No, Trump will have leverage as President with the veto. He can propose certain elements he would like to see in the plan like HSAs, mandatory insurance of those with preexisting conditions, parents keeping their children on their policies to age 26, selling policies across state lines, etc.

The WH will be an active partner with Congress.

Trump in a tweet just called Rubio ineligible, so it does appear early indications are Rubio will be getting second LOL
————————————’
I’ve been saying he is ineligible. Hope someone brings a case. Rubio is GOPe version of Obama....

I can only imagine the atmosphere in the Levin bunker tonight. Burst blood vessels all over the room.

A beautiful thing.

Bret Baier’s panel and especially Stephen Hayes are piimping that according to exit polls SC is going to be like Iowa. Unreal!


Another example of Faux news.

Sad thing is every week another one of their personnel disappoints and comes out of the GOPe closet...A couple weeks ago, I thought Brett was fairly objective, now I count him with the sellouts!

Almost all will go to Rubio.

Unlikely.

Last week YouGov polled a 3-way race (nationally)

Trump 46%
Rubio 28%
Cruz 26%

I recommend a 50 year halt to immigration from ALL countries. We did it from 1924 to 1965..."

Not to be a snit, because I am 90% in agreement with you, but immigration was only reduced, from 1924 to 1965. For example, in 1929, 279,678 immigrants were recorded. Then the bottom dropped out during the depression: In the early 1930's, there was actually higher emigration than immigration. By 1950, 249,187 legally entered, the number in 1955 was 237,790, and in 1960, it was 265,398 legal immigrants. (Source = US DHS via Wikipedia.)

As practical matter, at a company I do consulting work for (they practically consider me "one of the family"), out of a staff of roughly a dozen engineers, 3, no, 4 are relatively recent legal immigrants. They are TREMENDOUS people, highly talented, and have most certainly contributed to the company's growth. It is hard to put an exact number on how many jobs these four have "generated", but I'd say it has to be somewhere between 10 and 50.

As a STEM (basically) I am highly sensitive to and affected by H1B abuses. But I also know that the more great people we have here in the US, the better.

Or, even more personal, I married a Filipina. She is a better person than I, and probably more conservative on most things too, tho' I did do quite a lot of explaining many issues to her, the 1st couple years. Would you bar such immigrants?

Deport or otherwise persuade illegals to leave? Check.

Build Trump's wall? Yes.

Pause green cards in most cases? Agreed.

Enforce pay requirements (to work visa holders?) Absolutely.

No more Sunni or Shia Muslims allowed in? You betcha!

Generally put into law all of Trump's position paper? Yes!

But bar all immigration for 50 years? I can't go with that one. It would be counterproductive.

Well, maybe you don't.

I have never made that ridiculously false comparison. Others may.

What is see is the Zeitgeist of Nationalistic Leader worship that ignores the philosophy of a man in favor of his charismatic personality.

So tell me. What do you propose we do about the illegal alien situation in this country?

That's a tough nut to crack but we could start by ending the mass murders of the "rightful owners of America" in the womb. As Mark Steyn says: "The future belongs to those who show up."

“Early Voting is just an open invitation for election fraud. There is no reason for it, and everyone’s needs can be accomodated by abseentee ballots.”

A few other rules.
1. No announcements are made until all votes are counted. This would prevent the demodogs from manufacturing votes to top up a candidate.

2. All ballots are turned in at the same time and once the precinct chairman signs off on the ballot boxes then no more will be accepted.

3. All ballot boxes must be turned in no later than 45 minutes after poles close.Beyond that time no ballots will be accepted.

Theo, you’re plainly a political moderate.

Anyone who says that the solution to the presence of millions of illegal invaders is “a tough nut to crack”, hasn’t got the foggiest idea of how serious a problem this is, or that it’s a simple one to fix.

You start by strictly enforcing our immigration laws. Any illegal coming into contact with law enforcement is immediately sent back to their country of origin.

Secondly, you cut off every single taxpayer funded social benefit to non citizens. No welfare, no food stamps, no Section 8 housing vouchers, etc.

Thirdly, you take away their ability to make a living here by punishing employers who hire them.

None of this is cruel or unusual. Every point I mentioned is coded into our laws. Simply enforcing those key points will force most illegals to self deport.

Stop being soft on these invaders. They’re stealing your country from under your nose.

That's why I recommend a 50 year halt to immigration from ALL countries. We did it from 1924 to 1965 and it did wonders to homogenize all the various ethic groups who were in the country at that time.

I could never support this. Hate to say it, but there seems to be a work ethic issue for an increasing number of younger Americans. My friend has a recent college graduate here on a student visa working for him. The person makes a highly competitive wage (will be making ~$22/hour by October or so after seven months on the job) and has a great work ethic - on time, quality work, fast learner.

Several of the previous hires were native born US citizens. Late to work, poor work quality, an attitude that expected good pay for mediocre work. He's taken some flack from some locals for hiring foreign, but as he puts it "I'm hiring a legal worker who does an excellent job. In the end, that's what I look for and reward."

I was once on a business trip to Southern NM and I decided to visit White Sands. I got stopped and checked over 70 miles away from the border. I’m not really looking forward to that kind of statist imposition all over America.
