Not personally, regardless, but -
my “needs” comment was directed at whomever the title was quoting.

But he reached his low point during a truncated Q&A session with the audience. Roberto Salinas, a respected free-market economist from Mexico, told Trump he was insulted by his remarks about Mexico and asked if he would build walls around every state to prevent criminals from crossing those borders. “I was waiting for this,” Trump snapped. “Did the government of Mexico ask you to come up here and say this?” He then cut off Salinas’s response and called for a wall across the entire southern border. A happy warrior Trump is not. I watched this exchange only minutes ago on YouTube.
Roberto Salinas was rude and obnoxious. He made a speech before the audience, and Trump, insisted he ask his question. He didn't wait for an answer, instead tried to speak over Trump. Then he tried to start another speech, and Trump cut him off.
John Fund, even you surprised me. I thought you were above presenting a lie as the truth.

But these guys are “journalists” not just DNC propagandists.
To: allendale
Pardon me but are Jeb Bush, John Boehner, and Mitch McConnell talking about securing the border? Are they speaking out about criminal illegals? Haven’t they had some ability to do something about this at some point in their political careers?

Your a strong Trump supporter?

Not really. I DO like that someone isn’t toeing the PC line and is boldly stating truths that need to be spoken.
I view Trump as a snowplow.

Cruz definitely has voiced support for Trumps’ views on immigration. The others, not at all.
Google Cruz statements on trump since you don’t seem to have paid any attention.

I said this several weeks ago about Trump:
“Tour de Force”
To: SeekAndFind
To take that many people and talk, just like you and talk, not ‘political’ speak, makes people relax, listen, understand....
Trump is not campaigning for money, he’s not owned by anyone, he is ‘one of us’ and he talks TO us, not AT us, he talked about NBC, Univision, and we understood what he said...
When he talks about ILLIGIAL IMMIGRANTS, we know what he is saying to us...
I am really liking this guy, and you can bet the GOPe, and the demonRATS and everybody else that thinks he’s a joke, are going to do anything and everything to smear him, and guess what, we ‘normal, everyday’ people are going to grow into a bigger crowd and we are going to listen to what he is TALKING to us about....

He tells people what they want to hear? And... how does that differ from ANY candidacy?

I don't give a damn what Trump has been or said or done in the past or 'what his game is'.
His changes of ever becoming president are miniscule, but at least he's out there NOW telling stupid, PC crippled Americans the truth; what Obama has done to America and that illegal aliens flooding across our open border are murdering and raping and bankrupting us.
NO Rino and Republican has the balls to get out there and tell the truth like Trump- and I'm enjoying the hell out of watching Liberal heads explode. GO TRUMP!

As long as it doesn’t interfere with book sales, he is good with Trump’s views.
What’s Cruz polling? 3-4 percent. Ground swell of support! That may not get him in the first debate.

I don’t want a candidate to tell me what I want to hear. I want to hear what they really think. With Trump its hard to know what he really thinks because he’s changed direction so many times.
I’m a real pain in the ass for the campaign issue calls.

To: Diogenesis
When I look at John Fund for some reason I think of a scene from the movie Deliverance and the words “squeal like a pig”.
I’m not sure why, maybe it is because the scene is about a group who believes they are in control of everything but find out that turns out not to be the case?

Key quote:
But she says that the GOP establishment has underestimated the depth of contempt that many conservatives have for the party’s leaders in Congress.
To: SeekAndFind
It’s harder to understand his appeal
Awwwwww. John Fund is going to sprain his brain, just like Peggy Noonan:
Peggy Noonan spends some ink today (subscription) trying to understand why Donald Trump is suddenly so popular, at least in the polls.
Peg will strain her brain trying to understand.
Trump is resonating in flyover country, because he is voicing concerns of many of the people in flyover country.
Peg can't see beyond the DC Beltway/Eastern Liberal environs.
