Editorial: The Donald wearing thin
The Albuquerque Journal ^ | August 5, 2015 | The Editorial Board

Posted on 08/04/2015 11:30:17 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

One thing about Donald Trump, you don’t have to guess what he’s really thinking … if you can call it that.

Republican-for-now presidential candidate Trump has set himself apart – and ahead in the polls – from the crowded field of GOP candidates with his candid tell-it-like-he-sees-it pronouncements, particularly regarding the hot-button issue of immigration – certainly a topic presidential contenders should address. There are an estimated more than 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. and more than 451,000 deportation cases in U.S. immigration courts.

After calling some Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals, Trump has now proclaimed that all illegal immigrants should be deported, with only the “really good people” getting to come back.

While short on details – including how you round up, much less transport, 11 million people, what that would do to local economies, and what constitutes “really good people” – the billionaire businessman and former reality television host minced no words about what he would do with the not-so-good people, “We have a lot of bad dudes, as I said. We have a lot of really bad people here. I want to get the bad ones out. … And, by the way, and they’re never coming back.”

Border agents who see the revolving door firsthand would likely tell him good luck with that.....

Do these bone heads really think that is why so many people say they support him? And always with that ridiculous 11 million illegals number. There are more than that just in California, guaranteed!

Oops, I ran into a “Do you like dogs” question, which was one among several others to hurdle, in order to read the dang thing, so I didn’t. I missed the Trump-wearing-thin part.

Not surprised, however, as New Mexico has become California redux.

Well I guess if your like to never know what your POTUS really thinks...a la Obana....then you wouldn’t like Trump. Some people just can’t handle the truth.

I live in California. I have Mexican friends, but sometimes it seems like more than 11 million.

If Trump has a dog, it rides inside the helicopter, as they don’t do well on top of a helicopter

I’ve heard that Albuquerque is a liberal hotbed (artisans, elites, etc.). So I’m guessing this paper isn’t what conservatives would call unbiased?

I was just commenting on what I’ve heard over the years. If it isn’t true, then okay. My bad.

“...if you can call it that.”

Apparently, the editorial board is comprised of snarky hipsters who fashion themselves “the people’s” intellectual and moral superiors.

You need read no further than "...some Mexican immigrants," to know that this is just another trashy hit piece on Trump.

The writer either does not know the difference between legal and illegal immigration, or deliberately ignores the difference.
