I would love to see Trump give the state of the Union and to listen to him respond to the long chorus of boo's from the democrat side when ever he says something they don't like.

For me it's President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.

Trump is articulating himself better each time out. He's comfortable in speaking his mind without notes, without prepared speeches and without teleprompters and that comes from one thing. When you speak with conviction of the heart.

Trump loves himself obviously but I think he loves this country even more.
I really want to see his plan for rebuilding out infrastructure and our military.
I'm guessing a large part of it will be cutting foreign aid and using the money for those purposes. Along with cutting better trade deals.

His jobs program I would guess is going to bring jobs back to this country and reducing social welfare programs. If you are a able bodied and on assistance and there are jobs available you will work.
The welfare offices will be transformed into employment offices.
Please let it be so!!

Is Megyn Kelly leaving Fox?

That is the claim in this article, supposedly from "insiders." It would make some sense. She got chewed up and spit out after a shameful debate performance that cost her her Fox base. She won't get them back, and she knows it. Her numbers have probably already started to wobble, and they will go into a steep decline over time, no matter what happens with her and Trump. The move might lessen the amount of shrapnel and debris still raining down on her once she is gone from Fox.

CNN is a joke, and she is a joke, so it's a perfect match.

You might be able to rebuild infrastructure just on the money saved by eliminating welfare, illegal aliens, foreign aid and the DOEs, and have enough left over to build a wall.

Wouldn't that be sumthin'.

Going to CNN would be like jumping on a sinking ship and she knows this....yet she may not have a choice. She made this bed and I'm sure she regrets the hell out of it! Fox is the place to be in news these days and she has screwed up her "rising star" status.

Megyn will disappear into obscurity if she leaves Fox.

She has always been as annoying as nails on a chalk board to me. Her demeanor in that debate was far from professional in tone, attitude, and performance.

What she should do is just have a show where she admits to this, apologizes to her "base" and tries to continue on. I dunno if her ego can do it though.

I say bring back Laurie Dheu!

Read something, not Trump-related, that makes sense.

What Trump is delivering is the opposite of politics-as-usual. Politics-as-usual reflects the complete dedication to self-interest under the guise of public service. And people have reached the boiling point on that.

Fwiw, that MA fund-raiser would have set you back $100.00 per seat, including hors and drinks. In comparison, for a photo opp with Daryl/Norman Reedus of The Walking Dead fame, $100.00 would not be enough.

I see what I did there.

Interesting link above.
More fascinating about all the maneuvering rather than what Megyn Kelly does.
She made an obvious error and created the turmoil and now all the posturing of all around her.
It just goes to show the astounding impact of Trump.

The members here at SF are politically savvy people, certainly more so than the average person in Kardashianland. Yet we are delighted with the upfront, off-the-cuff, no-bullshit honest dialogue that Trump engages in. His press conferences and rallies are great improv performances, something I haven't seen from a major candidate in my lifetime.

If the politically jaded can get into Trump, can you imagine the average joe out there in TV land? The masses, who aren't into (and don't know) the political nuances , who don't give a shit about RINOs, Benghazi, Socialists, and Congressional gridlock, could very well get behind Trump because of his campaign style and extreme confidence. His instant name recognition and celebrity could be a huge factor with blue collar and black voters, who mostly share his views on illegal aliens. Trump could very well be the first Reality TV President, and I don't mean that in a disparaging way.

What about bringing Lynne Russell out of retirement to replace the outted MG? At least we know that she is a very strong defender of the 2A!

I can't imagine how anything about "Reality TV" could be anything but disparaging.

This fascination with "first" is probably hurtful. JFK is said to be the first "TV President," the first "Catholic President," Reagan the first "actor President" (the first professional anyway), Obama's appeal seems to be in part the first "black President." Hillary's only appeal seems to be the idea of the first woman President.

I thought Clinton was the first "black President."?

He was an accomplished liar, although not the first at that I'm sure. He could convince anybody of anything apparently.

Bashing Trump:
Jeb Bush bastardizes conservatism to justify his agenda

George H.W. Bush promoted "kinder and gentler conservatism," which implied that conservatism is neither kind nor gentle. Mitt Romney said he was "severely" conservative, as if liberty and free markets can be "severe." Now it is Jeb Bush's turn to philosophically vandalize conservatism with his "Conservative Immigration Reform Agenda."

Donald Trump has introduced the idea of an immigration system which comes down to the mass deportation of 11 million people at a cost of as much as $600 billion, massive new federal powers to step on the civil liberties of ordinary Americans, and a border plan that could be best described as a fantasy.

That plan is not something a small-government conservative would put forward. It requires the federal government to manage the exorbitantly expensive mass deportation of millions of people. It also requires a massive public works project unlike anything we’ve seen since the construction of the Hoover Dam – and the federal government, as you may have noticed, hasn’t been capable of running such a project judiciously of late.

Bush provides no evidence of where his $600 billion figure comes from. In actuality, once illegals are cut off from housing, schools, medical care, and jobs, many will self-deport. He has no problem supporting the $700-billion TARP bailout for big banks, but not a small fraction of that for a border fence.

Bush also shows a total lack of understanding of what a small-government conservative is. A small-government conservative spends on only the essentials – national defense and security being the primary focus. Not hundreds of billions to bail out banks. It is precisely the security of the nation that a conservative would focus the government on. Bush seems to think that spending money to build a wall is liberal, while spending hundreds of billions for corporate welfare is conservative.

A great nation must secure its borders for national security and public health reasons. We don’t have to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on fencing when we can use new technology

This is what liberals say who don't want to secure the border – that they will have video cameras and drones that will watch the illegals streaming across, and that will substitute for a border fence.

We must find a practical solution to the status of the 11 million people here illegally today. We need a vigorous path to earned legal status where people are required to learn English, pay a fine and taxes, pass a criminal background check, work and not receive federal government benefits.

And what if they don't do any of these things? Will Bush push to deport them then? Certainly not. In any event, conservatives believe in the rule of law, and these people are here illegally. Rewarding their illegality is not conservative; it's flagrant disgard for the law.

As a deeply committed conservative who has spent my adult life fighting to strengthen the Republican Party and to advance the causes of limited government and individual freedom, I am confident we will choose the path that best meets those missions.

It's offensive to hear Jeb Bush call himself, and by extension his amnesty policies, "conservative." Legalizing illegal aliens has nothing to do with limited government and individual freedom. We lose our individual freedoms when illegals rape and kill our citizens, when they take our tax dollars for "social" services, and when Spanish becomes the primary language in our kindergartens. Limited government is about attending to the security of the nation, but Jeb Bush twists it like a punch line in a joke.

His redefining of conservatism is just like what the liberals do when they redefine a man as a woman or a nuclear proliferation deal as an arms control treaty. If he's nominated, he will further dispirit voters who want a clear contrast, and we will lose again, just like with Romney and McCain.

Trump is so entertaining, so good in front of a crowd and dealing with the media on the spot, that he earns himself true comedic license, which makes it easier to forgive/forget things he says that would sink any of the other candidates were they to say them. I loved how he owned the CNN reporter.

That's part of it.
