Has ANYONE downloaded the Fox News reaction app? You react to what the candidates are saying via the app. Think luntz’s dial o reaction devices.

This would be a good way to neutralize the jbush canned same old same old talking points.

Thousands upon thousands of H1-B visa employees have only just graduated from college, meaning they’ve only just finished taking courses in engineering or computer programming.

In other words, they have have SKILLS in NAME ONLY.

There is no need for many of them to be in the USA, since they still need years of on the job training and mentoring to become productive employees.

And, I’ll admit, I’m still very pro-middle class worker.

Then you are no Democrat or liberal...it's been decades since they were about the middle class worker. But please please don't fall for liberal populism as a way to protect the middle class worker. All those attempts are fools errands.

I agree. He’s been a street fighter his entire life. The other day when doing research : there is a PAC of technical staff from Hollywood who plan to do a series of videos using their talent. The spokesman said it will take multiple segments to cover his time at the Military School and he personally could not have survived it.
Statement gives me a different facet of his tough side

I notice in all these so-called articles, no one ever names who these big GOP power brokers are. Other than the C of C I don’t know them.

You bring up an excellent point!

WhoTH will be in the audience anyway? Not voters like us, that’s for sure.

I’m with you...to hell with the GOP. They have lied and stabbed us in the back far too often to have any credibility left with the base. Thus they lost in 1996, 2008 and 2012. Then they blame the base for being stupid.

No way to go through life.

... GOP power brokers who are said to have made it clear to operatives linked to a variety of candidate camps ...

Didn't we already suspect that the crony communist donors paid most of the 23, or 37, or 42, vanity candidates to dilute the field so as to allow their stooge (JEB) to win with the same 20% of primary voters that nominated the loser Romney in 2012?

People are supporting Trump because those communist pissants must be defeated.

I’m a Cruz fan but he’s starting to sound like a consultant with talking points. He no longer answers questions off the top of his head like he used to. It’s all sound bites now. If he keeps doing what the consultants want he’ll lose.

I saw him on Fox the other day (Megyn Kelly I think)and he completely ignored a question and went straight to a practiced talking point and never let go regardless of the follow up questions. I cringed.

Ok,both. At the end of the day they’re all owned by somebody. And they could care less about voters.

No, most corporations donate heavily to the Dem side of things.

The influence is used to limit competition. Who does Buffet support? Gates? Apple? What does their support buy them?

The Unions are small fry on the national scale

Actually, unions are the biggest financial special interest group of all. Much of it is government unions, but also AFL CIO and Teamsters etc.

I understand your wish but you are a political person- a student of history and law- my father was the same. His children and grandchildren us that terminology only when they quote dad

TRUMP comes from a family of men who first of all worked with their hands Restaurant/hotel owner. Builder who emerged into a developer. He went into the family business bringing his education from Wharton home to not only work with his father but expand his ancestors dream.
Rubio. Cruz, Jindel, all toot their families successful American dream. Trump.is the epitome of it. His mother Mary from Scotland. His paternal grandparents penniless from Germany (When Germans needed to lie about where they were from and change the family name.)
In three generations the Trump family have come from penniless to multimillionaire

Follow the money.

In Illinois, the unions don’t have near the pull than a John Deere or Caterpillar does.

Unions donate a lot, don’t get me wrong, but the corporations write the policy that becomes the laws. They fund the PAC’s that fund the candidates.
