Trump is already fulfilling campaign promises. They are self deporting.

Good. Many if not most of the GOP who are simply warmed-over Democrats should do the same. We need a party that stands for limited government, the Constitution, and individual and political freedom.

Smoke ‘em out! Amazing...and nothing the DEMS have done or enacted was offensive? Benghazi, Obamacare, cake baking, white house rainbow, transgender bathrooms.....NONE OF THIS means anything? This is what they want to join?

Exactly. Who gives a da**? Sounds like a couple of RINOs just wanting to grab headlines.

Trump doing us a service by squeezing the scum out of the Republican Party already. These two remind me of why I left the Republican Party.

You oughta know by now
Who needs a house out in Hackensack
Is that all you get with your money

It seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
Mama if that's movin' up
Then I'm movin' out

Since New Jersey is famous for political corruption (regardless of stripe) like Tennessee is for music or Alaska for outdoors activities, this must be great advertising for The Donald.

Representative Scott Garrett of NJ’s 5th Congressional District is the only one that comes to mind.

"Labrosse and Canestrino say there was not a specific comment that influenced their decision. They say it was the general tone of the campaign."

Peasant 1: We have found a witch, may we burn her?

(cheers)

Vladimir: How do you known she is a witch?

P2: She looks like one!

V: Bring her forward

(advance)

Woman: I'm not a witch! I'm not a witch!

V: ehh... but you are dressed like one.

W: They dressed me up like this!

All: naah no we didn't... no.

W: And this isn't my nose, it's a false one.

(V lifts up carrot)

V: Well?

P1: Well we did do the nose

V: The nose?

P1: ...And the hat, but she is a witch!

(all: yeah, burn her burn her!)

V: Did you dress her up like this?

P1: No! (no no... no) Yes. (yes yeah) a bit (a bit bit a bit) But she has got a wart!

(P3 points at wart)

V: What makes you think she is a witch?

P2: Well, she turned me into a newt!

V: A newt?!

(P2 pause & look around)

P2: I got better.

(pause)

P3: Burn her anyway! (burn her burn her burn!)

As always, when dealing with morons like this you must ask “Which statements are racist?”

MAKE THEM BE SPECIFIC!!

Do not settle for “you know, the ones about mexicans”

NOTHING he has said is racist and I am getting tireed of them calling it that.
