It should come as no surprise that Trump would go to Goldman-Sachs for financial posts and the CFR for foreign policy. I don’t recall Trump consulting with Pat Buchanan or Ron Paul very often.
Ann says, “But if Trump doesn’t appoint the sort of people capable of fulfilling his campaign promises on immigration, he will fail. He’ll be just another lying politician, and his supporters will watch in horror as rapists, terrorists and drug dealers continue living in our country.”
Surrender in the culture wars and appointing Harvard Law ‘living Constitution’ judges to the Supreme Court won’t cut short his presidency, but halfway measures on immigration enforcement would kill any Trump legacy.
There are three “games” that must be played, and immigration is a small part of one of them.
1. We must avert the Obama/Hillary stupid war with Russia. We are not ready to fight it; we could lose!
2. The currency is going to collapse! The dollar cannot go on like this and there is precious little time to fix the derivatives mess.
3. The welfare state will come to an end and it will not be pretty. There is no money for all this and we cannot even slow the rate of growth of the entitlements!
Immigration is involved in the third problem as the immigrants add to the rolls of the GimmeGimme’s, and they harden the Demwit power.
If you cannot reform the welfare state, (debatable proposition), the best hope is a John Galt future, starving the gov’t of funds while INCREASING the demand for freebies. Move businesses you hope to save, like Ford and Carrier, out of the country until after the collapse and resulting civil unrest, if we can win that, (debatable,) and try to rebuild a constitutional republic on the rubble.
Anne sometimes just loves to hear her own voice
