~Long, long ago - August 12th last year, in fact - I wrote:
The integrity of a nation's borders and the privilege of its citizenship is certainly a "truly conservative" principle. More practically for this election, it may be the one on which all the others depend... And, as Ann Coulter says to the other candidates, if you don't like Trump, steal his issue.
According to exit polls, in New Hampshire on Tuesday night, two out of three GOP voters favor Trump's proposed temporary ban on all Muslim immigration - despite the universal reaction from the massed ranks of the politico-media class that this time he'd really gone too far. In other words, as I said all those months ago, it's the old Broadway saw: Nobody likes it but the public.
The only reason any pollster is even asking this question is because Donald Trump proposed it. As those numbers suggest, any of Trump's rivals could have helped themselves by "stealing his issue". And yet no other candidate has gone anywhere near it - or anything like it. Perhaps one reason why American elections have the lowest voter participation rate of almost any developed nation is because the political class mostly seems to be talking about its own peculiar preoccupations. Consider this astute observation by Steve Sailer:
American citizens have turned in large numbers to old-white-guy candidates like Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. For all their differences, both give the impression that they are running for president of the United States, not president of Davos.

The Republican leadership has, to cite Glenn Reynolds, chosen the form of its destructor.
Exactly true, Only Trump is not owned by globalists intent on turning the American public into serfs.
1) She got married...
2) ...to a serial adulterer.
Trump is a globalist and you have no idea how he will act if he gets into office. He might decide he likes being king.
Reading Mark Steyn increases your IQ
She'll always be there: That's the problem.
Lot of truth to that.
“The Republican leadership has, to cite Glenn Reynolds, chosen the form of its destructor.”
And, this time, the “destructor” is not the Stay-Puff marshmallow man! The establishment is going to get its corrupt clock cleaned and its arrogant elitist ass handed to it. No one organization has so richly earned the status of pariah, nor the ass-whooping it is about to receive in spades. I can barely contain my enthusiasm to finally witness the utter annihilation of the GOP.
The integrity of a nation borders and the privilege of its citizenship is certainly a truly conservative principle. More practically for this election, it may be the one on which all the others depend... And, as Ann Coulter says to the other candidates, if you don't like Trump, steal his issue.
Enforcing the integrity of our borders is driving the Trump haters insane. We are talking about a $ life support for so many Trump haters, including the GOPE's, DC Pundits down to the so called main street merchants dependent on illegals for votes and whatever.
She became a senator, a presidential candidate, a secretary of state because she was Mrs William Jefferson Clinton - and her sense of entitlement was such that she never felt obligated to make anything of the job other than using it as a springboard for personal enrichment.
I recently got a letter from Sen. McCain (Bless his heart, southerners understand) wherein he also says, surprise surprise, he is in favor of a stop on the Muzzie influx until the mess is sorted out. The same people who poo pooed Trump for his remarks are now jumping aboard. Is re-election a reason?
Mark is brilliant, love his biting humor.
re: Reading Mark Steyn increases your IQ
I agree.
You win dumbest post on this treat thus far.
Trump wants to build the wall, a globalist would not do that.
Trump wants to enforce immigration laws a globalist would not do that.
Trump will send the rapefugees back. A globalist would not do that.
Trump will renegotiate bad trade deals and use tariffs if necessary. A globalist would not do that.
Steyn ! BUMP
Many of us are looking forward to seeing the broken bones, drying blood and entrails of the Lying GOP Open Borders Elite, their DC faux conservative pundits, their mediots, their phony pollsters and focus groups, their hired tv and radio hacks strewn across the primary states as much as our victories in those states.
yep.
I have started wondering why none of the other candidates have jumped on the deportation bandwagon and just stolen the issue.
Trump has no copywrite on the issue.
Anyone else can say.. you know what... I was wrong about this issue and move HARD right, even further to the right than Trump on this and undercut him.
But they wont.
They are too controlled by the cheap labor corporations.
Then again, he might act like Reagan!
