Saunders yields to her lords and masters.

Nice try Debbie. Just hope that the Opecker Princes and other Jihadists didn’t pay you for this bs. That might buy you a one way trip out of America if so.

Debbie and her fellow traveler mediot fools are unknowingly backing their criminal Obama re his refusal to use his existing Constitutional power to shut down muslim aliens entering the country until they can be properly vetted. This will surge Trump again in the polls.

Per existing federal law at 8 USC 1182:

Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to appropriate.

Current laws banning admission to the US, and not requiring new laws. Just need someone like Trump to have them enforced:

http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/USCODE-2011-title8/html/USCODE-2011-title8-chap12-subchapII-partII-sec1182.htm
gpo~government printing office:

No admission for any alien for Security and related grounds

(3) Security and related grounds
(A) In general
Any alien who a consular officer or the Attorney General knows, or has reasonable ground to believe, seeks to enter the United States to engage solely, principally, or incidentally in
(i) any activity (I) to violate any law of the United States relating to espionage or sabotage or (II) to violate or evade any law prohibiting the export from the United States of goods, technology, or sensitive information,
(ii) any other unlawful activity, or
(iii) any activity a purpose of which is the opposition to, or the control or overthrow of, the Government of the United States by force, violence, or other unlawful means,

is inadmissible.
(B) Terrorist activities
(i) In general
Any alien who
(I) has engaged in a terrorist activity;
(II) a consular officer, the Attorney General, or the Secretary of Homeland Security knows, or has reasonable ground to believe, is engaged in or is likely to engage after entry in any terrorist activity (as defined in clause (iv));
(III) has, under circumstances indicating an intention to cause death or serious bodily harm, incited terrorist activity;
(IV) is a representative (as defined in clause (v)) of—
(aa) a terrorist organization (as defined in clause (vi)) or
(bb) a political, social, or other group that endorses or espouses terrorist activity;

(V) is a member of a terrorist organization described in subclause (I) or (II) of clause (vi)
(VI) is a member of a terrorist organization described in clause (vi)(III), unless the alien can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the alien did not know, and should not reasonably have known, that the organization was a terrorist organization;
(VII) endorses or espouses terrorist activity or persuades others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization;
(VIII) has received military-type training (as defined in section 2339D(c)(1) of title 18) from or on behalf of any organization that, at the time the training was received, was a terrorist organization (as defined in clause (vi)); or
(IX) is the spouse or child of an alien who is inadmissible under this subparagraph, if the activity causing the alien to be found inadmissible occurred within the last 5 years,
is inadmissible. An alien who is an officer, official, representative, or spokesman of the Palestine Liberation Organization is considered, for purposes of this chapter, to be engaged in a terrorist activity.

Rush Limbaugh discusses how Jimmy Carter used this law to expel thousands of Iranians.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3370465/posts

Trump’s “Nutty” Proposal Is Already the Law of the Land
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | December 9, 2015 | Rush Limbaugh

Over here, everybody in the establishment in the political class, Republican, Democrat, media, you name it, is all claiming that what Trump said is dumb, stupid, reckless, dangerous, unconstitutional, while it is the law of the land. And it was utilized by Jimmy Carter, no less, in 1979 to keep Iranians out of the United States, but he actually did more. He made all Iranian students already here check in, and then he deported a ton of them.

There is precedent for everything Donald Trump has said he wants to do. And if you listen to the wizards of smart in this country and our political establishment, you will think that this stuff is just unheard of, it’s almost unspeakable, it’s just indecent. Here we have in the establishment the reputed best and brightest, the smartest. We’re not even qualified to be in their company no less. And they’re dunces on this.

In November the 1979 United States attorney general had given all Iranian students one month to report to the local immigration office. Seven thousand were found in violation of their visas, 15,000 Iranians were forced to leave the United States, 1979. When this law, inadmissible aliens I just read to you, which I’m gonna be reading a lot to you today to the point you’re gonna get tired of hearing it, but you won’t forget it.

Please send this to fellow conservatives, media outlets and to liberals, who need a whack in the head with reality of how their President Truman signed this law and later Carter used it to get rid of a lot of potentially dangerous Iranians.

On what planet will Trump walk back his words, which have lead to a further increase in his lead at the polls?

What leftist/elitist dripe.

Journalists, pundits, GOPe, anyone with any interest in this are judged by how they can deal with the truth, now, anyway.

Here’s one.

Imagine all presidential candidates - Hmm, it’s like teaching school. the teacher looks at a student and imagines it’s not just him she’s dealing with, it’s his parents too.

For instance, Cruz, Kasich, Hillary, they all say things, then they go back to the people from whom they received and will receive the billions it takes to get into the White House.

