Trump on immigration: "Build a wall, 2000 miles long. Have Mexico pay for it." No, I don't have a cite, look it up. Lots of people say it can't be done. But my personal good friend, Ron White *has* done the math on this project. Here you go:

The question is not whether it could be built, although getting Mexico to pay for it is not likely considering our trade deficit. The question is whether it should be built.

Trump is the only Republican candidate who's saying hands off Social Security/Medicare, and against raising the retirement age.

Everyone know I'm a gun collector, hunter, and target shooter. I've reached the point where I would be comfortable with a ban on assault weapons. I'd even be willing to give up all semi-automatic weapons.

I've always been a hawk in my military views. I strongly believe we have no reason to be involved in the ISIS conflict. This is a civil war between militant Sunni extremists vs Kurds vs Shias vs moderate Sunnis. Saudi Arabia is sitting there with the 3rd largest military budget in the world. Yes, they spend more on their military than Russia. Let them step up to the plate. There is no way we will come out of this with being covered with shit and being the bad guy. Let them fight among themselves and we only worry when they stray out of the sand box.

I want somebody in office who will use a common sense approach to immigration. This country was built with immigrants. Seems like I remember a poem on a plaque that was added to Statue of Liberty. Maybe our politician's should think about it.

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Of course, let's use common sense with illegal aliens. If they have a felony history and commit felonies here, ship them back. What the heck is this stuff about catching and releasing illegal aliens on violent crimes in sanctuary cities? Common sense people, common sense.

Here you have my views. Now do you see why I am looking for someone in the Democrat Party? I can't support Hillary. This private email server situation is horrible.

You are not asking for the moon. This should be doable.

xoxoxoBruce · 08-22-2015, 10:07 PM

It is doable by any reasonably competant government. So unfortunately it's not likely here.

Who's fault is that? The voters. I've said before, the White House race is a dog & pony show for the masses, without cleaning up Congress we'll still be mired in this shit.

Educated people register more, but do they vote?

I'm a little too excited about a potential third-party run by Trump. Sure...go ahead...just give the presidency to the Democrats. Especially when conservatives are hot to trot over a Clinton again.

fargon · 08-25-2015, 09:08 AM

I'd vote for him in a hot second.
(That was my sarcasm voice)

Trump is simply doing what Hitler also did to become popular. He hyped soundbytes embodied with hate. It works on extremist who know only from their feelings. Hitler also said to disparage the intelligent people so as to inspire his wacko extremist and lower intelligent followers. Trump is simply appealing to similar people who know only from their feelings - inspired by a 'them verses us' mentality. Not from being educated and first learning facts.

BTW, Carly Fiorina also uses that tactic - just not as well. She has to be one of the dumbest executives I ever met. Others who worked with her in Lucent say same.

What kind of person bankrupts four companies and gets rich? Evil scammers. Strange. Trump did same. Fiorina almost did that in HP. Just a few examples of facts forgotten and ignore by adults who only entertain their emotions - cannot be bothered to first learn facts.

If Grandpa Joe runs, this is going to be the greatest election of all time.

You know Trump winning the presidency isn't as unlikely as people seem to think... He is in the lead of most republican polls, and the 8 year turnover rule has had very few exceptions since the current two-party system solidified. I hear a lot of over confidence among democrats regarding Hilary, which makes me wonder how many would end up thinking it's a sure thing and passing on the voting booths.

Also: On Israel's behalf - we can't even deal with Gaza, how the f' are we going to deal with Florida?

Griff · 08-26-2015, 08:18 PM

If the Dems roll with Hillary, they may just loose to Trumpenutter. Man what an awful pair of candidates. Who is the Greenie this time?

Undertoad · 08-26-2015, 08:25 PM

Sorry, you live in Pennsylvania so no third party candidates will be appearing on your ballot.
