Pro-Trump Focus Group Make Frank Luntz’s Legs Wobble
Breitbart ^ | August 25, 2015 | John Nolte

Posted on 08/25/2015 6:01:08 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

After overseeing a focus group of 29 fervent Donald Trump supporters, Republican pollster and consultant Frank Luntz told a group of reporters that, “My legs are shaking.”

Although the Middle East is in chaos, our Southern border is in chaos, and our inner-cities are in chaos; although we are entering our seventh year of economic malaise as the national debt tops $18 trillion, the so-called Smart People in politics and media still can’t quite figure out why a wildly successful businessman promising change and to stick it to these same Smart People, is so danged popular.

“They should be thankful it’s nonviolent.”

Indeed! Obama has driven millions to arm themselves for the first time and millions more to substantially upgrade their arsenals.

"The most people we have ever deported in a year has been 250,000 people."

Care to flesh that claim out a bit ? Got a link to a source ?

I know that's what Jeb's cheerleaders are repeating, but I sure can't find anything that supports the claim.

Women captured crossing the border of child bearing age must be tested immediately for pregnancy. The pregnant ones must be processed first and deported first before they squirt one out.

We aren't a nation of rubes like the 'out-of-touch-elites' think we are.

No need for name calling, but your point on deterrence is valid. The fact remains that he cannot deport all the illegal aliens. That is a promise he knows he cannot keep. Isn’t the point of some of the anger with the establishment that they do not keep their promises?

What do you do with the ones that remain? Do they get amnesty like the wonderful ones that he is going to expedite bringing back into the country. To bad you can’t admit my point on amnesty is correct.

All I am asking is that a little thought be put into all the candidates positions. The shame is when you try you get flamed. Too bad, this should be a place where people can exchange ideas.

"I'm pissed I didn't think of it first."

Actually you did think of it first but I hacked into the FRmods new Quantum Computers and used the Tardis App and jumped a few days into the future and stole your post and used it now to look brilliant.

(Shhh... don't tell anyone...)

Hey, you win bonus points from me for using the word “literally” correctly.

You didn’t answer the point on Trump proposing amnesty. Too bad you cannot use intellect but have to resort to name calling.

AZ’S 1070 cracked down on the goodies and people were leaving AZ on their own in droves. Mexican consulates were lined up with people getting their papers in order so they could get their kids enrolled in Mexican schools when they got back. They were whining all over the news about needing to leave and not being able to survive without all the bennies.

You have to create a legitimate deterrent to crime. You don't start out by saying we can't deport everyone. That is giving up before you even start.

Clearly you have no clue......

Another issue Trump is right on; they would self deport with their American born children....

Arrest the illegal parents and put them in a detention center. The process to contest takes two years. Give them the option to have their anchor children to join them in the detention center or they go to foster care.

Then they face a choice, they can spend the next two years in detention watching their case proceed through the legal system where they will lose or accept a immediate bus ride back to Mexico. If they choose to fight extradition and lose, they can never return. If they take the bus back with their family, we would consider a expedited return based on need.

How many would stay in detention? My guess is more than 90% would be on the bus...

BTW...this is perfectly legal under current law....this would reduce cost and help keep the cases out of the courts.

Strict labor enforcement would keep them out of the workforce...not legal..no job...The only income they would have is welfare payments from their anchor babies...which runs the US Taxpayer approx. $72K/year per family (number includes administrative cost)

No money...no jobs...strict deportation enforcement....a lot will self deport....There is precedent during the 1950’s when a similar program was run....

Sooo..lets address the first paragraph of your post. Trump supporter=low information voter....people that haven’t thought things through...So please O’-great-one-of-enlightenment, what is your proposal?

Trump proposing amnesty is just lip service. I wish he wouldn't do it.

I am sure the first amnesty requirement under President Trump will be "first hell freezes over"....

Step number one. Build the wall.

Step number two. Enforce laws already on the books.

See GOPe? That’s not so hard to figure out.

Sorry I was incorrect. The 250,000 was the largest number of non-criminal deportations in a year. The record of total deportation is 438,000. But that is 2013 and I have read that Obama has been playing with the number to make it look like he is deporting large numbers. Still at 438,000 it would take 25 years.

Oh, you mean this:

Part of Trump’s immigration plan is that he will deport all of the illegal aliens, but the good ones will be let back in (”There are many wonderful people and I would expedite bringing them back in the country”). How many of them meet Trump’s wonderful index? This part of his plan sounds an awful lot like amnesty to me.

THIS??? This is what you call AMNESTY??!?

There's a reason I didn't address it before: That is because it is so nonsensical, it doesn't need addressed.

What you have described in bold, is call IMMIGRATION.

Dude.

Yer a moron.

I wish people wouldn’t bandy silly-putty, infinitely morphable jargon around. It makes the persons doing it look ignorant.

Self deportation has and will work. You are being a traitor to your fellow citizens by avoiding the obvious truth about the illegal invasion.

I’d say that you suck, for the Quantum Plagiarism, but it is more that you Schroedinger-suck. I don’t know if you do or do not suck until I open the box and collapse the probability field. :)

There's a whole lot of unused FEMA camps out there.

With serious mush now prevailing in the USSC, it’s going to be an uphill battle.

I know. My FEMA camp comment is a throwaway comment intended to outrage the liberal Republican contingent.
