    Lemme see here, 0 divided by 784,000 = 0%. No wonder the undereducated "get" Trump. Math don't mean (*)(*)(*)(*). And they want to make America great again and take us back to a time when math didn't have to mean (*)(*)(*)(*).

    It would be good if Trump had an issue ...

    He does........Hillary was unfit to be to be SOS and she's definitely unfit to be President.

    Most people are saying she is more fit to be president than anybody in our history. And her ability to lie and cheat is just one more qualification. Sorry that Bush wasn't better at it.

    Excellent article, thanks for posting it.

    Yes, Tr(oll)mp embodies the disease that festers inside the GOP. What is worse is that he feeds upon it and exacerbates it. Sane, normal, responsible Republicans are calling him out and walking away from him and the party. I salute their courage to admit that their party is now no different in principle to the late and unlamented Apartheid regime.

    The danger is that an election that becomes nasty tends to lower turnout that will work in Tr(oll)mp's favor.

    I suspect that Hillary is well aware of this danger and will avoid it.

    This nation does have to purge itself of the disease that Tr(oll)mp epitomizes.

    How and when remains to be seen.

    Trump embodies a disease but I believe the GOP is diseased enough all on its own. I'm not sure exactly when the disease invaded the body, but when the 2nd place nominee, (representing the establishment) is a guy like Ted Cruz, you know the whole stinkin' party need to be fumigated. I tend to think the party lost its way about the time Sarah Palin emerged onto the scene.

    I never understood the popularity of Cruz, considering he's Canadian.

    Ever notice that "the lib" always resorts to insults and name calling when they address someone (or a group) who does not think as "they" do?

    He also has one in the fact that there are tens of millions of illegal aliens in the country degrading our communities, crowding our schools public health systems, criminal justice systems and lowering wages for American workers and the administration has virtually abandoned border enforcement allowing murderers (e.g. Kate Steinle's killer), rapists, drug smugglers, terrorists, and whoever to come in virtually unchecked.

    About like Obama's a Kenyan.

    Yes, of course. And Benghazi was about a video. Not a smidgen of corruption in the IRS. If you like your plan you can keep your plan. We may never know the motives of the Orlando or Dallas terrorists. Hillary never sent or received e-mails marked classified.

    You believe anything these lying (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s tell you?

    clearly you've never read my postings lambasting Trump... I have however been pointing out how black americans will be harmed immensely if a democrat wins... like once 10 million illegals can now compete with them for their jobs... black america with an unemployment rate twice that of white america, and almost twice that of hispanic america, will once again be thrown under the bus and tossed aside in favor of someone else... black america stands to suffer the most under a democrat presidency...

    unless you can convince me that somehow legalizing 10 million people to compete for jobs, will somehow help black america? can you convince me of that? no?

    With establishment Republicans, it's all a matter of appearing to be as bad-azz as possible in front of the rich and toward the unfortunate. He excelled.

    Lying and cheating is a qualification to be president? When did this happen?
    Bush was good at it.
    Especially when his brother stole the election for him.

    Hell, flooding America with illegal aliens was almost a Republican Party platform plank from Reagan thru Bush43. The entire idea was to break up the service unions, knock the sh*t out of manufacturing wages, and improve the bottom lines for your investors and corporatists. It worked. What now? Did it come back to bite you in the arse a bit?

    Who are the 'most people' saying this?

    If lying and cheating is a qualification, then according to the left Trump should win in a landslide.

    It's actually sad that one has to stoop to saying that to justify voting for a candidate.

    yes I would like to bet thats the case... tell me how adding 10 million illegals to the workforce will HELP black americans? PLEASE tell me how that will help unemployment numbers for black americans, PLEASE tell me how black unemployment isn't already almost twice that of hispanic unemployment, PLEASE tell me how the democrat party isn't about to cause the biggest negative impact to black america in decades by throwing them under the bus and allowing ILLEGALS to come take their jobs, legally...

    The GOP and conservative extremists, will eventually reap the political consequences of what they have sown; and those will be significant.
    It is only a matter of time before that comes to fruition.

    You're not "adding" anything.

    They're already here and working.

    Want to stop future illegal immigration?

    Put the onus on employers. make sure they know they'll be heavily punished for hiring illegals and they won't do it.

    no jobs...no illegals.

    But that won't happen under Trump or any Republican because business OWNS the GOP

    right they are ALREADY taking jobs from black americans who have almost double the rate of unemployment as white and hispanic americans... many of the jobs the illegals are doing is for BELOW minimum wage, which means once you legalize them, they will now take MINIMUM wage or better jobs from black americans who are filling those positions... which means the ILLEGALS are the only ones who have something to gain from this scenario, everyone else has something to lose, their JOBS...

    I have nothing against locking up CEOs for hiring illegals, you seem to think I don't support that, what I do have a problem with is the funny logic democrats use that think this won't negatively impact black americans... they are the ones who per capita work more of the lower wage jobs, the VERY jobs illegals take now, and will take more of after... so black americans have the most to lose in this scenario by giving the ILLEGALS a work status which will let any employer hire them... and thats a shame...

    so once again, you have not proven how black americans will be HELPED, and only confirmed my statement, they are the ones being HURT the most by "immigration"...

    At least Bush could identify classified material when he saw it AND he knew not to handle it with an “extremely careless” operation.

    It won't happen if Hillary's elected either, look at her donor list.
