I’d post the Newty-Palousy couch photo here in support of your observation, but my desktop is aways off.

"You particularly don't want to see your candidate who needs to...get stronger with Latinos, and stronger with women, attack a Latina woman Republican governor."

Trump is sending a message: You attack him, he will hit back, and neither your race, ethnicity, nor sex will allow you to attack him with impunity.

And this is the humility we want in the leader of the free world? In response to an attack on the nation, of course. In response to a personal attack - childish and petulant.

I suppose you would prefer the Bush style of letting people lie about you, savage you, call you a nazi, suggest assasinating you and humbly saying nothing because that would be undignified.

Presidential. Very nice. Then when Hillary wins we will have an entire generation of people raised on Obama / Hillary and a SCOTUS with 6 or 7 leftists on it we may console ourselves that throughout it our side retained its' dignity.

Humility?

Hell no. I want a fighter who punches back.

If Martinez can’t take the heat she can get the hell out of the kitchen. It was her own big mouth that made her a target in the first place.

[Paladin2]

Thanks. Case-in-point.

Martinez was another one who was supposed to be the great GOP conservative hope. Turns out she's just another globalist working to turn America into a 3rd world hell hole.

I guess it's all she knows anyway, because New Mexico is pretty much that way. It's one of my favorite places as far as beauty and weather but it's crime ridden (more gangs per capita than LA), nothing works, and it's called the "land of mañana".

I’ve found NM to be the largest State Park of Texas.

‘I was one of those mystified folks until some well informed Freepers told me of the above. As always, Trumps actions make sense once all the facts are known.’

I agree with your thoughts but feel I would go one step farther, it seems she is more Latino than Republican. She would have a short drive south and find everybody she could want to agree with her. She can’t be pro Mexican and pro American at the same time. It doesn’t make sense to even try that route.

I lived there for a few years in my early 20s. It was great. Barely anyone lived there and you could go see these amazing places and virtually no one else would be there or maybe a handful of people.

We quickly realized though, unless you worked for one of the labs you probably were not going to make a ton of money--so we left.

We drove through there four years ago and it looked like it had grown considerably. (Albuquerque).

I’m in favor of the place. Many ski areas of merit if the Winter is good. Plenty of archaeological and alien sites to see in the Summer. Not that it’s bad, but plenty of Texans...

“She was on many people’s lists of VP possibilities. She blew that all to hell. “

Good.

[riri]

Agreed. If you like four seasons--best weather ever. My only complaint is the spring can be very windy.

Initially, we felt like we had found this secret perfect place no one else knew about.
