Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Those who believe in tight border security, stopping illegal immigration & SMART trade deals w/other countries should boycott @Macys.
Haven’t shopped Macy’s in years. Macy’s used to be an upscale store, but now after buying May, it went middle class...rather buy from Dillard or even Sears.
Macy’s used to be upscale, now after buying Mays (Filene’s, Burdines, other stores) it is middle class junk. Rather buy clothes from Dillard or Sears. R.H. Macy’s would hate his store now...
What you can’t make any clearer, is that immigration and trade never mattered to you.
You are blinded by your dislike of Trump.
Confronted with a choice between people who refuse to say what Trump did, or back a man you think might not follow through, you have chosen to back people who will not only not follow through with the same things, they refused to promise to do them in the first place.
That to you seems to be a win/win.
To me it’s a certain loss. Backing Trump on these matters is not a certain loss. It’s a possibility, something we don’t have with anyone else.
Possibility to get something accomplished on these matters, or no possibility of it. That is your choice.
You made it. If you get your way, there won’t be any action on illegal immigration or trade.
You mean you missed out on the high prices, lousy customer service and being pestered by people trying to spray you with cologne?
Growing up in Connecticut, my parents shopped for us at G. Fox, Brown-Thompson, Sage-Allen in Hartford, Seapark’s in East Hartford, D&L in Manchester along with Sears, Penny’s, Ward’s and J.M. Fields, Mammouth Mart, King’s and Caldor’s. All, except Sears and Penny’s, gone.
LOL!
Now you're just being silly. I am known as the biggest opponent of La Raza Rick Perry because of his pro-ILLEGAL alien past. I maintained the anti-Perry ping list. Given what I do for a living and my close proximity to the border I have probably been more adversely affected by ILLEGAL immigration than anyone here. I live so close to the US/Mexican border if I climb the hill behind my home I can see it. But you say "immigration and trade never mattered" to me because I don't support a loud mouthed circus sideshow pretending to be a conservative?
You're going to have to do better than that D1. Far better. lol!
Macy’s swallow all the other stores up.....that’s why they aren’t around anymore.
No, in reality I don’t have to do a thing.
You’ve already done it.
Your antics if successful will assure that nobody addresses illegal immigration or our trade policies.
I shop at Macy’s but they do have mostly JUNK.....Junk styles and HORRIBLE FABRICS!!!
If you say so.
What if Ralph Lauren said something Macy’s didn’t like??? Beware of this FEDERATED FACISM!!! Federated is RUN by GAYS....they probably make up 50% of the workforce. Terry Lungren may not be a HOMOSEXUAL but most under him are.
I’m in.
Have they, as he did? No.
There’s your answer.
My "antics" as you put it are to call out the circus sideshow charlatan Donald Trump for what he is. And to say nobody will address the ILLEGAL immigration issue is to ignore the fact that Ted Cruz already has.
And most of us at Free Republic are well aware of what LBJ did to America!
I am not supporting any candidate yet, for 2016. But in 51 years, I have never been able to forgive or forget the stabbing in the back in 1964. And the idiotic statement issued by Macy's now, is cut from the same clothe as the 1964 smears of Barry Goldwater.
Federated are no friends of traditional American values--not when the chips are down.
No, Trump's response is childish, as I said above, but nice try.
It took him about 2:15 into a 6:49 clip to begin to address what he would do.
He first addressed securing the border. What is the fist thing any Leftist addresses when talking about illegal immigration? Isn’t it securing the border?
I’m not saying he’s a Leftist, but by gosh he’s sure got the talking points down. Ask any Leftist, and on this point they’re identical with Ted Cruz. They’ll secure that border. Here we are in 2015, and how much securing has been done? Zip!
Ted is a Senator right now. How many bills has he submitted to get the border secured? You tell me South40. 100? 10? 1? 0!
Next he does what every Leftist also does. Okay, when talking about illegal immigration, one thing we need to do is make legal immigration more streamlined.
