    Okay guys use your imaginations. The next president of the United States will have the power to accomplish 1 campaign promise.

    Thanks to the discovery of a magical genie that one campaign promise will be up to you.

    You could: (for example)

    End all abortions at any point you wish 1st 2nd 3rd trimester or never at all.

    Destroy the nuclear reactors in Iran, North Korea or anywhere whenever you see fit.

    Extend amnesty to any all aliens or find and deport any or all of them. Secure or open the border.

    Lower or raise personal or corporate taxes as you see fit.

    Increase the minimum wage to any number you want or eliminate the minimum wage altogether or anything in between.

    The power to override the ACLU over any lawsuit they bring.

    Overturn any decision of the Supreme Court and/or rewrite add or eliminate any of the constitutional amendments.

    Open up free trade agreements or slap severe tariffs on foreign goods.

    End or increase support Financial military or humanitarian aid any foreign countries.

    Legalize or eliminate any drug you choose.

    End or expedite the death penalty.

    Install a strict and comprehensive system of cap and trade or carbon or energy tax or is the already in place regulations.

    Let's say the genie offered you a first second and third choice. Feel free to think of your own issue or issues and insert your own conditions or restrictions. Just curious.

          1. find illegals and deport ALL of them. Secure the border.

          (Save the country)

          Overturn any decision of the Supreme Court and/or rewrite add or eliminate any of the constitutional amendments.

          (Retroactively overturn the gay intrusion into real marriage - and if they get real angry, buy em a plane ticket to a country where that perversion is accepted), and overturn the obamaocare ruling, and any other

          ruling that violates our Constitution. And make it a felony to actively criticize our Constitution and

          work against it.

          Destroy the nuclear reactors in Iran, North Korea, Russia, China or anywhere whenever you see fit,

          and send that country's gold reserved to ME for distribution to all my friends and family.....

          (given a magic twanger to make it happen.... those reactors would just go blinkie-blickie and disappear

          from existence...save the world from WWIII...maybe)

            Get rid of all the mexicans. Murica.

            Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

              Remove the guns from people who have them illegally and stop anyone being able to get them illegally.

                End all abortions at any point you wish 1st 2nd 3rd trimester or never at all.

                Laws seem ok as they are.

                Destroy the nuclear reactors in Iran, North Korea or anywhere whenever you see fit.

                Nuclear reactors fine - nuclear bombs are the problem

                Extend amnesty to any all aliens or find and deport any or all of them. Secure or open the border.

                Deport those where it's not a genuine case of asylum - they can go through the green card process like me (eventually) and everybody.

                Lower or raise personal or corporate taxes as you see fit.

                Not sure what they are now, but incentives for companies to produce things in the US would be a good start as mentioned previously.

                Increase the minimum wage to any number you want or eliminate the minimum wage altogether or anything in between.

                Ensure minimum wage is in line with, and slightly above, the tax free allowance (or whatever it's called there) for someone working 35 hours a week. So someone working 35 hours a week gets maybe $2k over the tax free allowance (so they're actually paying tax). That's about $10k + $2k = $12k p/a. 35 hours per week, 47 weeks per year (5 weeks holiday is fairly standard here not sure about there), gives you a minimum wage of about $7.30.

                The power to override the ACLU over any lawsuit they bring.

                That seems arbitrarily heavy handed and pointless.

                Overturn any decision of the Supreme Court and/or rewrite add or eliminate any of the constitutional amendments.

                I'd probably remove the 2nd, but that won't fly here. don't know enough to talk about them, but there are plenty I know and like.

                Open up free trade agreements or slap severe tariffs on foreign goods.

                Incentives for 'home grown' products.

                End or increase support Financial military or humanitarian aid any foreign countries.

                Humanitarian aid is bulletproof imo. Financial aid in foreign countries is often cheaper than not giving any in the long run, in terms of having to clean up the mess with military aid.

                Legalize or eliminate any drug you choose.

                Decriminalize lower class drugs and stop putting people in prison for trivial offences.

                End or expedite the death penalty.

                End it.

                Install a strict and comprehensive system of cap and trade or carbon or energy tax or is the already in place regulations.

                Not the right way to go about it. Incentivise clean energy - carrots work better than sticks.

                Let's say the genie offered you a first second and third choice. Feel free to think of your own issue or issues and insert your own conditions or restrictions. Just curious.

                  Block Obamas vision of a fascist one party system and place a moratorium on all immigration. Deport all illegals and secure the border.

                  One fifth of the population of El Salvador now living in the U.S., Virginia turning blue. California already has a one party system.

                  This is one avenue by which Obama intends to "fundamentally transform America". I needs to be stopped and Trump is the only hope.

                        My concern is the democrats are close to getting their dream of one party control. When all the illegal immigrants become voters they will vote heavily democratic and we will have only democrat presidents no matter how lousy of a candidate the democrats run or how good the republican candidate is. There will no longer be enough independent voters to decide presidential elections.

                        Under Obama entitlements such as foodstamps have gone up dramatically and who will these people vote for? The party that wants to cut entitlement spending? I doubt it. I wouldn't care about the out of control entitlement spending if we were running a surplus but we aren't and everyone knows we cannot afford it and the national debt keeps growing.

                          Democrats are the closest thing we have to socialism and as societies age socialism seems more appealing.

                            Bullshit. The rhinos are democrat ass kissers sure, but the only control true Republicans and conservatives want right now is control over is the runaway socialism occurring in this country.

                                Bullshit. The rhinos are democrat ass kissers sure, but the only control true Republicans and conservatives want right now is control over is the runaway socialism occurring in this country.

                                Sir.

                                The immigration issue is most certainly a threat to all Americans, and the Rs. No argument there at all.

                                We had/have Watergate, Hanging Chads, Right to Work. Those are R signs of wanting control as well.

                                  I would take over as leader for life. I would appoint Oldbrownsfan Sec of Defense. Cal would be the Attorney General. WSS would be Sec of State. I would appoint GFT ambassador to Syria.

                                    Wait, Bob, Stop and think about that for a moment. Watergate was Nixon covering up for about 5 people.

                                    That isn't "republicans".

                                    And "hanging chads" ???? An R sign? LOL. Seriously? The hanging chads was a desperate attempt by Gore

                                    to win the election by hook or crook. Hanging chads was the democrat invention to try to control the outcome

                                    of the election.

                                    And "right to work" hahahaha. sorry, Bob. RIGHT TO WORK is stopping the unions from having monopolistic

                                    control and leverage over companies, and employees in said company, and even stopping them

                                    from having total control and leverage of our own government, by federal unionized employees..

                                    It gives them the FREEDOM to NOT BE CONTROLLED by a partisan union that can coerce membership in

                                    said union, demand union dues from said coerced member, and use union dues any freakin partisan manner

                                    the all powerful union sees fit.

                                    come on, Bob. You can do better than that.

                                        As long as you mandated that all cleveland sports teams were champions in perpetuity and had all the steelers executed I guess I could accept that

                                        Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...
