And those are, basically, the three things were going to have to get out. I got them out early and strong, and a lot of people think the poll numbers are going to go up because of that. Trish he had a ton of momentum as he came into that debate. He was talking about jobs, the economy, trade, basically his sweet spot, and he hit clinton here, really painting her as a failed politician. Watch this. The world [applause] let me tell you, let me tell you, hillary has experience, but its bad experience. We have made so many bad deal cans during the last [applause] so shes got experience, that i agree. Trish now while Hillary Clinton tried to portray him here as a selfish rich guy, take a peek maybe he doesnt want the American People, all of you watching tonight, to know that hes paid nothing in federal taxes, was because the only years that anybodys ever seen were a couple of years when he had to turn them over to state authorities because he was trying to get a casino license, and they show
Need to leave. Any comments on that. Steve, do you want to start . Sure, i can address that. I do not think shifting to a territorial system is right. The two problems that weve highlighted here are earning stripping and the deferred accumulated earnings of these controlled foreign corporations. If we shift to a territorial system in which a u. S.

But in the context of the current debate, first of all, can i ask you to ask would the measures that steve and steve have put on the table be effective and then we can go beyond that to say should treasury take it. Lets start with the effective. So the answer is i dont think so. But theres an overarching point before i get back into the weeds which is why are we trying to raise the bar so it will be harder for companies to leave the United States. Why arent we trying to do something to make it more attractive for t
I would say right now, its the best in terms of being united that its been since we began. Were doing incredibly well. Trump has been under fire from members of his own party distracting voters straying off the Hillary Clinton message and seemingly picking fights with other Republican Leaders like House Speaker paul ryan who says hes distressed trump is not focusing all his attacks on Hillary Clinton, but this morning, Donald Trumps campaign chief said theyve righted the ship, and the message is clear. The Campaign Messages are worked out. The themes of this campaign are settled. We know will he follow them, is the question . Well i think he is trying messages out on the campaign trail. Hes been very successful in the primaries. He draws his strength and his messages from the interaction he has with the public, and hes doing that right now. So well see today in portland, maine f donald trump stays on message or whether he strays. Jason carroll, our national correspondent, is there in p
We will debate whether trumps tough talk and propolice policies deserve the credit. Meanwhile, the establishment media can understand they kill still cannot understand why President Trump space still supports this president. We will examine whether the medias problem is the messenger themselves. Gold star parents who lost their navy seals on in a firefight credit eight key change by President Trump for saving military lives on the battlefield this very day.
