Yes, I see that. He doesn’t have a filter, like the one most politicians have way too much of. I’d trust his view after he’s thought about it - and most importantly- listened to advice from experts. He’s shown the ability to not only choose good advisors but to listen to then. Like Sessions on immigration, Forbes and Laffer on taxes.
I applaud you sir or madam. One of the very very few Trump supporters that will admit he talks off the top of his head and then has to walk it back later once he’s conferenced with his handlers.
Trump is totally right, and he exposes, among others, Jeb’s disregard for our safety
I think you're onto something here. If Jeb and the rest of the Bush clan are so fixated on admitting tens of thousands of refugees from Iraq and Syria, not to mention the kids (of all ages) pouring in from Central America, let them lead by example. Let them turn over the Bush family compound in Kennebunkport to a few dozen Syrian refugee families, and convert the Bush family ranch in Texas as a barrio for Central American refugee children. I'm sure it would be an inspiration that would change the hearts of even the most hardline open border skeptics and nay-sayers.
I’ve seen the houses when we visited Kennebunkport. Not impressive, but out on a spit of land by itself.
I agreed with the Iraqi war but now realize it was a big mistake. Of course, I was not POTUS so I didn't know better. Obama's the biggest problem. At least we had Iraq under control before we left.
""Jeb is an idiot if he thinks Americans want more, unvetted, muslim immigrants.""
"Jeb Bush doesn't care what American's want - he made that clear when he defended his stance on our current illegal immigrants saying even if it cost him politically he's not going to change his views on immigration (of illegals)."

That picture says it all.
What is wrong with Branstad? Surely he realizes the danger this poses to Iowans.
In my opinion, Trump initially considered bringing in Syrian 'refugees'. However, he never said anything about keeping them here. Trump as well expounded on what he has since learned: Most of the 'refugees' are young men and the 'refugees' are infiltrated with Islamic terrorists.
As such, he stated he would send them back.
I think most see that trait in him.... just don’t want to admit it. Taking a lesson from the Donald, I guess- never apologize!

Would a man who is not gay or transgendered have a screen name like CottonBall? LOL
You’re correct. An ordinary run of the mill politician wouldn’t dare try to answer a question without talking to his handlers first. Scott Walker is a good example. The mid east situation is very complicated. But I’m proud of Trump for at least trying to answer the question from his heart. Then not being afraid to change his answer after further edification on the matter.
But, then the US back out of it's commitment to provide air cover and the US trained Cubans died, were captured, or turned back on the beaches.
That was Kennedy, Castro was funded by Eisenhower administration and he was shocked when Castro announced he was a Communist.
I'm sure if you look at the timeline, the first comments were made well before the numerous photos showed that the 'refugees' are anything but refugees.
I don't call it a flip-flop when the original premise is a sham.
If the US (and hindsight is always 20-20) had trained the millions of Cubans who have left the Island and returned them to fight and take back control of Cuba, they would be free today.
This mistake must not be made again when dealing with Syria and the Russian thugs!
I stand corrected - thank you
Trump defends American citizens.
Jeb defends everyone else...

Like being the spelling or grammar cops, nothing good comes of assuming something about our fellow freepers based on their screen name.
But now that you mention it, yes, I might have been safe to read female into that screen name if I’d given it a moment’s thought (which I did not).
