1. TPP
i work in the tech industry, don't want to get NAFTA'd. it was announced dead a few days ago so in away trump, by winning, has already delivered.
2. Foreign Policy
hillary's Russian and Middle East policies were simply ******ed. she's a neocon and i don't happen to like nuclear wars or wasteful military spending.
3. Outsider/Anti-Establishment
not beholden to lobbyist, good ethics reform proposal, but more so everyone wrong with the country gunning against him means he's the right guy.Last edited by John Barron; 11-14-2016, 03:05 PM.

Originally posted by siablo14 View PostNo man. List them separately and be as specific as possible. I thought your two just referred to not getting in a war with Russia. When I think about Syria, I think about solving the problems in Syria too not just avoiding a war with Russia. Forcing the other members of NATO to pay more is also a specific issue by itself. Don't jumble them into one. Let's be as specific as possible so will be able to say whether he delivered these specifics actions that you wanted.Last edited by John Barron; 11-14-2016, 04:20 PM.

Originally posted by John Barron View Postsolving the problem in Syria is intertwined with war with Russia at this point. for Syria, he basically said let the country sort itself out. he wants to stop backing the rebels and install safe zones for refugees instead while he quote unquote bombs the **** out of ISIS, hopefully with Russia's help. having NATO members pay their share or the US reevaluates the treaty in which we pay less or back out is pretty straight forward, if neither happens then obviously he didn't deliver.
