It is time that each of the two Democrat nominees focus part of their attention and rhetoric on the general election and not just the primary. It is a virtual certainty that the Republicans will control the House of Representatives and that the speaker will be Paul Ryan. Despite the growing amount of evidence, Ryan refuses to believe that trickle down economics does not work. Each of the three Republican nominees have proposed tax plans primarily based on giving tax breaks to the wealthy, including wealthy corporations and either eliminating or cutting back taxation of capital gains. Such plans would provide no stimulus. In fact, they would diminish aggregate demand by transferring even more wealth from those with high marginal consumption
The democrats need to focus their attention on Ted Cruz, not Donald Trump. Let the Republicans attack Donald Trump, it's more effective anyway. Ted Cruz provides a nice target. Not only are his policies vulnerable, his sanctimonious, morally superior persona is unattractive to most. Even his new Republican supporters are holding their nose. Plus, Cruz's record is one of obstruction, not creation.
Speaking of Trump, Have you noticed how Chris Christie stands behind andto the right of Donald Trump when he lectures to the press. Christie has this vacant look on his face reminding one of a ventriloquist dummy. I'm waiting for Trump to reach back, grab and hold up Christie to see if Christie can talk without Trump's lips moving.
