I don’t think he needed Trump to figure that out.

Stern was actually being nice. It’s not just the leadership we hate.

“SO TIRED OF BEING INVADED BY MUZZSLIMES and ILLEGALS!!! TIRED OF PAYING TAXES FOR EVERYONE ELSE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR KINDNESS!!”

I hear ya. We escaped Mexifornia, went Galt, will earn just enough to pay no taxes, become self-sufficient, and wait for the revolution/CW.

Love it. I did the same thing. Retired early from a law career and now play the market and collect enough dividends so that I pay very little in taxes. Got tired of paying hundreds of thousands in taxes each year to a government I despise, so that it can use my taxes to buy votes from people who have no desire to better themselves. I love what Trump is doing, although I am a Cruz man. The GOPe will never get another dollar from me.

“the voter base of the Republican Party absolutely hates the Republican Party leadership and establishment”

...and yet that same voter base continues to reelect the same people year after year after year. It’s insane.

The Republican Party leadership and establishment are traitors to the United States of America just like Traitorobama and the Demonicrats.

Actually. Bernie Sanders has the best handle on illegal immigration:

Bernie Sanders: It would make everybody in America poorer —you're doing away with the concept of a nation state, and I don't think there's any country in the world that believes in that. If you believe in a nation state or in a country called the United States or UK or Denmark or any other country, you have an obligation in my view to do everything we can to help poor people. What right-wing people in this country would love is an open-border policy. Bring in all kinds of people, work for $2 or $3 an hour, that would be great for them. I don't believe in that. I think we have to raise wages in this country, I think we have to do everything we can to create millions of jobs.

You know what youth unemployment is in the United States of America today? If you're a white high school graduate, it's 33 percent, Hispanic 36 percent, African American 51 percent. You think we should open the borders and bring in a lot of low-wage workers, or do you think maybe we should try to get jobs for those kids?

I think from a moral responsibility we've got to work with the rest of the industrialized world to address the problems of international poverty, but you don't do that by making people in this country even poorer.

The sentence in bold refers, of course, to the "Chamber of Commerce right-wing" and their lapdogs in the Republican party.

I don’t dissagree with what Bernie said there. But his prescription is socialism for the economy. And we know that doesn’t work.

We have thrown some out. I don't know the reasons but I can speculate:

Sounds like my story. Law early out, galt, etc.

Who do I hate more? The enemy who faces me, or the ‘friend’ with my back who crouched on his hands and knees directly behind me so my enemy could push me to the ground?

If you are in the highest tax bracket and you paid 100K a year in taxes you income was well over 300K/yr. Wow.

Time to get tough before the country falls off the cliff straight ahead.

Incidentally, title of book coming out on Debate day is “Time to get tough” author Donald Trump. I am buying it on Amazon. I understand Trump spells out his detailed plan for the country in there.

I really appreciate what Donald has brought to the table, i’m a Cruz guy but welcome Donald’s bold voice...I hope he doesn’t pull any tricks or fast ones on his followers.
