    His condemnation of brown people pushes the right buttons in the latent racism existing in the republican party. It's pretty simple actually.

    And the number of very so called smart people who cannot see this is astounding. These beltway pundits and MSM have been in utter denial, but they are having to be dragged kicking and screaming into reality. And its is alarming for them as well as the two parties of the oligarchy.

    The only question is, if sanders or trump looks to win, will there be a killing? I think you can bet on it, and win. I don't think enough americans understand exactly what we have today. The Princeton Study revealed it, but not many people know about that for MSM were careful not to cover it. For it lets the cat out of the bag.

    IF the powers that run this nation, for only their benefit see that their little game might be over, there is no telling what they will do. But if they do something stupid like that, there will be a bloody revolution instead of this potential revolution at the ballot box. For then enough people will understand the reality of American, circa 2015.

    I said this in a different thread, here I can elaborate it better.

    In Italy Berlusconi [who was like Trump: a rich guy, great in communication and without the need of lobbies or parties behind his shoulders ... Berlusconi even created his own party to win the elections ...] got success because he was known, he inspired trust to a certain part of the population [the electors fed up with career politicians] just because he wasn't a politician.

    Trump is a success businessman entering politics [he will become a politician, obvious, but now he is not a politician]. If he is successful in running business, he can be successful in running the US Government like a corporation having to produce profits [many lobbies will hate Trump, overall the leftist ones, since he will cut a lot of public useless expenses].

    I like his stance on tariffs that take business out of the country, but then I read this...

    So, let's see...Trump has the support of some Republicans, despite the fact that he is for more regulation and he would have to rewrite the trade deals, but can he do that without Congress? That imaginary call he made to Ford about tariffs, might be just more rhetoric from a reality star turned politician

    Trump has already decided that he will win the Hispanic vote, and in fact is, in the Nevada polling. He may decide to take the Black vote as well, which would really leave Dems in a fix.

    That was an interesting article that you posted. Trump most likely has the business experience to know that a company can locate where ever they want to, but he probably has the business sense to know that companies are usually interested in making a profit as well. If there is a 35% penalty for importing a product, it may be that a company would reconsider locating a plant outside of the USA for a better profit, at their own discretion of course.

    I keep reading that Mexicans want to come here for work. Trump says he will be "the best jobs president that God ever created". If I was coming here to get a job, Trump would have my vote. Trump and the Hispanic vote are a match made in Heaven.

    non-citizens are not allowed to vote in federal elections, and it is a federal crime for a non-citizen to vote or register to vote in such an election, punishable by imprisonment and/or the initiation of removal proceedings against that individual.

    Generally it's the US consumer that everyone wants access to, so locating outside the US wouldn't help with that. For the first 100 years of our nation, our federal government was funded nearly exclusively by tariffs that ran about 20% of imports. This kept our debt in check, the federal government in check and we fought far less wars.

    Now rather than having a 20% tax on imports, we have so many taxes woven through our system that our end products have prices 20% higher than they would be resulting in essentially a 20% export tax and since we effectively tax our exports and don't tax our imports, we do a lot more importing than exporting.

    It looks to me like Congress passes tariffs and then empowers the President with discretion to impose them.

    So say we go with Trump and say that we buy that he is great negotiator or will make sure our negotiations are being handled by our best and brightest, I believe that he will be acting within discretion provided by Congress to the Executive Branch.

    The implosion of the Christian Democratic Party, which made Forza Italia the leading party of the Italian center-right, definitely helped.

    Trump is more like P.T. Barnum than Steve Jobs. Both were successful businessmen, but only one of them actually contributed something to society.

    I don't think he ever stopped being a reality star.

    There's not much of that going on these days.
    Last election they were bussing farm workers to the polls.There was a 6-foot Obama sign right in the middle of their barracks, too.

    And of course that is why Dems hate voter ID, you can't buss masses of voters from polling station to polling station if the are checking ID's.

    Better yet, let them tell their own story, these ladies are simply both wonderful and adorable.

    They have the rare gift of being able to really tell you off, in a pleasant, friendly and engaging manner. I enjoy every video that they have put out.

    Trump is telling people that it's all right to give in to our worst natures.

    You're never going to lose saying that.

    After the fail of Obama, the Democrats don't have a single candidate than Hillary's name recognition(not policy) and they realize that the path to the WH no longer exists for 4 years. The party supposedly groomed on "grassroots" utterly fails at grassroots campaigning. How is it that a young man once enthralled with Liberalism, is running as a Conservative? You should look at my existence as proof of how out of touch the Liberals have become.

    Me. I'll be running as a "conservative" for a State Rep seat.(Though I don't believe in conservatism, anymore than Liberalism). The reason I'm running as a conservative, is that the local Democrats largely ignored me(or sent me roundabout) when I wanted to get info on how to run. So it was like "Well, f it."

    And folks are welcome, they just need to come in the front door rather than sneaking in. This is just one of the many reasons why we need better control of our border.
