Schumer: Trump 'right on the money' defending NY

New Yorkers tend to leave others alone unless it’s an emergency. You’ve never noticed that? Besides, traffic moves so slowly, the chance of an accident because of lights being on or off is minimal. I’m sure people signal each other once they’re on the BQE because it’s important once the speed picks up. On the other hand, I’ve never noticed that one way or the other.

If you hate NYers so much, why are you there? I don’t get it.

And if I was to use your logic, since you didn’t answer my question, I guess you DO ride on the sidewalks. Not nice.

Listen closely to what Trump is actually proposing. In an interview with CNN's Dana Bash earlier this year, Trump explained his plan this way:

I would get people out and then have an expedited way of getting them back into the country so they can be legal. A lot of these people are helping us and sometimes it's jobs a citizen of the United States doesn't want to do. I want to move 'em out, and we're going to move 'em back in and let them be legal

there you have it, 'the Donald' and his amnesty plan 'we are going to move em out and we're going to move em back in and let them be legal'

Again that is a distortion because it leaves out what Trump has always stated, which is that ALL immigrants seeking to enter the United States must be properly vetted. That is why he has proposed ending ALL Muslim immigration until we can determine how badly our Nation has been infiltrated and infested with potential terrorist cells.

Likewise, Trump has pledged to reverse Obama's amnesty executive order on 'Day One', so as far as claiming that Trump wants to give amnesty to 11 million illegals, you need to look at ALL of the record, not just cherry pick a few quotes that fit into your own personal political preference.

And you still didn't post the URL.

None are so blind as those who refuse to see.

The man tells everyone he is going to legalize 11m illegals, and the zombies nod their head in approval. That is a lot of things, but conservative is not one of them.

If you hate NYers so much, why are you there? I don't get it.

There are many things I like about the city, but being around and dealing with these self-absorbed yuppy millennials is definitely not one of them.

[one Lord one faith one baptism]

We are going to move them out and move them back in and make them legal.

I don’t even think Jeb Bush is that far left, but the Donald assures me it’s going to be great and the Donald is never wrong. ( at least that’s what the zombies tell me )

[miss marmelstein]

In my opinion, only yuppies ride bikes in the city. They’re a menace.

[ETL]

Here we go again with the most. My Aunt has a Chinese friend who is a tailor. They chat, my aunt brings her eggplant and her friend just fixed her new coat for her.

I was more referring to the average Chinese person on the street. They wouldn't stop to help you if you were lying there bleeding to death. This is much less true for those of them more assimilated into the culture.

[ETL]

In my opinion, only yuppies ride bikes in the city. They're a menace.

I agree. Many are (a menace). But then so are the large number of fools who walk across busy Manhattan streets while texting. Also the 5 or more jerks I tell a day that their lights are off.

[miss marmelstein]

This horrible idea of turning NYC into a pedestrian walkway and taking half the streets away for ridiculously wide bike lanes - as if New York streets were designed by Baron Von Haussmann - is a scourge that I hope one day will be remedied. At least Ed Koch finally admitted that his narrow, puny little bike lanes were a disaster and eventually removed them. I’m usually the pedestrian with an phone but on the other hand, when I drive in NYC, I aim to kill people (or bike riders) who get in front of my car.

9/11 got his attention.
He converted in 2011.
I thought conservatives were trying to win converts.

[LMAO]

Mid 50’s

[Oceander]

Liberals circling the wagons around one of their own. Too bad the Trump worshipers are so unwilling to face reality.

[Hattie]

This Cruz/Trump fiasco is just the reason politicizing of 9/11, wars, disasters (think NOrleans hurricane), great tragedies to our country, etal- used to fall under an unwritten rule of “Don’t Do It”.

That is until Democrats found they could no longer win any elections without doing just that (plus using fraudulent voters).

Now it seems anyone can politicize anything. And no one has the gray matter to see how poorly it reflects on the country. Guess the Repubs should start using fraudulent voters too now, what the heck.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I was wondering, did Trump ever call Bill Clinton nasty?

Or would it be rude to call a wedding guest (and his wife) nasty?

[randita]

Donald Trump most definitely isn’t Mitt Romney or John McCain

True. He's more liberal than either of them.

[RC one]

You’re smoking crack. DJT is good to go on Guns, Immigration, border Security, military, foreign policy, drug policy, and tax policy. Good enough for me right there.

[BobL]

Since EVERY OTHER CANDIDATE has compromised or at least tried to compromise on Republican core values (H1-B anyone?), I guess we just have to use other criteria when selecting someone.

[goodwithagun]

I would end up voting for Trump on the principle that he is a businessman and not a politician. I also truly believe that he loves our country, and what a breath of fresh air that is. If Cruz doesn’t get the nom I see that as God’s sign that Cruz is still needed in the Senate. He would also make one helluva Supreme.

[randita]

Show me a voting record. Anyone can say what they think people want to hear.

[RC one]

That’s certainly true of politicians...like Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio for example. Hell Cruz even told us he’s a natural born citizen. LOL! I take Trump at his word however to abide by the policy statements he has issued.
