You make sure the plan throws a few crumbs to the middle class, remember that $600 for a MFJ return? And you showcase the Hell out of those cuts and hide the big cuts to the rich which is the real meat of your plan.
Sure W's cuts were like this. But did he release a detailed plan for them, with numbers, more than a year before the 2000 election?

I don't know.

I can remember him showcasing the middle class cuts by cherry picking families that were in the sweet spot for breaks as examples. I can't remember when it was though. Might have been during the campaign, might have been after he was elected and trying to sell it.

I am still surprised that Jeb! actually released a tax plan as part of his campaign. If he is the nominee, his plan if going to get a lot more scrutiny and will be compared to Bush2's plan. Will not be easy to play it down.

Maybe it was an act of desperation on Jeb's part. Funders are wavering, he puts out the plan to show he is utterly COMMITTED to what they want.

If the Republican establishment is able to take Trump down, as they are trying to by any means possible, then I believe the nominee will be Jeb Bush.
Maybe a total nut job like Alan Keyes or Alllen West.

Possibly, but he is less prepared for Washington than either Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, or Barak Obama were.
His illusions coupled with his inexperience in politics would be an absolute disaster, and could lead to the creation of a fringe right shadow gov't with him as figurehead.

"Muslim Training Camps": Trump Birtherism Alive At New Hampshire Town Meeting

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...b08820d918202a

Perhaps Trump did not think he would run into an actual true believer. Perhaps Trump is a bit embarrassed by birther a stormtrooper. It happens...
