One group that he isn’t indebted to is big (corporate) donors...and the others are. Do we know every single thing about this man? No, of course not. But the exact same thing applies to each and every person running for president, ever. Yes, I would be much more comfortable if we knew more about Trump at this point. But right now, he is the single candidate who has come out 100% against illegal immigration and for the idea of deporting as many illegals as is practical. Unless and until we do what he has promised to do, the very survival of our nation is at risk.

I very firmly believe that General Patton was correct when he stated that the perfect is the enemy of the good. He, of course, was speaking in the context of battle plans. However, that concept is readily adaptable to politics. If you sit around and wait for the perfect candidate, you will never get him. Reagan understood well that politics is not an all-or-nothing game. He advised that if you get 70% of what you originally wanted, you should take it and run away. It is difficult to disregard the advice of these two brilliant man.

Back during the great depression, Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of ALL illegal aliens in order to make jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed work.

Harry Truman deported over two million illegal aliens after WWII to create jobs for returning veterans.

In 1954 Dwight Eisenhower deported 13 million Mexicans. The program was called Operation Wetback. It was done so WWII and Korean War veterans would have a better chance at jobs.

I agree, but there are just some people out ther so angry that it clouds their minds and they cannot see past the rage, and for all intents and purposes, the cult of personality mode takes over...

Whatya gonna do???

I can’t wait for the primaries to get underway...Get those flimsy moderate first states out of the way and muscle thru the Super Duper Tuesday group, and we’ll see who is really going to lead...

Should be a nice reality check...
