Heck -- I can see right through him already.

This is hate speech. Problem is, hate speech was only enacted to prosecute non-liberals so you should be at ease.
I was actually referring to the poster's signature sentence.

Face palm. How do you think he's gonna keep the undocumenteds out? Look to their skin color? Figure it out, just once.

You asked for an example, you got one. You would be best not to facepalm while all that egg is there.

So he's planning on keeping data bases...and not what you typed. What's it called for undocumenteds? E-Verify? He's mentioned E-Verify as something he's for on numerous occasions.

Another federal expense. How does Trump plan on paying down the debt, again? Yeah, I know, hiring out US troops and capturing oil and other resources. What criterion will Trump use to hire US troops or steal resources? Hire to the highest bidder? Hire only to allies? Steal an enemy's resources? What?

Show me one corrupt company/politician/nation that Trump has "exposed" in a meaningful "done something about it" way?
I think Trump does so good because he's the Reality Show candidate and Americans love them some reality TV.

Anyone can say "I plan to stop corruption." See? I just did it.
I've actually read his "plans" for dealing with things like this and most of them consist of the same kind of bullying that the current president gets called on the carpet for constantly. What is the difference?
I am a firm believer in the proof being in the witnessing of works. Until his works are proven, his words mean about as much as his political track record.

As far as transparency. I believe Trump will do the same as any other presidential candidate. Promise a lot, take a lot of credit for his accomplishments, and sweep his failures and wrong doing under the rug.

Wouldn't someone have to get in first, before you can see "his or her" works? All he can do is talk right now, that's what campaigning is. I think he gives just about as much if not more detail as every other candidate when it come to specifics on any topic.

Why? It has nothing to do with Trump, it doesn't matter who is elected, none of them are going to be transparent. In fact, based on past performance, Hillary might even be worse.

I think it does have something to do with who is in charge. Everyone else that has been in charge has been bought and paid for by special interest. He is not, i believe that is a huge factor that people seems to under credit. Apparently though, you are correct according to the poll. So him not being to be bought means nothing?

Isn't there already a database of American Citizens called the Social Security Number?

He's going to be no more transparent than he was acting as a CEO. He doesn't have to be and he doesn't want to be. Of course, the other candidates don't want to be either and even those who make transparency a part of their campaign promises turn out to be entirely non-transparent. This really is a silly argument. No politician is going to be any more transparent than they are forced to be by the voter.

How? Lower our expenses and increase our income. Not a hard concept. Are you saying it cant be done?

His plan to track Muslims across the country was reversed. Live with his veering, squirm as you may.

It's a matter of simple arithmetic that if he had merely invested daddy's money at the going rate and left it alone, he'd be twice as rich as he is.
 
There is some truth to this, Manc. At least, he didn't give it away like most politicians.

Or be broke, there is still risk and he has taken plenty in order to get to where he is. Doesn't make since to try and downplay turning millions into multi billions as if anyone could have done it.

If you say so. Doesn't make any sense. Why would Trump hold to his E-Verify system to track undocumenteds and not track Muslims that came into the US knowing that undocumenteds are more popular in the US than Muslims? Or is that popularity a tie?

Here is a solution he supported to do that
Donald Trump on the Issues

One-time 14.25% tax on wealth, to erase national debt. (Nov 1999)

If there is a politician who would be most transparent, it would be, IMO, The Donald. His views haven't changed. His speeches are the same. He isn't dependent on donors. Question is: who will he be dependent on?

Everything he said in that video sounded reasonable to me. Am i missing something?
 
No, transparency would get worse. He would deal with situations like the mafia.
