    My grandfather is legit Mexican to the bone, supports Trump. When he first told me that, I started cracking up but then I realized he was being serious. I asked him how could he support him since he wants to deport illegal Mexicans and end birth citizenship (I believe that's how he or possibly his parents got citizenship), and he replied by saying " My generation were all hard workers, all these Mexicans coming over now days are lazy, they don't work, havs a bunch of kids who live off of federal aid, food stamps. " I love my grandfather, he's a great man (truly was a very hard worker, was in the military etc) and didn't want to to dispute with him over politics so I just didn't say anything and changed the subject.

    Old dudes sitting in front of TV too much listening to the BS being played by major news stations politicial segments. Crazy how he can seperate him self from his own background like that.

    What, should we do with illegals? Do you have a solution?

    Should there be a border at all? Should immigration caps and passports be made null?

    Times are changing. Unsustainable population growth of the lower class and resource usage are just a few issues with comparing illegals of today to those of days past.

    Sidenote: Illegals and muslims are small, small parts of Trump's overall policy changes the media obsesses over. His most dynamic area's will be economic and international policy, and he's the only one with the balls to enforce it. Has Obama playing it safe for 8 years really improved the life of the average middle and lower class American? Or just given them more handouts.

    We've been engaged in trickle down economics (voodoo economics I believe Me. HW said) for 30 years with tax cuts for job creators. Yet labor compensation, the wages people live on, have gone down relative to the cost of living. Please tell us the Mr. Trump's plan to better the lives of the working majority.

    If Trump wants to play with the big boys like North Korea, he's going to need 1000 little girls at least.

    This is like some kind of mash up of Trading Places & Idiocracy.

    It's as if Trump made a bet with a billionaire buddy. That he'd get elected president, give each of the 1% a 1M+ tax break, and it's the rest of America who pays for it. By raising the cost of living from slapping on a 45% tax on imports, everyday goods.

    All he has to do is put on the President Comancho act because that's what the hoi polloi like.

    The RNC met yesterday, apparently for the purpose of blowing off steam about the Republican's leading presidential candidate Donald Trump, who they openly loathe and despise. One of the committee chairmen spoke out in Trumpian fashion, leading with his emotions, and expressed frustration that the party was not able to engage in the dirty tricks and shenanigans that they think are appropriate here because Trump has threatened to go third party.

    Basically, the RNC is mad because Trump has preempted their dirty tricks with his own dirty tricks. The nerve of this man! In any case, they appear to be of a view that it is time to somehow find a way to either end Trump or reel him in. Of course the problem is that he is funding his own campaign so they do not have any handles available to grab on to to manipulate and maneuver him with.

    That and he was a registered Democrat as recently as 2004, so he does not have much of a history with the Republican party either.

    And you can see from these last few sentences what the core problem is with the Republican establishment. They think they are a top down operation like the Democrats, where they tell people who to support and what to think, and everyone is expected to follow in lockstep. That is of course exactly backwards, as it should be for the Dems as well. In a republic like ours, the politicians are supposed to be representatives of the people. But the Republican establishment clearly regards their constituents as the problem and not themselves.

    No wonder these people are poised to be on the outside looking in, even if the Republicans do win the presidency.

    Was I the only one who found it very odd (and funny) that Trump was predicting more deaths from Paris and San Bernardino victims?

    Those victims are fighting for their lives and Trump said they're assuredly going to die....hahahah

    I think we need to allow for the possibility that Trump could be potus. Pros and amateurs have incorrectly surmised that Trump's lead in the polls would eventually fade. If anything, he is stronger in the national polls as ever.

    Well, the rubber is about to meet the road in a few short weeks.

    Hillary is no Obama. One was an once-in-a-generation type of candidate. The other is disliked by even many in her own party

    That is not a funny video. That is scary. It's amazing to me that Trump supporters can look at that and not see the parallels to Nazi Germany...except for the fact that Trump supporters are clearly brainwashed.

    I can't imagine what will become of this country if he becomes president. I've never said that about any candidate from any party before. That goes for W...that goes for McCain/Palin or Romney/Ryan. None of them are capable of what Trump is apparently capable of. I honestly thought that Ted Cruz was the worst candidate that could do the most damage. Not. Even. Close.

    Does Trump actually wear a rug? If so he has no shot. Get some investigators on that, has to be a paper trail. Follow the money.
