I'll be a chump for Trump! At least until Cruz gets the nomination.

Uh, I think you need to get in touch with folks down on the border. Like, anywhere from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific. Sometimes it's about how much money they've got, and sometimes it's about how much money they can make off of the illegals - which is why illegals have been muling for decades.

If that was an efficient means why are the cartels investing years of time and millions of dollars to build simi submersible boats and tunnels to shuttle tons at a clip. The average vegetable picker is not a reliable delivery network, it is a carrier of opportunity. Small potatoes to the cartels. A wall would all but stop that method and put a lot of the small time smugglers out of business.

I believe that any illegal aliens could be talked into leaving this country. The only thing keeping them here is the judicial system and the politicians payed off by big business.

Yep, shouldn't be hard to get rid of the malingerers. Just put a stop to all the free stuff. Workers should get a renewable green card as long as they produce work, and are out on the legal immigration list should they desire it. Someone does have to pick the citrus and fruit,vegetables. God knows we already have a class of people that used to do those things on the dole currently. We don't need more!

For the same reason they still make illegals mule, have surfers slip meth across in surfboards and onto US beaches, and hire young dipsticks to drive pickup trucks across the border at remote points - because there are actually that many groups making deliveries, and they've actually got that many deliveries to make.

You're looking at this backwards. It takes a lot of time and money to dig a tunnel, yes. Which means the narcos will make every penny out of every tunnel they can for as long as the tunnels go undiscovered. By the time any given tunnel is discovered, they're at least halfway to having dug its replacement.

Let's please suspend the digging of this tunnel for now, guys.

The entire GOP field has moved to the right since Trump entered the race. The narrative went from caving in to building a wall and Bush went from "number one" to almost irrelevant in the polls.

Even if he does nothing else, every republican should be grateful to Donald Trump.

DT went into the lion's den of Meet The Press today and acquited himself very well, managing to dodge a minefield of gotcha question from an openly hostile Chuck Todd. Trump doesn't back down and he sent Chuck Todd to school.

Wha' happened?? Dish!

Did Chuck cry? I'd give anything if Trump made him cry.

Trump did very well.

Nah, nothing that good but DT didn't let him talk over him and when Todd tried to work a gotcha with a 1990 Playboy interview Trump just backfired the weasel's attack plan. Trump kept on message and brushed off todd's attempts to trip him up with snark.

Take a look at subtle production tricks NBC is pulling. Notice the lighting? Not bright, certainly not the Obama "halo". 'Memba the OJ cover on Time or Newsweek whatever how they darkened it for affect?

I work in production sometimes and can tell you the lighting is dim. Makes the candidate or subject appear not trustworthy.

"A well designed wall, or walls with a dead zone in the middle, would virtually stop the human traffic....

Will people still get across, sure. Will they walk across by the hundreds each day like they do now, nope."


^^^ Thank you for that. I get frustrated with the passive pessimists who decide it's better to do nothing at all rather than a solution that is good, but less than perfect.

(And I suspect they are on the side of the ruling elites who like all the illegal immigrants flooding in.)

And it makes me want to kiss Trump that he got the President of Mexico to say that he is NOT going to pay for the wall. Hahahaha -- What is the topic of discussion? Mexico paying for the wall.



(Bleh. Okay, just shake his hand.)

I did notice the dark lightng on Trump, & that Chuck Todd had on more makeup than a New Orleans whore.

I am surprised Trump did not require his approval before they aired that. NBC is well known for these tricks and Trump should have been looking for them to do it again. He won't make that mistake again.

By the way, I thought Trump did a good job.

Bloomberg Politics Managing Editor Mark Halperin:

“Most importantly, we’ve reached a turning point with Trump, the major establishment campaigns of both parties now think Trump could win Iowa, and most of them think he could win the nomination, and a significant number think he could win the White House.”

And that the campaigns were in “full freak out mode.”

He said, “Trump may not end up as the nominee, but right now, he’s changed the race, not just leading in the Fox poll, but coming to the fair. I’ve been to the fair with Barack Obama at his peak, Sarah Palin at her peak, with other candidates, George Bush.

The reception Trump got here was not just about celebrity. I walked with him for 45 minutes after the helicopter ride, he came to the fair, and people were yelling things to him with passion. ‘Save us,’ ‘You’re the only one who can stop Hillary,’ ‘Thank you for making America great again.’

The Republican Party seem to have no idea how frustrated so many Americans are about the "transformation" of our country to some third world shit hole.

Wow, that's like six levels above "harshed buzz".

Yeah, I don't see how anyone can deny it now.

Then the wild-card entered the race. Yesterday, before the speech in New Hampshire last night, Donald Trump gave a press conference. The part that matters comes after the 15:00 minute mark. Please watch before continuing:



Now, I believe Trump knows the roadmap. Now I believe Trump knows the construct of the GOPe McDonnell/Donohue scheme.

When Trump speaks of the GOP and Citizens United he is putting sunlight upon something almost NO-ONE was, or is, paying attention to.

If you look back closely at the history of the last few election cycles you will see what Trump is fully aware of, and what few have EVER paid attention to.

The Citizens United Supreme Court decision was reached in ’09. Obama famously railed against it in his 2010 State of the Union speech.

Most, conservatives and Republicans saw the CU decision as a win for our team; a win for free speech; a win to push back against the scope of the Labor Union money that supports the leftist political apparatus. CU allowed a construct for campaign money to push back against the unfair advantages for Democrats held within campaign finance laws and labor unions.

However, what was not thought through was how the Citizens United decision would evolve, and be used by the establishment Republican class, against us.

When you have, with the exception of Ted Cruz, ALL politicians ganging up against Trump, when you have both conservative and liberal mass media outlets attacking him, one has to realize that behind the two entities above is backing by major money and players.

If Trump is the real deal, his presidency would likely result in a lot of pockets getting lighter. And they will not like that at all.
