If you can get Ted Cruz to switch his positions on H1B, he is a one viable alternative.
And what is China trumpeting there ace?
Devaluing it’s currency by 40%, prey tell what it’s doing.
The first six months of this year the trade imbalance with China was $170 billion.
We sold China about $57 billion worth of items, and bought about $220 some odd billion
We can’t sell there.
Trump wants a level playing field.
What’s wrong with that?
Protectionist? Do you have any concept of what you’re talking about?
No.
You don’t have to be a protectionist to realize this isn’t free trade by any stretch of the imagination.
Correcting the situation is not wrong. Agreeing to this in the first place was the thing that was out of context with free trade.
Which is exactly Jeb Bush's false promise and proves you're a clueless effeminate weakling on immigration. Here's Ike dealing with illegal immigration on the cheap:

I will not vote for Bush ever. Nor do I believe that he wants illegals out. Do the things that I mentioned... and also stop giving their children free education, and they will leave.
Uniparty or loose cannon.
Great choice, but at least the loose cannon might change things up. Maybe Trump has studied up on policy since the country started down the Obama path, and has come to see the light, or at least part of it. Maybe he’s punking the whole country and will jump out of a liberal cake at his inaugural ball.
Cruz may be the real deal, but his record isn’t perfect, and he was pretty evasive on building a border wall when he was jousting with Megyn Kelly a few days back. He may be a true conservative, but maybe not. I’ve read hit pieces on Cruz that make him sound pretty GOPe. He’s taking dough from the same folks who’ve corrupted the GOP. As yet, he hasn’t caught fire, and until he does Trump is the only game in town if you don’t want Jeb.
I’ve donated to Cruz, but at this point, warts and all, Trump is the only candidate who seems to have a shot at derailing the Jeb express. I don’t like it one bit, but I’d rather have Trump the wrecking ball than more of the same from GOPe.
Trump may turn out to be a liberal snake in the grass, but given the choice between grabbing the snake and sinking into the GOPe quicksand, I’ll take the chance that the snake won’t bite me too bad, or if he does there might be a chance to fix it, ‘cause the other option is going under slowly but surely.
I remember those who opposed Mitt Romney on the FR who trashed him to no end. You could never pin them down on who they supported. Never. I wonder if they are actually Democrats working to stir the pot and using the Free Republic as their little game.
And yet you oppose the border wall, without which you have only empty promises of "cutting off benefits". Meanwhile, they'll still be coming across the border, selling drugs, and murdering people.
It calls him a fan of Obamacare by quoting Trump stating why he isn’t for it, but instead relying on Trump having backed single-payer years ago. Trump has clearly articulated a very conservative approach to healthcare reform, but this post cherry picks by avoiding that and trying to make it sound as if Trump supported single payer during the Obamacare debate.
All of this is not the pattern of someone who is just now honestly researching and deciding that Trump isn’t pure enough for him.
I read Dreams from My Father when Hillary was still the presumptive nominee, but Obama was coming on strong. I can honestly say that nothing that has happened has been a surprise. Horrifying, yes, but not a surprise, given his background.
Umm, we had protectionism for the first 140 or so years of our republic. Are you saying the US was socialist in the 1870s?
Why is economic protectionism so bad when the consequences of not doing it so far worse? Educate me.
Did history just begin for you when you woke up this morning?
The auto bailout was a policy/plan Bush and that liberal Bush appointee, Hank Paulsen dreamed up.
Paulsen came from Goldman Sachs...You know the same Goldman Sachs that Heidi Cruz works or worked for. BTW, FYI, Heidi Cruz is way more qualified than her husband to be President.
Donald Trump is big business. He does/did what he had/has to do to survive. He employs tens of thousands of people. He wasn't about to come out bashing a new (believe it or not) popular President.
Some of you slack jawed dimwits are too stupid and your hatred is too deep for any of you to fathom what makes the world go around. That's why people like Trump have success and you have your miserable useless lives sitting around sniveling.
Romney is effectively a Democrat. Even Democrats can be Nice Guys.
Taxes Obamacare, and regulation—that’s Obama’s big three economic agenda. And Trump largely doesn’t support any of it.
Trump’s for lower taxes, not higher taxes. He didn’t back Obamacare at the time and he wants to replace it with a conservative, market-based solution. And regulation? Trump’s not for the kind of EPA regulations or workforce meddling that have been central to Obama’s approach.
Protectionism raises prices to consumers and cuts off American industry from the world. It chases large American employers offshore so that they can compete in the wider world and makes the protected industries lose efficiency. Reducing their competition lessens the drive for lower costs and higher quality.
I am aware of that which is why I said most. Most of what is quoted is about Obama which is no more than 6.5 years old.
Ted is good. I like him best. He will never be nominated.
This covers it as best I can. You won’t like most of it, but inside is an explanation why we haven’t nominated a Conservative since Reagan. The GOPe RINO is always the nominee.

I sympathize and agree.
My candidate is Cruz and I will vote for him in the primary and in the general if he’s the nominee. I am on the fence about Walker because of his recent “I don’t have a position on anchor babies and illegals already here until we have a wall.” So a vote for him is up in the air.
As for Trump, if he is the nominee, I will vote for him, but outside of these possible three, any other name on the ballot and I’m staying home.
The Republican party either needs to win with a real conservative, or with Trump who has reintroduced “illegal” to our national narrative. Either way, I’m done with the GOP, I’d sooner see their whole lying backstabbing house of cards burn to the ground first.
Trump speaking of odumbo:...”honestly, he has to do a really good job or this country maybe will never be the same.”.... We can’t say odumbo hasn’t done a good job of “destroying this country and indeed, it may never be the same.
“We had eight years of a horrendous president, a terrible president. You cannot get worse”........than odumbo.
How do you combat a country like China that puts tariffs on our products and manipulates their currency to reduce the value of our products? Shouldn’t there be a tit for tat to make their game harder to play?
