Tuesday  3 May 2016   / Hour 1, Block A:  Steve Moore, in re:   Cruz suspends his campaign; this speaks well of his character: he ran a tough campaign and has made the wise and gallant decision.  Trump has a lot of good ideas, needs to underline his economic policy and his national security policy.  Yes, Trump is not a favorite of women; in fact, many GOP women are intending simply not to vote. Need to clear that up.
Tuesday  3 May 2016   / Hour 1, Block B:  Steve Moore, in re:   JB: Trump speaks against China, Japan, Canada and Mexico.  China is a hostile power; the other three are not.  LK: However, Mexico is an uncertain ally – relations wax and wane.  Of the three, only Canada plays by the rules; Trump says our wage-earners deserves some help. I’m hopeful about Trump’s “negotiating” stance.  SM: A lot of Americans think that Pres Obama is not in favor of America as his primary interest – the rest of the world is laughing at us.  I also am a free-trader. But I’m glad that Trump will negotiate in a tough way.  I disagree about Mexico: we’ve got to have free trade with Mexico.   LK: Voters want a strong  person who puts America first.  Let’s negotiate bilaterally if necessary – the WTO is big mistake – Trump as president must himself sit at the table to negotiate. Mexico could do a lot more on drugs, and on legal immigration.  SM: Hillary went to a cola-mining town and dismissively, arrogantly, said, “Oh, we’ll just replace all the mining jobs with green-energy jobs.”  How cruel – these  are people out of work and down on their luck!  LK: Trump is a great pro-energy hawk.  JB: Trump alienate women; his only chance is to talk pocketbook issues. LK: He alienated people of color.
