Closing Campaign Arguments

As Americans cast their ballots today, political commentator Steve Hilton doles out his final arguments on what has been a highly contentious, if not downright savage Presidential campaign.

The popular Brit, host of “The Next Revolution” on Fox News and an obvious fan of President Trump, says there are many reasons why America should vote Trump, perhaps the most glaring is promises made, promises kept. Hilton details a litany of Trump accomplishments in his first term, including the greatest jobs President in American history: lowest unemployment in 50 years, lowest unemployment for women in 70 years, lowest unemployment for Blacks, Hispanics and Asians ever. And for the first time in decades, earnings rose faster for the lowest paid than the rich.

Toss in peace through strength: de-escalation of tension with North Korea, negotiation of peace in the Middle East and the first President since the 1970s not to start a foreign conflict. And troops are actually coming home from the Middle East. He slapped tariffs on China to balance trade between the countries, renegotiated the nightmare NAFTA and got rid of regulations that were choking small business. And, of course, he secured our borders.

“On the policy, Trump is the right choice,” Hilton says. “On the economy, he pioneered a new conservative populism. It led to the greatest economy we have ever seen, a blue-collar boom, lifting up those left behind by the establishment.” Tune in to hear the rest of Hilton’s analysis on both sides of the campaign.
