Think about that: In a 16-person field, the idea that any candidate could get 34 percent of that large a slice of potential voters suggests an extraordinarily powerful issue.”

Not a Trump fan here, but I'll say again what I've said since he entered the race: both political parties ignore him at their own peril.

Trump has tapped into a very wide swath of not just Republicans, but also Blue Collar/Blue Dog Democrats that carried Ronald Reagan to sweeping victories.

Want to see real panic from both political parties? Wait until the liberal lamestream media catches up with that little fact above. You will see hysteria from the GOP-E and Democrat liberal progressives like we've never seen before.

That's going to be fun to watch when it happens.

I’m warming up to Trump pretty quickly here.

Have you watched his actual speeches, pressers, and interviews?

He comes across as quite impressive and very sincere.

The real question is why the other candidates didn't capitalize on the opportunity. Immigration, legal and illegal, affects every major challenge facing this country.

Why are we importing 1.2 million legal permanent immigrants a year and 640,000 guest workers annually while we have the lowest labor participation rates in 38 years? Fewer native born Americans are working today than in 2000 despite an increase of 25 million in the workforce, two thirds of whom are the native born.

Why haven't the other candidates highlighted the trail of death and destruction wrought by illegal aliens? GAO did a 71 page study in 2011 detailing the statistics including 55,000 criminal aliens in federal prisons and 296,000 in state and local jails? It was costing1.3 billion a year in incarceration costs. Over 3 million crimes were committed including 25,000 jailed for homicide.

Instead, the MSM, Dems, and the GOPe paint a benign, sympathetic picture of the lawbreakers who left millions of American victims in their wake. Trump is just stating the obvious and it comes as a surprise that it is resonating.
