    You can't say you're done, without some type of rationale or justification.
    I already see the Trump devotees saying anti-trumpers don't put America First. Yeah, that's what they have convinced themselves of, though its in no way true.

    Sure you can. Or just be "done" no need to tell anyone. Just move along.

    I'm "done" with fear the walking dead, do you want to read a 3 page essay why? (Didn't think so)

    Balto you have your answers. Emotion and prejudice. Those are the drivers and they defeat facts any day. Trump knows it.

    Without borders, language and culture there effectively is no country. We need to STOP illegal immigration across our borders...Especially our Southern border otherwise you might as well just lay down and let illegal aliens stomp all over us.

    Democrats did the same thing with Clinton and Obama and, this last election which ended with them going down with the Obama/Clinton 'ship.' Funny too, they didn't even realize how far from geographic American culture they have drifted. Trump is the result, he won because he is the first person to actually support America. Heck, they didn't even care about Trump's attacks on his opponents or sketchy language. Supporting average Americans instead of illegal immigrants is a powerful positive message. Democrats were blind to it.

    No one thinks there are 'surefire' solutions but at least SOMEONE is finally TRYING to find solutions. That is refreshing after the past 8 years of nothing but talking trash about America and Americans including our military and police force.

    Well...I guess it's your turn now to sit in the back of the bus, you know, like Obama famously said about the opposition party. Stay seated and enjoy the ride.

    Even he admits that it's a cult.

    "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters" - Trump

    Sigh. A liberal whine thread supported by liberals coming in to whine about other Trump

    If you are done, then be done. No need to come in and make a big show of it.

    It is painful watching an entire nation lost to a cult run by a thug. He even admits that its a cult but it doesn't matter.

    I remember the stuff-shirt crowd getting their noses out of joint when John Lennon (in 1966) said the Beatles were more popular than Jesus yet now, he is a hero of the far left.

    Their level of projection and lack of self-reflection is terrifying.

    It's good to know when you are wasting your time. The fact is, most lefties just don't think like righties. It's a completely different paradigm, and you're just wasting your time trying to argue from a leftist position. That only works with leftists.

    If you ever feel the desire to bang your head against the wall again, first you start by pointing out why we need immigration at all. Why let even 1 immigrant in? If you can get past that, then you work from there by arguing for two. What are the conditions that make immigration a positive for the country?

    Zero. Let tourists in from developed countries so they can visit disneyland, and make sure they leave before their visa expires.

    No, I can certainly deny that. It is a ridiculous thing to say. But it does demonstrate the brainwashing that creates a cult.

    Your comment reminds me of the answers you get when grilling people who are trying to rationalize their actions, such as drug users who justify their addiction: Everyone does it!

    We get the same thing when slamming Trump for supporting the actions of a cold-blooded killer - Everyone does it!

    No, not everyone, just you guys.

    we don't. It's against the law to willingly harbor criminals, so those mayors and city council members should all be put on a chain gang, along with their illegal aliens, to help do the grunt work involved with building the wall.

    Cool Hand Luke had it easy compared to what I would do to those people.

    When they get paid to do the job of ICE, then you can complain. Until then, the Feds are just scapegoating their financial responsibilities by dumping this in the laps of cities. THAT is what really started sanctuary cities in the first place! The cities don't have the budget or the resources to do the job of immigration control.

    We aren't walling ourselves in like the former soviet union we are walling out the invaders for want of a better term. How many more Nortes and Suds you want in here? How man MS13 thugs?

    If that's all you've got, then you need to join the ever-growing ranks of lefties who know when to quit trying to debate conservatives.

    They aren't scape goating anyone they are merely asking them to sit on known criminals till they can come by and pick them up. Give me one good reason to protect felons from another country rather than throw them out.

    You can't reason someone out of a position that they didn't reason themselves into in the first place. Trumpistas do NOT operate on reason.
