With all the work I have been doing with We the People Rising in California, Donald Trump has grown on me a little.
I still think he's a rodeo clown. I still think that Bobby Jindal or Ted Cruz should be our next President. But like Kurt Schlichter, and many of my other conservative friends in the South Bay, I have no problem voting for a candidate with such unrestrained boldness of speech. Plus his stance on immigration touches the frustrations of Middle America and the working classes, fed up with Big Government in collusion with Big Labor and the Chamber of Commerce to enrich themselves at the expense of everyone else.
No, I am not endorsing Donald Trump, but I would vote for him if it came to that.
More importantly, though, I support the ideas and inspirations which surround him.
Now, with all of that out of the way (and yes, I had to swallow hard writing that I could vote for the Donald), I will now declare what I hate about Donald Trump.
I hate the allegations of racism leveled against him. I hate the Left-wing attacks against this real estate mogul because he wants to deport illegal aliens, and more importantly has called out the politically incorrect truth: illegal aliens are committing crimes in our country.
Now, I want to attack the bizarre petition to prevent Donald Trump from hosting Saturday Night Live this November 7th. As I had written before, I will clear out my Saturday Night calendar to watch the Donald. He's a funny guy, and he is spot on on just about everything, as long as he stops talking about single-payer healthcare. Unfiltered, unintimidated, he speaks his mind without hiding anything, even if it appears that he has nothing much on his mind to say ("I make deals. I'll fix it. I'll build a wall'). Still, this unrestrained demonstration of clear and convincing assurance is so lacking in our country right now.
We need it now more than ever.
I wish that a better candidate were speaking so clearly the unflinching truth. Well, actually there are two – Jindal and Cruz – but Trump has somehow mastered the Media game as no one else could. Too many people have seen him on TV.
So, let’s talk about Saturday Night Live. I will be watching, and before the show, I will be reporting to NBC and all related media affiliates: let the Donald host. I am tired of the liberal loony left throwing a fit every time someone they dislike gets a major gig. They go out of their fascist, illiberal way to ensure that no one else has any fun. The political correctness has run amok in this country, and now it’s time to run it off the ranch. Besides, Trump has hosted and guest-starred a number of times, and he was good!
Please, let the Donald host SNL. Have him play a skit with Tracy Morgan as Brian Fellow’s fellow on "Safari Planet." How about another round of "Celebrity Jeopardy", with other comedians playing Bill and Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama? Maybe we'd get some straight answers, or at least woe would see how clueless and inept these candidates really are.
Not just the SNL "boycott", but let's denounce that terrible, awful, no good, very bad commercial "Deport Racism". Wow. In that YouTube video, Hispanic youth shout expletives and racist rants against Donald Trump in heavily accented English. It's bad, sad, and exploitative.
And racist. Trump blasted this terrible video with two words: "It backfired." You bet. Why? Because the means have occluded the message, which is patently false to begin with. The means: little children cursing and swearing? Really? Such conduct is offensive and disgusting in itself. If the students were cursing against abortion or gun control, I would still hate the means. When communicating a message, never use a method guaranteed to turn off the intended audience. Moreover, having clearly Hispanic youth speaking in very affected Spanish is stereotyping writ large. The distinctive mixture of accented English and interspersed Spanish words exposed the false and misleading nature of the commercial.
As for the message: the producers wanted votes against the Donald. They end up providing more reasons to down-vote that YouTube clip. Hispanics around the country support Trump. I even know Hispanics in California who support him. Here's a clip from a resident in heavily Latino Huntington Park, CA who supports Trump, interviewed by another Latino who is voting for him. During the first few hours of the clip's release, viewers exposed the number of down-votes changing. Someone behind the scenes was trying to remove them. That attempt to diminish the disapproval of anti-Trump racism failed, too.
Big Media, promoting the Big Government statist status quo, must accept that We the People are not buying their political correctness. The timely and telegenic ascendancy of Donald Trump is the full frontal slap in the face to special interests telling the public what is in their best interests. Stop illegal immigraton, let the Donald host his show, and deport anti-Trump racism.
