Jim Wilson: Trump may be cost-effective

I was a Bernie Sanders supporter till the bitter end. I voted for Hillary Clinton. I would not have voted for Donald Trump had he been running unopposed.

However, Trump’s questioning of Boeing’s potential multi-billion dollar price tag for Air Force One seems like a fine idea to me. Why not? Runaway government spending has been a problem for decades, and the Boeing deal was no-bid. It’s about time someone had the brass to ask a few questions.
