Trump says health care, border, jobs are top priorities

Trump’s visible disagreements within his party during the campaign could end up with Congress fighting him on issues.

Of course, what constitutes a mandate is itself a contentious topic in today’s deeply divided political world.

Trump has called for cutting the US corporate income tax rate to 15 percent from the current level of 35 percent; Ryan’s tax plan proposes going to 20 percent.

In the Senate, they seemed to secure at least 48 seats, up from 46, on Wednesday when the New Hampshire secretary of state called a close race for New Hampshire Governor Maggie Hassan, a Democrat, over incumbent Republican Senator Kelly Ayotte, although Ayotte had not conceded. “And we will work hand in hand to tackle the country’s biggest challenges”.

“I don’t think we should act as if we’ll be in the majority forever”, he said. “So I presume that Trump, if he follows the promises that he made on the campaign trail, will try to go down this road on the (Trans-Pacific Partnership) for example and maybe even try to roll back things like (the North American Free Trade Agreement)”.

He branded the scheme the “single worst piece of legislation” from the first two years of Barack Obama’s administration. Policy objectives could include cutting entitlement programs and undertaking a total overhaul of the tax code, including enacting tax cuts for wealthy Americans and corporations.

In the most catastrophic scenario for McConnell – the Democrats take the Senate and/or the House – he still could force Clinton and Senate Democrats to bargain.

McConnell also said overhauling the tax code and ramping up security along the U.S. -Mexico border are top priorities for the new Congress. Republicans now control the state Capitol and governorship in Kentucky, as well as the entire Congress and White House in Washington. Gabriel Sherman reported for NY magazine in August 2015 that the Trump campaign had been handing important exclusives to CNN, including one that had been promised to Fox News. This goes beyond appointing anti-choice justices to the Supreme Court.

“Donald Trump heard a voice in this country that no one else heard”, he said.

When asked to discuss those priorities, Trump answered, “We’re going to look very strongly at immigration, we’re going to look at the border, we’re going to look very strongly at health care, and we’re looking at jobs. He turned politics on its head”, Ryan said.

Trump is said to be considering Steve Bannon, his campaign chairman and a conservative media executive, and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus for the role.

“Many of his proposals would face a certain filibuster in the Senate“, predicted Jim Manley, a Democratic consultant and former top Senate aide.

That may even mean undoing legislation current President Barack Obama has passed, like the Affordable Care Act.

The Republican road ahead is not without pitfalls. Conway is a veteran Republican pollster who formed a strong rapport with the candidate after taking the helm of his campaign in the general election. who formed a strong rapport with the candidate after taking the helm of his campaign in the general election.

“I congratulate President-elect Trump on his historic election”.

Obamacare or ACTA has provided medical care coverage for over 20 million people, but according to Trump and Republicans, it has destabilized the insurance market and forced premiums to become more expensive. “It has to be more than pledges, it has to be a contract with America in writing so everyone knows that if we lie to you then you can hold us accountable”. They could repeal Obamacare, trash the Iran nuclear deal, dramatically loosen government regulations on the environment, energy and finance.

I will direct the Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator.
