You see, the words, ‘Hitler’ and ‘brownshirt’ tend to paint certain images.

Stop talking at me like I'm an idiot. You just don't like that the parallels are accurate.

Typical partizanship. It’s human nature and dominates supporters of all popular candidates, including Cruz supporters.

Nonsense. Did you read them? You complained and then got feedback DATA that blew your thesis.

Back to basics — a contractor managed the entire thing with the Poles. Trump had deep pockets and was sued based on a loophole. So every aspect of the attack on Trump as 'icon of illegal labor' is probably more bogus than you might think.

Strawman. He uses illegal Mexicans in his hotels, casinos, golfcourses, and construction projects too. That's just harder to document because this one has a court case judgment.

In New York it's impossible to build anything unless you do business with shady characters. They even have monopolies there due to union laws and other regulations. Los Vegas? I suspect it's even worse there.

I know. That means one must show what the quid pro quo really was, which is exceptionally difficult. The point is more serious: It means he may be open to blackmail.

My point is more closely attuned to the thread — Trump wants tougher lawsuits because he's feeling maliciously libeled.

Tough. The evidentiary standards should remain unchanged. The penalites on the other hand should change, but not the way Trump wants.

Regardless of your points, Trump’s best known accusers are claiming that he’s a hypocrite on illegal immigration.

He said 'thirty years ago,' and he’s absolutely right.

He's still doing it.

When they attacked him over the Polish illegals 30 years ago — hired by a contractor — THAT was misdirection.

How's that strawman looking now?

‘Nonsense. Did you read them? You complained and then got feedback DATA that blew your thesis.’

First off, the first posts were a bombardment of dispute against Trump. Good. Then finally ...

Post 18 ...

‘As a Trumpian I admit this is dopey, but for one tiny sliver. The media bear no responsibility or ultimate consequence for anything they say save ‘malice aforethought’ and total immunity for what they do to those ‘in the public eye’. In a real free market so be it. But in a litigious society they shouldn’t have such a loose standard. Covering culture and current events doesn’t extend to lying about them.’ — major-pelham

Now I don’t see how this other Trump supporter was ‘immune to the facts’. But no ... we’re all ‘immune to the facts’.

The strawman was not mine, it is the latest zinger against Trump.

‘[Forced to deal with the mob, Trump] may be open to blackmail.’

Valid point. I’ll give you that. And here we are on Super Tuesday still at the speculation level when Jeb and the gang had all this time to take him out.

‘Regardless of your points, Trump’s best known accusers are claiming that he’s a hypocrite on illegal immigration.’

Well they’re doing a lame job of making their case.

‘How’s that strawman looking now?’

It’s looking like Cruz and Rubio are GRASPING at straws and Jeb simply gave up.
