I can picture the cement trucks rolling toward the border while the forms are being placed.

And at last...the steel will come from the USA or we'll "make a deal" with China...a trade balance of some kind....and we will have almost instantly......10,000 jobs.

I also anticipate some new technology so if they tunnel below the wall....electrocution!!!!

Imagining the first term of a Trump presidency

Contrast the difference:

Dim candidate Sanders abandons the podium.

Jebbie shouted down and scuttles out

It is funny to see all the Trump supporters coming here with tingles going up their legs after reading the title!

Funny, he didn’t mention that Trump could issue presidential directives and bypass the obstructive dimrats who would still likely be a minority in both houses.

One thing’s for sure. Trump has no losers in his Rollodex.

I’m reluctantly on the Trump team but, I worry about:

- him turning into another “Arnold”
- his supreme court appointments

“Evidence that the RAT class is panicking.”

Interesting. You may be right. Their “unthinkable” might be thinkable. And a lot of those “rats” have jobs threatened by immigrants.

Well... that’s because there is a big reward for the first one to “Take Him Down”.

Another rabid anti-Trumper sniffing their crotch and then attempting to discern some sort of political wisdom from the scent.

And here we were told that FR is having watch it's disk space and THIS garbage gets posted in the guise of 'news'.

Oh really now?

I find your tagline highly offensive to one of the finest conservatives on OUR side (Ted Cruz) and I submit it to JimRob for mediation. My view? You need to lose that tagline like a bad rash.

I think Trump would find his first term very frustrating. For a man used to getting his own way he isn’t going to like facing a Senate where the Democrats can filibuster everything in sight and a court which may not think a whole lot of some of his proposals.

Well, Arnold's following in Trump's footsteps and taking on the Celebrity Apprentice ('cause Arnold's such a business powerhouse? Man, NBC has fallen into the dumps if that's the best they can do...)

As for your concerns, Arnold had little executive experience, and pretty poor business skills, so I'm not surprised that Kennedy influences pretty much ruled the roost. Credit to Arnold, he fought back against just about every gun control bill that came to his desk.

As for Trump's court appointments - I'd imagine he'd pick appointments which wouldn't come back to bite him in the rump. Choosing pro-government (and other liberal ideologies) would likely hurt him in the long run, so they at worst would be Kennedy style, but far more likely to run the gambit of Thomas & Scalia.

Oh, and as for the thoughts of others that he'd run things just through executive fiat - I will note that there are already laws on the books for physical border control (just no one bothers to follow them), laws against illegal aliens, laws regarding deportation - Less a need to run by fiat, and far more a case of a president actually following the laws that are already there. Should be interesting, if this is what comes to pass, to see how it goes.

So if he became president, he’d face unprecedented and implacable opposition from the Democratic Party, which might be tempted to pilfer from the playbook of the pre-2015 Republicans and become the anti-governing party...,

Pilfer the playbook for the pre-2015 Republican party???

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.........

Almost as funny as watching something else trickle down Trump hater's legs every time his poll numbers go up.

Some people think Trump is riding in on a white horse to save our country from permanent tyranny. He’s not.

He’s riding a velociraptor wielding two machine guns with Braveheart face-paint!!
