Eisenhower these days would be viewed as a far radical leftist. I mean, the federal gummint building an interstate freeway system?
That borders on Communism --don’t it?

That's the strange thing: Only a Great Country could tackle something like the US Interstate Highway System. Does that mean Donald Trump wants to make America the kind of country that can take on big government projects?

Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...

I guess we'll have to do it, since the Mexicans refuse to pay for it.
Interesting that Republicans actually DO want Big Government to take on Big Projects. (Just as long as a Republican is doing it, and they get Haliburton to hire all non-union labor.) Seems a bit New Deal to me.

Lets assume Trump wins the general. Which he won’t. But for “fun” let’s say he does.
I could see him attempting to rebuild failing infrastructure and not necessarily The Wall. He might be able to drop the wall idea by proclaiming it unfeasible. Hey-- he can and does say anything and everything that pops into his head. And he is “The Builder” right? A hotel here, a golf course there, and then bridges to everywhere.
All new infrastructure would be required to have a huge T be slapped on the sides in red, white, and blue.
It would certainly be a wild and unpredictable adventure with Trump at the helm. But it’s not going to happen.

Trump's new book: The Art of the New Deal: Lubing America with Snake Oil.
You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.

Looks like Hillary's Southern Strategy is working well - running as Mrs. Bill gets a lot of votes!

I think most Democrats in the deep south are Black. Hence the support for Hillary, since they LOVE Bill.