They are the power, certainly not conservative voters not even the rule of law and the constitution.

Imagine any candidate saying something true but which goes against the current corrupt climate ruining this country.

His bosses, I mean donors, demand that he walk it back.

Pundits slam him.

Now imagine Trump.

He has no donors. A handwritten sign on the wall in his campaign office says, “Let Trump be Trump.”

Journalists are silly to not see the interview video that shows that. They’re silly to not take it for what it means.

Any day now Journalists will figure it out. Trump is running for president.

Cruz appeals to me because I share his ideological views and appreciate his unbending principled intellectual depth.

However, I have to acknowledge that the reason Cruz now has a chance is Trump has so moved the Overton window toward our side that is has significantly crippled the DC Media/Political class's ability to stage manage the election this time.

The Overton window, also known as the window of discourse, is the range of ideas the public will accept. It is used by media pundits.[1][2] The term is derived from its originator, Joseph P. Overton (1960–2003),[3] a former vice president of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy,[4] who in his description of his eponymous window claimed that an idea's political viability depends mainly on whether it falls within the window, rather than on politicians’ individual preferences.[5] According to Overton’s description, his window includes a range of policies considered politically acceptable in the current climate of public opinion, which a politician can recommend without being considered too extreme to gain or keep public office.

“Does anyone think that Trump is anywhere near being a conservative?”

Maybe, maybe not.

Here’s the question, Does anyone think that donors giving billions to any other candidate will allow them to be a conservative when they get the White House?

When will “good” Muslims turn in bad Muslims? As of now the good Muslims are NOT alerting Americans to their own kind that are terrorists. The threat of deportation may motivate the Muslims that consider themselves “good” Americans to police their own kind.
Trump shoots from the hip but he will still make a damn good president. Right now the status quo politicians are so damn dishonest, selfish and corrupt, and those who truly dislike Trump are in fear that this man may sniff them out for what they are. Our MSM is a cesspool if deceit and they have the most to hide. GO TRUMP!

What's amazing is that the people complaining the loudest don't want to discuss it, but rather want to dismiss it out of hand.

Why?

ISIS has said that they are seeding the refugees w/ operatives. We know it only takes a few to cause massive damage. Shouldn't all ideas be on the table to prevent another massacre?

For my money anybody that resorts to the "bigotry" or "racist" argument is a PC phony and they are the real enemy.

He won’t implode for a while yet,but he will. The fever should burn itself out. She is so right about trumpees - just like Hillary’s supporters,they don’t let facts get in the way of their support. Trump
And all that with an adult candidate in front of them with more knowledge of history and the world situation,and arguably the best constitutional mind on the right,and who Trump seems to have copied most of his views...and they have the fever.
Looking oh so forward to next week’s debate.

Of course not, but to a Trump supporter, not being in lockstep with whatever Trump happens to be spouting today = RINO.

It’s a cult of personality, no use arguing with them.

Unfortunately, many here do. Kick out the wetbacks and blow up the sand people sound conservative enough to them. They dig no deeper than that.

The Clintons were honest politicians, they stayed bought. You paid them and they stayed out of your business. It was partly why business flourish during that time. You knew what to expect.

Obama will take your money, turn around and squeeze more out of you and then stab you in the back. You have no idea what to expect.

“Unpredictable”, one of Trumps skills. Keep’em guessing, don’t give away your trump card (no pun intended).

Trump likes to keep the media running Down dead end rabbit trails, and does it consistently, and well.

In chess, he’s 20 moves ahead of the media at all times. They’re the ones who end up with egg on their collective faces every time a poll comes out.

The GOPe is soiling their Depends over the possibility that he’ll take it all the way, while the left sees it as a national day of mourning.

All of their sacred cows, Bush, Rubio, et al are falling faster than the Obama gross national product.

Panic is ensuing amongst these distractors and the media frenzy is already near the boiling point. But remember, only the media can create a media frenzy, a.k.a., tantrum when things don’t go their way.

In the end, the people are still in charge.

The really sad part is, some people are so anti-Trump, they won’t listen to him. So they march out to take him down knowing nothing about the man other than media reports from five to 35 years ago.

I don’t know many Conservatives that haven’t become more conservative over five to 35 years.

“GOP rivals have been slow to slam Trump for his scurrilous statements, lest they offend Trump’s cultlike followers. Clinton, who attended Trump’s 2005 wedding, will have no such qualms.”

“GOP rivals” == Ted Cruz. Debra, you’re a LIAR. All the rest have given their all to slam Trump and only INCREASED his support Trump’s support by those hated by your cult.
