Donald Trump

[Tom]

Trump's major problem is he's clumsy with the choice of words that he uses.
He's alienated many Latinos,

Good. Let's isolate them all, then check their papers.
If they can't handle the truth, they have no business being here.

If you accept that the Republican nominee will need 40% of the Latino vote to win in November, you understand the problem Trump presents.

While you may enjoy his spittle inflected populism, he's a trap for your eventual nominee. If they react the way they would if you substituted "Black" or "Jew" for "illegal immigrant", they lose your vote and any chance at the nomination. If they don't, they can't win in November.

Which is why what you hear from the rest of the field is mostly deafening silence. This is something the GOP needs to go away. The longer it has legs, the worse it gets.

You may think Trump is the solution to your problems. He's actually the solution to Hillary's problem.

They need Latino votes in key states. Florida, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona and Colorado. The problem is replacing white voters. There's just not enough anymore.

I truly never bought the George W. Bush was a successful businessman story foisted on people by the idiot loser Karl Rove.

Bush became managing partner of the Texas Rangers soon after Pappy Bush became President. Nice to have a father in high places. His personal cash contribution to the group that bought the Rangers was less than $800,000.

His oil exploration companies were 'supported' by many of the partners and friends from Pappy Bush's (there goes daddy again) Zapata Energy days.

Did anyone say crony capitalism? Yes. I did.

Carter was an abject failure before, during and after his Presidency.

Bush's presidency will never ever be judged objectively by the criminal main stream press, but his eight years were a lot more successful than anyone would ever give him credit.

Can anyone imagine a Hillary, a Carter, a Kerry, an Obama or a Biden as president when Sept. 11, 2001 happened?

On that event alone we should all be thankful for G.W. Bush.

Anyone of that bunch might have actually gone after the person behind 9/11 instead of going after somebody who had nothing to do with it? If GWB had done that, we might not have the mess in Iraq we have today and a power in the region to offset Iran. Throw in the economic mess he left the country in and you have a failed presidency. GWB got Obama elected and re-elected.

This is why they can't win. But this is also an issue that is very very high on the list of concerns. It's going to take a grass roots effort to do anything at the state level. When Texas gets their new 1000 DPS Troopers trained, about two years, they are all going to the border. Things are going to be interesting. If the other border states would follow along.......it could turn into a real issue.

Yes, does he abandon his principles or become just another RINO loser to get his?

Trump is not going to go all the way with this, but for now, he is forcing the lame=stream media to mention crap they try to cover up for the House Boy.

We need people out there who are not afraid to stand up and fight the cowards on the Hill.

And anyone who gets offended by him most likely deserves it. I hope his rhetoric catches on and more people start telling others where to go and how to get there. This country did get to great by pandering. It got to be second rate by being PC.

Donald Trump is just the latest victim of “Beliefism”

Beliefism is somewhat like racism but even worse than racism.

Beliefism is the belief that all members of each belief possess characteristics or abilities specific to that belief, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another belief or beliefs.

• Beliefism is prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different belief based on the belief that one's own beliefs are superior to others.

• Unlike racism beliefism has no laws preventing prejudice, discrimination or antagonism against someone of a different belief.

• Belifest are allowed to ruin someone financially, socially shame them, belittle them, treat them as inferior morally and intellectually.

• Beliefists believe their beliefs are superior to others beliefs because they believe they stand on superior intellectual and moral ground.

Beliefist are intolerant, abusive, aggressive, and possess no insight into their own prejudice toward others beliefs.

Simply Beliefists possess/take on the same qualities they condemn in a racists yet remain self-fault blind.

No one should have to live in fear because of their beliefs.

The Donald is just doing all of this for the theater, his own amusement, and to see the sparks fly as he stirs the pot. He's not serious about being President.

In the extremely unlikely event he did start polling well, he'd pull a "Perot" and declare a senile admiral as his running mate to torpedo his own campaign.

He's just a political troll.

Pretty well sums the economic conservatives, especially the ones who post here. They stick to their theories no matter how many times history has proved them wrong. When they get into a jam in one thread, they just start another and pretend the last one didn't happen. And the facts be damned.

I believe that you are way off the mark here.

So, you would say that ISIS, Nazis, KKKers, et al,
should remain true to their beliefs?
BS - a line has to be drawn somewhere.

No, he wants to be president, and he would be a good one. He would get things done. But he doesn't understand some things about the political game, which unfortunately you have to play to a certain extent.

His other major drawback is his lack of a sense of humor and the the ability to laugh at himself.

So what that he puts his foot in his mouth every once in awhile. Could we really do any worse than we've already been given?

It's time someone put an end to all of this PC nonsense that has taken over our idiology.

This country sorely needs someone besides a politician as president for a change.

You mean sums up Obama.
Have you not watched TV the last 7 years?

And Nomad - tell me of one issue that any dem has ever waiverred from the the party line?

No one in history marches lock-step like today's democrats.
