Game Change: Trump Consults with Sen Jeff Sessions on Immigration Strategy
Breitbart ^ | 08/14/2015 | Julia Hahn

Posted on 08/14/2015 8:19:19 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

In what may be the most important development in the 2016 Presidential race to date, Donald Trump has announced, and Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) office has confirmed, that the GOP front-runner is consulting with the Alabama Senator in crafting his immigration plan for the future of America.

The real estate mogul’s announcement will send shock waves through Washington D.C. and all across primary states.

Trump, whose campaign has focused primarily on issues of immigration and trade, has seen a meteoric rise since entering the race, with throngs of supporters across the country rocketing him to the top of every single poll, despite an extraordinary effort of establishment Republicans to take him down. Republican pundits have lobbed every imaginable accusation at Trump. Yet these same pundits, while seemingly furious at the man, have demonstrated no similar concern, angst, or passion about the dissolution of our southern border, the rampant exploitation of guest-worker programs, the collapse of middle class wages, and the growing illegal immigrant crime wave.

The man’s mind is active 24/7. He’s more tuned in than his detractors can imagine.

Not only that but he is inside the OODA loop of the MSM, the GOPe and the entire left wing

See how he handled the threat from the "Black Lives Matter" group

and dealing with questions during his stump speech.

Up thru March 14, all primaries use proportional allocation of delegates. Trump has a solid base of 20% to 25%. He is not going anywhere. He will have a substantial number of delegates and if we have a brokered convention, my money is on him.

“When Trump’s numbers decelerate, appear to top and even to descend, Trump supporters dismiss the data and attack the integrity of the pollsters. When Trump’s numbers appear robust, Trump supporters proclaim the polls from the rooftops.”

Trump is # 1 in all polls, lol. It’s hard to top that. Take a pill and go to bed.

Our health insurance is going up to $900 a month at the first of the year. I am essentially bed ridden and that insurance barely pays for anything now. If he isn’t the person he’s claiming, and goes back to that single payer nonsense, I might as well eat the end of my pistol, as I’ll have to live the rest of my life in blinding pain.

Please write to Donald. He's extremely responsive to stories and situations like yours. You may wind up being the very person who sets his mind in stone about ending Obamacare, and instituting a free market solution to health care.

I am encouraged by the fact that he has met with Jeff Sessions.

I believe that Trump was once quoted...Hire people smarter than you are...

Or something to that effect. If he’s going to Forbes for tax info, that’s one box checked. If he’s going to Sessions, one of the very few in Congress that actually seems to give a sh*t, for immigration that’s another box checked.

Just keep doing stuff like that, keep his cool and don’t let people bait him into saying stupid sh*t and he’s going to walk away with it.

Did you, yourself, not claim a "trend" at the first dip in Trump's numbers?

He talked tonight about the $7 check. We need to have some owner ship in making America great again too!

As I've said before - Trump has no more mountains to climb as a captain of industry. He's summited those mountains so many times, it's become just a job.

I honestly believe that, at this point of his life, he's looking to the future of his children and grandchildren. And ours, as well.

This is the moment for him to throw off the chains of political (and business) correctness, and use all his influence and power to help this country survive the depredations of those forces which mean to destroy this planet's best hope for liberty and freedom.

Why else would he be doing this? He's already conquered every material goal he made for himself as a young man.

He's asked for my help. I'll do everything I can to help him help America.

Good post.Trump is the most pro American candidate I’ve seen.

Trump fights and he is showing us how to fight the enemies of the freedom, the media, the GOP, the democrat party etc.

just think of America as one big broken skating rink....

@@@@@@@@

In Rand Paul’s campaign book, Courage to Stand, published in May, he actually cited Donald Trump as an example of an effective private citizen accomplishing what government bureaucracies can’t:

Think of Donald Trump.

Wollman Rink is an ice-skating rink that is an iconic fixture and has been the backdrop of movies such as Love Story for well over half a century in Central Park. By 1980 it had fallen into the disrepair of urban blight. The City of New York and its then-mayor, Ed Koch, promised to renovate the rink. Six years after the mayor made his promise, in an entanglement of bureaucracy and big government lethargy, the reclamation project was in shambles, with little hope for completion. Enter Donald Trump. Though not quite the household name he is today, Mr. Trump then ran one of New York City’s biggest apartment construction and management companies. He was also just as brash then as he his now. He challenged Mayor Koch to let him take over the project. At first Koch said no, but public pressure forced the mayor to give the private builder a chance. Three months later, New Yorkers and tourists alike were skating in a beautifully renovated Wollman Rink, and nearly thirty years later it’s still one of the most popular and well-run destinations in Central Park.

