What Trump Must Do to Win the Presidency

ABC_donald_trump_this_week_jt_130811_16x9_992Donald Trump has catapulted to the lead in the race for the Republican presidential nomination by focusing on two popular issues:

*Proposing the building of a wall along the Mexican border to stem the overwhelming influx of illegal immigration,

*Attacking the Stalinesque doctrine of “political correctness” that increasingly inhibits freedom of expression in the U.S.

His approach has been very effective so far.

But it’s time for Trump to open up a new offensive front.

If I had his ear, as I have once or twice in the past, I would advise Trump to say, as the future president, he would refuse to raise the debt limit to force Washington to live within its means like every American family and business is forced to do. He should say that $18 trillion is too much, and that continued borrowing by the federal government is completely unsustainable. The only way to dig out of this hole is to stop borrowing, and, as president, he will not request or approve any future hike in the debt limit.

He should also allay fears on Wall Street that such an action will result in a default by ensuring that Washington, under his leadership, will continue to service the existing debt.

And, lastly, he should characterize this action as a great opportunity to return to constitutionally limited government by cutting government spending and programs that never should have been started in the first place. (Read more from “What Trump Must Do to Win the Presidency” HERE)
