Indeed. Demographics are dooming conservatism. I’ll have some of what the author is smoking.

It became a tossed salad, not a Melting Pot.

In other words, we’re becoming The Balkans.

Don’t go walking near Fresh Kills after dark!

“Cause once Blacks and Hispanics each figure out that they BOTH can’t be #1 in the racial grievance pecking order for gibmedat handouts, it’s gonna provoke a brawl that will tear the Democrat Party apart.”

Good luck getting the police to intervene in this war.

If Hillary wins, she will establish a Federal Polling Department. THEY will let us know who is ahead in pre-election polls, Leftist #1 or Leftist #1.

Yes, but it’s getting very late in the game. In my view, Trump is the last best hope, but really it might’ve already been W.

Agreed. It is over. We had a great run. The best ever really. We were torn down by self loathing insiders.

“Over? Did you say “over”? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?”

You still think getting Cruz or Rubio to the White House would be a good thing???

“Even if Trump loses he has given this country so much.”

If Trump loses, the country is finished because it means Hillary won.

Even if Trump wins, we have a long hard climb to get out of the mess we are in as it is. We are barely hanging on as it is. If Hillary wins, it will be the final death nail. The republic will not survive mainly because she will make 3 to 4 SCOTUS appoints in her first term alone.

Trump HAS to win. Period.

‘What it all adds up to is that it’s far less likely that these immigrants will by and large assimilate into the wider melting pot than it is that the melting pot will change to accommodate them, to the detriment of the greatness of this country.’

Good point! We can see that USA has been changed by the ‘ruling’ class to accommodate the immigrants, especially the illegal ones and the muslims who work tirelessly to convert USA into a country like their mother country that they have left behind.

this makes me very optimistic. Even if Trump loses this year, this trend could carry Cruz or Rubio to the WH next time around.

There we go again - Cruz and Rubio have been found wanting in all areas - I guess a lot of folks need some reason to keep their wallets shut so they don't have to actually do anything to try to stanch the spurting artery of America's throat.

Be useful (instead of a useful tool for Hillary) and donate to Trump and Donate to FR while you're at it.

If Trump loses we lose the nation. There will be no opposition to the globalist agenda in our federal government.

Vote Trump 2016

Exactly, Trump HAS to win.

If that woman wins, she will completely destroy this country with judicial appointments and presidential policies. The bureaucratic red tape and liberal poison that would be injected into government would be too much to remove.
Sadly, it would take a revolution or second civil war to get us back to an America that cares about freedom and the rights of the citizenry.

God help us.

Naivete is sometimes mistaken for optimism. I’m not betting on there being a “next time around.” 2016 may be the last time around.

Maybe. But I am of the view that even if Trump doesn’t win, he will have accomplished something very important. Removing one of the wings of the Uniparty in the GOP, because his voters will not be going back to them after this, if they succeed in taking him down for November.

Then we’ll have finally a TRUE opposition party against the Uniparty.

Sad to say-Dems have 35% of the vote locked in primarily due to social welfare. It would be interesting to see what % of Dem voters are on food stamps vs. Republicans. I bet 1 in 30 votes GOP. Anyone else with a guess?

Not interested. I have seen these two going from being stars to making horrible decisions. Cruz was set up for 2020 or 2024 and cut his own throat. Rubio will never be trusted on immigration, not that it will matter if Trump loses cause we are done for anyway.

Per “Hillary’s America”, white southern Democrats switched to Republican when they started to hit the middle class. Hispanics are starting to do the same.
That’s why Democrats want to import more poor hispanics.

Immigrants tend to be non whites and they speak their own language, for the most part. The first one is very hard to break and the language thing is not going to happen with proud Hispanic mestizos speaking their colonial masters’ Spanish language as a matter of pride.

Earlier immigrants learned English within a generation, because they were given no choice. Schools taught in English, period. You had to speak English to be hired in businesses outside your ethnic ghettos. And you HAD to get a job, or starve.

Eliminate welfare, and eliminate requirements to accommodate Spanish in business and government, and they WILL learn English