Nevertheless, Trump’s efforts with Wollman Rink improved the surrounding natural area of the park. Some of the profit the rink turned — the first time it had done so – was given to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, which helps keep Central Park and other New York City parks beautiful. Trump’s rescue of Wollman Park also exposed the ineptitude of government-run construction projects and the dominion over private enterprise it holds.

Cruz as SC justice would last his entire life. Im greedy want him longer than 16 years

Ummmm...........hard choice, but I'm going for CIC.

At that level, he can effect so much more positive good for America, and can set a tone for the country that no Supreme Court Justice could ever hope to do.

And, he can appoint them!

Yeah only Trump can make people start talking about the damage legal immigration is doing to America and freedom. Just as he did for illegal immigration.

He needs to get his policy positions fleshed out and consistent. It’s his biggest weak point right now.

What about the other candidates? Who's demanding their policy positions?

Anyone? Bueller?

Don't fall into the MSM/GOP-e trap. Trump is doing fine.

>> we expect them to exercise judgment

And I didn’t suggest otherwise. And if it matters, I don’t agree with Trump’s take on Iraq.

>> We do not know what fundamental principles Donald Trump will engage

True, but we’re regularly betrayed by the “principled” ones.

I don’t care if Trump remains politically active — it’s the positive momentum he’s fostering that matters.

NB, love your posts, but Trump said something in his MI speech that I have yet to hear from anyone else. “You’ll be so proud to be Americans.” I’m surprised that I’m the only one who caught it. I like Cruz and I hope he gets the VP slot.


Caught that, too, and I don’t think it’s not that the others haven’t said that, but its the way they said it. They’re mostly mushy and say it like politicians, Right to Rise and some other nonsense. But Trump, Make America Great Again slogan and his red hat seems to really feel it and mean it. He also has actually done something with his life. Yes, he was left a fortune, but he made it even bigger by taking risks and working hard at it. Most, not all, of the other candidates, while serving the public is a noble profession, have made a career of it and produced nothing and contributed nothing, all while living off the public largesse. Carson and Fiorina the exceptions with their respective backgrounds.

We’re running out of time and I do believe he’s our best hope. I love my Sen Cruz, but there’s a reason why Cruz and Trump have formed their alliance. They BOTH love America and hate what’s happening to this country

Amen, Jane.

I voted for Ted Cruz in every election on his way to becoming our Texas U.S. Senator, and have sent him money off my family's table to support his presidential campaign, but his time is 2020, or 2024.

He's going to have to get behind the bulldozer Trump to win the White House in his time.

I see Trump as the Great Destroyer, and Cruz as the Great Rebuilder. More and more, I sense that many of our countrymen see it the same way.

I’ve thought about doing that with a couple of candidates.

The thing that stopped me is I didn’t want people feeling sorry for me.
When my hands began to fade from the neuropathy, and I had to stop working, I guess we would have been eligible for all the entitlements.
I just couldn’t swallow my pride enough to apply for them (maybe a mistake in retrospect).
I even felt guilty about applying for disability.
I was diagnosed in 2004, and with the help of pain meds I kept working for 8 years.
Even now though I can’t stand or walk more than 5 feet, I’ll see one of those commercials about our service men that have had half their body blown off, and question why anyone should help me.
I’ll definitely consider the suggestion.
Thanks.

I can’t afford much but he’s the first candidate in my voting life that I have had the desire to donate to.

Bless you, Duchess.

The high falutin' pundits can't figure out people like you and I. They're stuck in the rigid politics of yesteryear, and sneer at regular Americans who are horrified at what's become of their country.

They and their friends among the elite class, have lost all sight of the simple promise of the Framers. We The People 'get it', and we're damn sick and tired of 'business as usual' in Washington.

If they think 2014 was a wave election, they ain't seen nuthin' yet!
