OK, This Trump Thing Isn’t Funny Anymore
THE DAILY BEAST ^ | 08.27.15 | Barrett Holmes Pitner

Posted on 08/27/2015 7:26:09 AM PDT by McGruff

As his poll numbers steadily keep him in a comfortable first place in the crowded GOP field, and he packs stadiums—receiving raucous applause in Alabama and along the Mexican border—his fiery and divisive rhetoric has taken on a new meaning. His positions have now become the focal point of the GOP field and all candidates must respond to Trump before they can proceed.

What he and his supporters say can no longer be considered a joke. During his rally in Mobile, Alabama screams of “white power” could be heard from the audience. And last week, two white ex-cons from Boston beat up a homeless Hispanic man, and upon their arrest they told the police, “Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported.”

Your ‘argument’ is illogical and self defeating. You say Trump is in it for himself and his ego. There couldn’t be stronger arguments for building the wall. One, if he renegs, he is loathed and detested. How does that serve Trump or his ego?

But Two, if he builds it, he is lionized and loved. Now that would serve the man and his ego.

Ergo, you’ve made the most compelling argument yet that Trump will follow through.

Right now we believe in just trying to survive. The Permanent Political Class has thrown our borders wide open and rolled out the welcome mat. A country without borders isn’t even a country. Not to mention the incalculable toll taken as the invaders rape, rob, murder, child molest, grift and drain the economy dry. We’re already far along in our death spiral. Trump articulated this out of the gate and proposes to start by building a wall.

Trump has identified and articulated the most important issue facing conservatives.

I may make many people here upset by saying this, but the most important issue facing the US today is not pornography. Nor is it gay marriage. Nor is it even abortion.

The most important issue is the PERMANENT demographic electoral changes which continued immigration will impose. Every year which passes, we get millions of new Democrat voters. If this is not reversed, by 2020, no conservative will ever win a national election again.

At the point where demographics makes the Left electorally secure, you will REALLY see changes. You will see age of consent lowered so that your sons may be preyed upon by gays, and if YOU try to interfere, YOU will be locked up. You will see minority gangs rule your suburban neighborhoods, transplanted there by Section 8. You will see your Christian churches shut down and all the property seized if they commit the "hate crime" of preaching ANYTHING which goes against the Left's agenda.

Unless we deal with illegal immigration, we will all lose, and lose for all time.

Wow—that post was fearless. Scarily on point too, imo.

Didn’t I read somewhere that you used to be a biker? It shows. (Meant as a compliment.)

When people are shouting ‘white power’ at his rallies and Trump is endorsed by the Daily Stormer, the joke is over.

If that has happened, then it would be on every news station around the country (if not world) repeatedly.

Which, since that’s the first sentence of the article, tells me this is an opinion hit piece, and not based in reality.

Consider that Obama was elected with the vocal support of Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, the man Farrakhan proclaimed as the Messiah. Obama saw no need to repudiate his Nation of Islam supporters.

As long as Trump himself does not engage in racial hate, I will not care who else supports him, nor what their reasons for supporting him are.

Well, since Vester Flanagan was black, homosexual, and a member of the press...

Does that mean we should keep all members of those groups from having guns?

Or isn't it just more sensible to restrict heterosexual white males who used to be in the Armed Forces and were honorably discharged?

"#OnlyBlackLivesMatter"

"#OnlyWhitesCanBeRacist"

"A black homosexual Journalist killed two people with a handgun. Let's keep white cis-het males from the military from getting guns."

"If you noticed this, you are homophobic and racist."

Other than losing the Presidency in 2016, you’re right. You really had nothing to lose.


Um... What do you mean? There was no “win” for conservatives. Either a Dem or a GOPe is no win. It is obvious Ted Cruz wasn’t going to be our nominee. I was sick of this echo chamber in FR thinking a real conservative ever had a chance. There is a chance for Trump, and if Cruz is his Veep, that’s the best Cruz will be able to do.
