I think many in this country are fantasizing about seeing president elect Trump say to Obama, you’re fired, to Loretta Lynch - you’re Fired, to the EPA head - you’re Fired. He should have a litany in his next speech of who he is going to fire, name them all, point and say you’re fired after each name.

It would feel good but I'm not sure it's going to get him elected. The reality is any Republican president will fire all of the same people.

It is inconceivable to these ignoramuses


It’s not inconceivable to them, they have been paid to convince us it’s all good for us. Flooding the country with foreigners is the plan whether we like it or not.
The GOP’s job was to frustrate any attempts to stop it while convincing us that it’s just not possible and making sure we only get candidates who agree.

I don’t like Donald Trump, but he’s better than a Bush.

Vox. Home of Ezra Klein.

I’m sure they have nothing but best wishes for the GOP.

...that was the plan..

You are correct about a plan. The winning plan when you are running for President IS to get the other candidates ignored.

Trump is not a conservative, he and the GOPE are working together like good cop-bad cop

Notice how Ted and the other candidates are being ignored by the press right now.

That was the plan.

Gotta say, if it wasn't the plan it was at least really bad luck for the non-GOPe candidates.

May I be honest? I want a Republican Party that is intolerant of those who come to the US and have no intention of following our laws and traditions, and intending to work hard and be self-sufficient. Anyone who came here illegally starts off in a way that makes it impossible.

Anti illegal alien invader bigotry plays well with a chunk of the American primary electorate.

Trump is pulling from lotsa dems, blacks, and legal immigrants too. No American wants to have our Country lost. We love it.

Do you really think the Pillsbury Dough Boy from FL will fire the EPA?

That is not a flaw, Trumps own words were that an illegal stealing a job illegally and working hard should be able to stay. That was last week.

His words are meaningless, this is all an act.

No, but you can bet he has a long list of his own political sycophants to put in at the top.

The real-estate mogul vaulted into the top tier of Republican presidential candidates by becoming a megaphone for immigration hard-liners.

No need to read beyond this sentence to see that the writer is a propagandist. Illegal aliens was replaced by illegal immigrants was replaced by undocumented immigrants, was replaced by immigrants, like no one would notice.

Just ignore the plight of the legal immigrants. Just ignore the difference between legal and illegal immigrants. Pretend that the illegal aliens are undocumented immigrants. What does "undocumented" mean? Just call them immigrants.

There is very little real journalism any more.

There's an actual definition for "concern troll"

A person who posts on a blog thread, in the guise of "concern," to disrupt dialogue or undermine morale by pointing out that posters and/or the site may be getting themselves in trouble, usually with an authority or power. They point out problems that don't really exist. The intent is to derail, stifle, control, the dialogue. It is viewed as insincere and condescending.

Example - A concern troll on a progressive blog might write, "I don't think it's wise to say things like that because you might get in trouble with the government." Or, "This controversy is making your side look disorganized."

I had the same concerns in the beginning about Trump being another Perot. But I think Trump's ego is just too big to allow himself to be used like a tool.

Hearing him speak in Arizona yesterday, I was encouraged to see him speak passionately for more than an hour without a script or a teleprompter. And it wasn't just illegal immigration but about trade, factories by American companies being built abroad, ISIS, Iran, oil, the economy and so on.

Trump is no Churchill when it comes to orating but you can tell that what he said came from the heart and he's serious about winning this campaign. Actually, I think he's rather taken aback that this campaign has caught fire so fast, but I think his ego prevents him from turning back now.

Mexican immigrants are "bringing drugs and bringing crime, and they're rapists," he said last month.

No, that's not what he said last month.

He is forcing the establishment to admit that to even have an America as a nation is bigoted in their minds. The truth revealed, is killing them.

All Trump is doing is proving what I have always said.

At the core, ex-Mexican nationals view illegal immigrations as abhorrently as we do.

It’s their people who’s jobs are lost first to them. It’s their neighborhoods that suffer from the crime. It’s their children that die. It’s their family members who are killed, raped, molested... and on and on it goes.

Trump will get the vast majority of the Hispanic vote.