Another words, if we want to stop three million illegals from coming across each year, we have to agree to four million legal entries each year. What a fantastic plan for stopping the takeover of the United States by the citizens of one nation on our border.
Ten years of this sort of policy would garner us not only 40 million immigrants, it would garner us untold chain immigration on top of that.
Evidently that is a fix to you way of thinking. It isn’t.
Then he brings Reagan’s name into it, to blur the issue even more. Another words, and we all know this is what Reagan would have done.
Frankly, with 30 million illegals in country, I’m not convinced Reagan’s first move would be to set up a plan to bring more people in even faster.
This does not impress me at all. In fact, so far it’s quite troubling.
As you know, I’m the sun of an immigrant... What has that got to do with ANYTHING, no matter how they came here? Sheesh... good freakin’ grief.
Next he says, if we focus on areas of bipartisan agreement, that’s how you get things done. Heaven help us. Ted. Seriously...
If you put in border enforcement, stop illegal immigration, and increase legal immigration you get an agreement.
Yes Ted, because then the illegal can walk across the border as legal as can be. That really helps doesn’t it.
And Ted, are you under the impression we have no legal border enforcement on the books today? Did we stop illegal immigration with it? No.
There’s not a snowball’s chance in hell you’ll get a bipartisan agreement and you damn well know it. Who are you kidding?
This is boiler plate clap trap. That’s all it is.
He assures us he’s a short term pessimist because he doesn’t think the Democrats in the Senate have any interest in solving this issue. Missing is the mention that the Republicans don’t either. This is just smoke and mirrors Ted. The days when you could lay off immigration problems on the Democrats are over.
He says that’s why Democrats focus on pathway to citizenship. They aren’t the only ones. The Republicans are on board a pathway. They just do their damnedest to lie about it.
Ted says he thinks amnesty is wrong. He gets a lot of applause. Says he is unequivocally against it. More applause...
Says it is inconsistent with the rule of law, and it is profoundly unfair to the millions of illegal immigrants. Lots more applause... says legal immigrants get left behind over and over and over again. It takes them years if not decades...
Says Obama has been cynical. Had Congressional majorities did nothing. He could have passed any dang thing he wanted. I’ve got one word in response. (BUSH!)
He thinks people are sick and tired of a partisanship in Washington. LOL, no Ted, right now I’m sick and tired of the lack of partisanship. I want Republicans to stand up for something.
At 6:15 Ted tell us what the first thing he would do is. Was asked to him up front. Took 6:15 of 6:49 to get to it.
Says he would rescind every illegal Executive Order by this president.
Whoops, not on topic. Crowd applauds to the end of the 6:49 segment.
I like Ted. He has been a guy I could vote for.
When it comes to boiler plate like this, it doesn’t move me.
He talks about no Amnesty, but nowhere does he mention repatriation. Lets face it, the sad little secret about Cruz is that at the end of the day, people stay, they achieve what they wanted to, and our nation is not set back on the right track.
Honestly, I don’t trust any of these guys. If you think I trust Cruz or Walker more on the issue of immigration than I do Trump, you’re wrong. I’ve been lied to by the best of them. Don’t even talk to me about Amnesty, until you provide an explanation for how people are repatriated.
Don’t talk to me about immigration numbers that supposedly haven’t changed since 2000. Don’t simply gloss over people being brought here from Islamic terrorist nations.
There’s just too much missing from Ted’s presentation, and my friends are simply too gullible for their own good.
I’ll bet you heard a lot more there than I did. You are comforting yourself falsely.
Cruz took office in January of 2013, a little over 2 years ago. I do believe he has spent a good deal of his time and energy since then fighting the nightmare that is Obamancare. Maybe you missed that. It was time well spent and made necessary thanks to the circus sideshow Donald Trump who helped the campaigns of Pelosi and Reid in 2006 which in turn helped make Obamacare possible.
