After all the insane stuff he has said Trump was just asked the other day, "What are the three most important things you believe government should provide?"

His answer...

"Protection (from the threat of terrorists), education, and healthcare."

I was thinking, what happened? Did he hit his head? Well, he did follow- up by stating, "Really, the top three are protection, protection, and protection." and so education and healthcare were sort of pushed to 4 and 5.

Mostly what the Department of Education does is provide funding to support education. They don't really go around telling people what to do other than to try to maintain some sort of minimum standards. So, they are an important part of our government where the money is actually well spent. They are not something that is a "big government" problem that needs to be eliminated.

I am in agreement with Robert Reich that Trump is all over the map with what he says because he really does not believe most of what he says. It is all just wildly throwing stuff out there to see what gets attention. So, he seems to flip flop constantly because he can't keep track of what bullshit he last threw out there. He does not recall what position he said he had at any given moment.

They claim there is no script for Trump, so he is not really memorizing talking points the way somebody like Hillary does or most "professional" politicians do. He is just winging it and their campaign motto is supposed to be "Let Donald be Donald."
