I don't see Mr. Trump contributing to the debate that need to take place - in 2010 and again 2012 -
That is:
1. What has the current administration done well? (My opinion is not much other that shooting the Somali pirates)
2. What is the best alternative to the present direction?

He is just repeating the same tired cliche lines
1. "There's so much 'HATRED' - I don't think hatred is the core emotion, feeling, sentiment, intellectual motivation for the large majority of those that oppose the direction our country is headed under Obama/Pelosi/Reed/Democrat governance.

2. "We're fighting wars and repairing countries where we don't belong" - only a slight variation on "Bush started two wars and didn't pay for them. "

A couple of thoughts:

1. This subject is one of the many reasons healthcare (and most other choices for that matter) should remain in the private sector marketplace with personal choice = Freedom driving the market.

2. If and when healthcare is completely socialized/single payer then there will be no way to avoid the cost/benefit decisions that have been labeled 'Death Panels'.

3. I was surprised at Mr. Gates inability to coherently articulate his point. The discussion reminds me of a couple of college students sitting around shooting from the hip on subjects such as the meaning of life, politics, religion, etc. Did they photoshop the bong out of the video?

A good laugh. At the end of the play I counted 8 of the 11 defensive players in the picture and only the running back from the offensive team.

Would someone with firearm and or hostage training (law enforcement, security, military) please comment on the technique this woman used.
I was impressed by:
1.The way she casually cleared her shirt tail to gain access to her weapon
2. The decisiveness and speed of her action, the way she moved so quickly towards the hostage taker
3. It appears she fires the first shot two handed and the three other shots with just her right
4. The recoil seems minimal and controlled - I'm guessing she is using a 9mm weapon.

So much can be learned from the way Milton Friedman engages this young man.
He is respectful, logical, interactive (clarifies by asking questions), and effective
He seeks to engage, provoke thought, teach, and persuade

He doesn't raise his voice,call him names, or belittle him (a la Rush Limbaugh and Michael Medved)
He isn't bombastic or sarcastic (a la Mike Gallagher and Hugh Hewitt)
He doesn't use canned repetitive rhetoric and catchy talking points (a la Shawn Hannity)
He doesn't make fun of the young man (a la Laura Ingram)
He doesn't make ridiculous facial expressions (a la Glenn Beck)

Bill Bennett, Dennis Pragert, Walter E. Williams, and Thomas Sowell are present day examples of conservatives that follow Dr. Friedman's manor of debate.

Why pull for the rich?
I remember when Jack Nicklaus was tearing it up in the 70's. During a particularly dominant streak an announcer
asked Lee Trevino what he thought about Nicklaus's dominance. Trevino in his unimitable way replied: "I say let the big dog eat". Trevino (7th grade education) understood economics a lot better than this guy.

By the way, does the college professor ever get to talk?

This guy needs to take a year off and open a small business (maybe a lemonade stand) employing all his economic genius.
