    Salt, see how very good you are when you make a valid point and just don't attack?  Oh wait.  You can't. This is Just Asking's question.

    Securing the border  = spending billions on walls/manpower/etc. which can be driven around, tunneled under, climbed over, or ignored (because about 1/2 of all illegal immigrants are legal immigrants who overstay their legal visas).

    Term limits + no pensions = The very rich won't bother buying the government because ONLY the very rich would bother running for office.

    In short, your vision of America is a walled-off country completely run by rich oligarchs. And you claim TEH STOOPID EBIL LIBRUHLZ are the ones who want to turn America into a Communist State?....;-D...

    Make abortion illegal -- That would require a consitutional amendment overturning Roe v. Wade. Even if you pulled that off, all it would mean is rich people would travel to Canada, England, Costa Rica, etc. while 2,000 - 3,000 poor women every year would die from back-alley abortions. Do you really want to increase social inequality that way?

    Renegotiate trade deals -- And what if our trading partners refuse? Are you ready for a tariff war and a US populace pissed of that all the cheap s**t they buy at Wal-mart is no longer there?

    Passing Kate's law -- Who pays for the MASSIVE increase in prison space you'll need to house all the prisoners?

    Secure the border -- How? Who pays for it? How does it stop the 1/2 of all illegal immigrants who visit legally and then overstay their visas?

    Cut taxes -- You've already committed to at least two MASSIVE spending increases, China will probably quit buying US debt once the tariff wars start, and you want to cut taxes (thereby ballooning the federal deficit). How does that math work?

    Raise taxes on businesses who employ part-timers: You do realize that will balloon the ranks of the unemployed, don't you? Are you planning to massively increase unemployment benefits, provide government jobs for displaced workers, or are you simply going to let them starve to death?

    It's amazing how people who think they know what they want to do as President haven't spent even 30 seconds checking their plans against the real world.

    In all fairness, this was asked as a fun question. How many people have looked up how things tie together? I think most people put on their rose-colored glasses for this one. You can't possibly map out an entire country in a matter of minutes for a question on answerMug.

    I have been doing a lot of work for a drug defense lawyer lately and I can't disagree with that, but what about hard drugs? Cocaine, Meth, etc? Eh... maybe that's something best left for another question. I'm sure it could go on for pages.
