I agree with trump that the Iraq war was a mistake.

I agree with that too, I believe it will wind up being one of the greatest military mistakes of recent time. We had taken over 10 years to try to stabilize Iraq and provide a military presence that basically collapsed as soon as we were not there will all of our force. I was in the military and withing 6 months was fully trained and expected to serve my country. That NEVER happened in Iraq. 

I WILL say that the Bush I Iraq war was done the way it should have been done and did not leave the area totally destabilized. 


 

I agree with him when he says a lot of current Washington politicians are incompetent.

I agree with his position of neutrality between Israel and Palestine.

As pie in the sky as it may be, I agree with his thoughts on partnering with Russia to fight ISIS

Hard to say just WHAT he wants. He just wants to jump on the Repeal Obamacare bandwagon. There are obviously a LOT of things that need to change with the ACA to make it better, but that is true of overall ALL of health care, its delivery, and how things are priced. 

Universal health care should ALWAYS be the goal.

The problem with Drumpf is that he says things that you may agree or disagree with (I tend to disagree more than agree with him), but regardless of how you feel about his talking points about issues, he does not have any viable detailed plans formulated that he can carry through to fruition. Talk is cheap, and Drumpf can talk . . . A lot . . . Action speaks louder than words, and Drumpf has not shown his ability to get things done. He's a lot better, and seems to enjoy, insulting other people more than collaborating to get things done.

I agree with Mr Trump again on SOME of his comments pertaining to welfare. Welfare started out to help the needy but has transformed into something that has actually perpetuated that state in many instances. There has been an old saying of "a helping hand vs a handout" and perhaps that best explains how the system should work. Does Mr Trump have a detailed solution of how to fix this. Again NO. But, I believe it is more and more a pervasive feeling that the system is broken and needs fixed.
