to Texas. As long as the States gets a cut. I would go for that.

^ That is a plus how, more jobs, more revenue for the state, and how would that help them, less dependence on Saudi oil, and does that make it cheaper at the pump for Larry Lunchmeat?

Hillary brings a bipartisan approach.
Trump brings tax cuts for the rich.
Honestly we won’t win with either. The house and the senate will be ruled by the same old people and the republicans and they technically control the purse strings. If Hillary wins, they will block her at every turn. But she may be able to get a few things to go through, but not enough to make a difference. If Donald wins, they will have a blank check to do everything they ever wanted to do once Trump gets his blank check to never pay taxes again. If he were really interested in foreign policy he would’ve been prepared on debate night. He has no interests to learn because he doesn’t plan to get involved in any of it. If he did plan to get involved, he would’ve learned a lot more by now.

That is all good on what they can’t do won’t do, but I am more interested on what you think they will do. Such as, you say Hilary will bring more of a bipartisan approach to the White House, OK, say she does, what plus is that going to make to those in the ;burbs? Trump cuts the taxes on the rich, does the mean they will do more investing, be bigger philanthropist, or just buy a few more Bentleys? If so, how is that a plus?

On Trump. Tax breaks for the rich won’t benefit anyone but the rich. It won’t mean more jobs. Trickle down economics didn’t work before. The rich got richer, laid off a lot of people and interest rates increased. Regan did it in the 80’s. and Trump plans to give them bigger tax breaks. He knows that big business is only obligated to their share holders. To them, that translates to passing the savings to themselves.
On Hillary, I couldn’t say exactly what will happen. It really depends on whether Democrats can ever get a hold of the house or Senate and who she appoints for Justices. It will be an uphill battle fight every inch of the way. But she’s smart and she is actually admired by Democrats and some Republicans so she may be able to get some deals. Which one is a guess. I think the deals most likely to pass would be on infrastructure. It is a bad deal to continue to let our roads and railways and nuclear capabilities crumble. I also hope she is successful, trying to make us more energy efficient.

Costa Rica is 100 percent solar, and windpower efficient. They are free from using gas to run their cities. Only their cars run on gas. They are smaller than we are but they also are poorer and have still managed to mostly get off the oil teat. But big oil in the US will fight that. If we didn’t need oil to run our country. That will help replace coal jobs and give tons of employment here in the states. Especially if we manufacture all those windmills, and solar panels here. Oil isn’t going to last forever. We need to plan on new sources and think of our environment. But she will have to fight all those nay sayers who don’t believe in science except for when funding weapons of mass destruction.
