    The only people supporting illegal immigration is the people trying to make it more difficult to immigrate here. That's why there are so many illegals in the first place.

    No way in hell Trump will get the nomination, but I really look forward to the entertaining spin he will bring to the process. It is somewhat refreshing to have someone in there that is not afraid to ask pointed questions and bring up uncomfortable topics because he has absolutely nothing to lose by doing so.

    And in the case of Trump where he is the majority shareholder?

    What you've just said is that there are so many illegals here because it is easy to immigrate into US. How does it work? :confusion:

    You mean, a CEO has no accountability? Because I think that's pretty much true.

    If that's true, imagine how they feel about gay marriage.

    Who is a majority shareholder in the United States? And what difference does it make? United States is structured just like any other large publicly held corporation, and should be run as such.

    The President has no accountability? Tell that to the judicial nominees the President can't get through Congress.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Meaning you want the government to charge for all of its services on a use basis and generate a profit?

    Since Obama became President the Stock Market has risen from the 8000s....to the 18,000s.

    How many times has Trump's Casino company filed for bankruptcy?

    I'm against illegal immigration. I don't like that there are immigrants here without papers. Immigrants we haven't done background checks on and haven't done medical checks on.

    The way to get less illegal immigrants and more registered immigrants is to make our immigration process simpler and take less time. Currently it takes decades to get a greencard so people don't even bother.

    So either you're against illegal immigration and you want to make sure we register immigrants that come here. Or you're against all immigration and you want to build a giant wall to keep people out.

    But all you're doing by making it harder to immigrate here is you're creating an underground immigration market. You're creating illegal immigrants.

    So if you're against a path to citizenship you're not against illegal immigrants. You're against immigrants. You want illegals to stay illegal.

    SO WHAT?

    Contrary to what liberalism would have you believe ...being described as "self-aggrandizing" is a positive thing.

    You're supposed to want to be great and wealthy.

    The liberal elite sure do.

    But they've managed to convince you to hate money, and hate rich people.

    Which works out great for them because they get to sit back and cash in on the fact that they can make you happy to be in the permanent underclass.

    But me, no, I like being wealthy and I got that way from business and I'll take a successful businessman at the helm over some tyrant liberal thief or traditionalist conservative any day.

    What is the corporate board function, hm? And have you ever heard of fiduciary duty, for breaching which many a CEO went to prison?

    BTW, I don't expect most of the Trump Fans on the Right....

    to remain LOYAL Trump Fans once the Debates and Primaries start.


    Trump clearly has no filter when it comes to attacking people who he is challenging or opposing. Ergo, he won't "hold back" in his attacks on Cruz, Perry, etc.

    Now....given the Trump Fans are, by and large, loyal GOP partisans....will they support The Donald when he attacks his fellow Republicans....or even stand by him when he does?

    Seasoned politicians know "where the line is" and not to cross it....a showman and egomaniac like Trump...won't obey that rule.

    I usually don't turn on the news when I first roll out of bed, but this a.m. I did ant there was Trump, so I listened. I'm voting for him - common sense from start to finish..... he's a brilliant business man and understands how to make a company.... or nation ..... successful. He has said the same thing b/f and is still adamant about what needs to be done. Nothing wishy washy about this guy..........

    So in other words....AS USUAL...you demand I answer a question from you "before I'll answer yours"...

    I answer your question....you claim it's "a lie" or "I don't know what I'm talking about"....


    all so you can AVOID answering my question, because it would prove embarrasing to you.


    You said Trump was wrong to consider being CEO the "same as being a President"....

    do you apply that SAME STANDARD to Carly Fiorina? Yes or No?

    I'm sure you really cared about deficits under Reagan and Dubya....same as any other Rightwinger.


    BTW, when Trump attacks his fellow Republicans....will you support him?
