Same place every liberal goes. First define your position as the only sane one. Next, label your opponents mentally ill with no proof. Lastly, send them to reeducation camps.

Same as it ever was. And until people at large rediscover liberals’ historical pattern of that, they will continue to grab more power.

OH NO!!! Hispanics aren't going to vote for Trump!! Might as well give them the keys to the country then. People that care more about illegals coming here and staying than they care about AMERICA itself!!

“Trump has certainly crafted an appeal to voters who like impractical ideas...”

like fighting a two front war against brutal enemies, i.e., WWII

Like going to the Moon. How stupid do they think we are? That cant be done!!

Like tapping the energy used at the creation of the universe to create a Super Bomb and end WWII. How naive!

How about this for a laugh? Take a bunch of farmers and God knows who else and make them into an army capable of defeating the reigning champ British!!! lol. What a STUPID, IMPRACTICAL, IMPOSSIBLE IDEA!!!

oh, wait..

Old Jonathan must have been in a Coma the past seven years if he thinks Obama is rational, sane, and pro-USA. Either that or he is as one with Obama on all issues and he has developed a liking for unchecked tyranny.

Whether Trump wins or not, the GOPe is the big loser here. Everyone sees that they are sneering at him. Who would vote for, let alone trust, their hand-picked candidate anymore? They blew it.

Chait is smart but he fundamentally does not understand conservatives. Other liberals find him convincing because they don’t understand conservatives either. Hence you find his writings all over the place, and they’re always smart but never quite correct.

Lots of conventional wisdom and wishful thinking.

Ann Coulter is right: A Republican can kiss the “minority” voters goodbye if he goes for the white voters. As she says: If Romney had gotten 100% of the black vote, he would still have lost. If he had gotten 5% more of the white vote, he would have won.

Trump doesn’t need the Hispanic vote.

Reagan got the lowest percentage of the minorities in 1984 and won by a huge landslide.

Trump only needs about 62% of the white vote to win.
A putz like Romney got 59% in 2012 so Trump should easily hit that number.

That Evan Osnos article is going to be the Go-to thing now for the left to launch their allegations ... that daring to reclaim America’s borders and laws is downright crazy, fascist, and racist.

My guess is the last chart by Gallop was a poll of illegal immigrants.

“Last night, when Jorge Ramos — often called the Walter Cronkite of Hispanic America — tried to ask a question, Trump berated him and barked, “Go back to Univision.”


The problem for many commentators is that with the internet, anyone interested can see the actual event. They would then know that Jorge Ramos attempted to hijack Trumps news conference. It was only after Jorge refused to yield that Trump had him escorted out of the room.

So this commentator played fast and loose with the truth to make a point. I wonder how many believe this version even when the true version is available for reviewing?

He (the commentator) failed to mention that Jorge is not an unbias reporter (and in this vein he is the same as Walter Cronkite) nor the relationship between his daughter and Hillary, or the $500 million lawsuit Trump has filed against Univision. Disclosures that any honest reporter would make.

He’s not going to lose. Because he won’t run.

Oh. Here's the bunghole with the crystal ball.

In looking at the net favorable/unfavorable graph, I can think of no better testament to how each candidates feel and would do to illegal immigration than looking at it from the Hispanic point of view. To my mind, being on the gray side of that graph is the plus for me.

I want my country back, I’m tired of seeing these illegals everywhere - they’re like Tribbles for cripes sake only we can’t solve it all and beam them back to Harry Mudd’s ship.

Trump will very likely be the nominee. The GOPe set up a system deliberately designed to allow their anointed guy to lock up the nomination early with 30% of the vote, while the rest of the field was still divided. They also rigged it to supposedly favor the “moderate” candidate, by allowing independents and even Democrats to participate in many states. Now Trump is the guy with a solid 30% or so, and he will have big appeal to independents, while the GOPe’s anointed candidates are all duds. Oops.

Obama’s a Marxist and Crazy Uncle Joe is ‘crazy’

Guess that means only crazy (in their eyes) republicans can’t get elected

Trump has certainly crafted an appeal to voters who like impractical ideas. But his true threat lies in the fact that Trump himself is crazy — not just ideologically, though he is certainly that as well, but in the sense that he lacks any rational connection between his actions and his goals, to the extent that his goals are discernible at all. That is also his downfall.

this coming from jonathonchait, a dweeb that can't even afford to rent a room at the Trump Tower, complaining that Trump 'lacks rational connection between actions and goals'.

What a maroon.