Deport racism figuratively, deport illegal aliens literally.
I identify as a registered Republican Hispanic female supporting Donald Trump for POTUS.
Bottom line is this, America needs a businessman to bring it back, politicians have failed miserably.
And absolutely NO CANDIDATE has a fraction of Trumps expertise and success.
Experiance “Trumps” political rhetoric.
Go Trump Go
“I wish that a better candidate were speaking so clearly the unflinching truth. Well, actually there are two – Jindal and Cruz – but Trump has somehow mastered the Media game as no one else could. Too many people have seen him on TV.”
Jindal, yes.
Cruz refuses to say what he’ll do with the millions of illegals here. He ‘says’ he’s not for amnesty but won’t define what he means by that. McCain also said he wasn’t for amnesty, LOL! Not a good sign, IMO, when other candidates are speaking clearly on the issue. He says he’ll deal with border security first - then ‘have the discussion’ on what to do with the millions of illegals. He says Americans don’t want to have that discussion until the border is dealt with. BS - conservatives want that discussion! so I don’t trust him. He’s not saying because he has something to hide. Maybe his donors’ influence.
Amnesty is anything other than deporting them. if they get to stay here, then they’ve been given amnesty - forgiven for breaking our laws and allowed benefits those waiting in line, filling out forms and paying fees are denied. If allowed to stay, like Carson’s guest worker program, then WE still pay for their kids’ education, health care, food stamps, welfare, etc. And it’s just one small step from there to citizenship and voting for democrats. Once they are given legal status, they are here to stay-along with all their family members.
The only 2 not talking amnesty are Jindal (not doing well in the polls) and Cruz (who isn’t talking at all)
I’ll stick with Trump, who is saying the right things right now.
Awesome!
You are an endangered species:)
"Strong minds discuss IDEAS;The 2016 campaign for President of the United States should focus on the mind of that candidate who focuses on IDEAS--specifically, that candidate who is able to articulate and discuss the ideas of liberty and individual freedom, as contrasted with the ideas of tyranny and coercive control of some imperfect human beings by other likewise imperfect human beings in government.
Average minds discuss events;
Small minds discuss people."
Excellent point.
Candidates make a lot of promises just to get elected and after they are elected they forget their promises.
Thanks but no thanks
You wrote that Cruz says he's not for amnesty but won't define what he means by that>
What is there to define? He's against amnesty not for it.
You rock Rona Badger!
Cruz has not uttered the words “Deport Illegals”.
If you do not deport, what is the result?
Correct, Illegals are allowed to stay!
I call that a serious form of Amnesty.
So instead of going with a candidate that is talking about doing EXACTLY what we want done, we should doubt him and go with a candidate that is saying they will implement amnesty and hope they change their mind 180 degrees and stick to it?
That would be insane.
And the definition of amnesty is letting illegals stay. Cruz’ definition is very important because even McCain said he wasn’t for amnesty- only for giving them citizenship and letting them stay. The ‘A’ word isn’t one politicians use these days, not when saying honestly what they are for.
Cruz is deafeningly silent. I’ve been waiting months for him to elucidate what he will do with millions of illegals and why we need a 500% increase in H1Bs. I’ve even defended him here, knowing he’d have a brilliant answer.
I was wrong.
So I switched to a candidate with a real plan.
And how do I know he’ll implement it? There’s a much better chance he will enforce our existing illegal immigration laws than all them other candidates, since not one talks about doing so.
” as long as he stops talking about single-payer healthcare. “
I am loving all this.
Donald sticks in this guys craw, but he is being forced to say he’ll vote for him anyway.
So then he has to tell a lie to make up for the voting thing.
I hope there is a pin in whatever it is sticking in this guys craw and it tears things open on the way down.
I hate these so holy nearly GOPe guys, and hope this hurts them for the next 9 years.
“He’s against amnesty not for it. “
++
Are you sure, he hasn’t talked about deporting them.
The only thing he has actually done is go to the border to give out teddy bears to encourage more to come over.
The more they try to hit him, the stronger he bounces back.
I love those giffs. brilliant
