However, when one is presented with the Republican presidential candidate known as Mark Everson, there aren't such qualities present. Everson is not a likely presidential candidate to find himself in the White House due to: not having a strategic campaign, having a scandalous past, and because of his current position in last place as the eighteenth Republican candidate.

Not only do his promises make him lose the votes of the conservative party, his promises of bringing back the draft are off putting to many. …show more content…

Krugman references Wall Street’s assertion that there would be a push on infrastructure and tax cuts, however by prefacing Wall Street’s assertion with the phrase, “remember after the election” (2), he invalidates their argument, suggesting that it is dated. But, to an extent Krugman agrees that Trump’s presidency could prove disastrous: “Big tax cuts- and savage cuts to social programs- are still very much on the Congressional Republican agenda, and they could put it all together, hand it to Bannon, and have Trump sign it without reading”(5).
