Relishing polls Trump rails against U.S. presidential race rivals Reuters
His rally, originally planned for a hotel ballroom, was moved to a convention center after more than 9,000 people asked for tickets, organizers said.
Numbers inside the standing-room-only room were far smaller than that total, although Trump said "thousands" could not get in. Trump was joined at the rally by local sheriff Joe Arpaio, who has been sued by the Justice Department for racially profiling Latinos.

"I'm really smart," he said.
-and this detail may be especially interesting to note:
"The only thing I can tell you is that it is awakening the Hispanic community," said Eduardo Sainz, 22. "We're keeping a tally of who is on our side and who isn't. The Hispanic community won't forget in 2016."

So, how big is the Phoenix Convention Center?
In the 4,200-capacity Phoenix convention center packed with flag-waving supporters, Trump took a different view — for a moment — and said: "I love the Mexican people. I love 'em. Many, many people from Mexico are legal. They came in the old-fashioned way. Legally."
He quickly returned to the sharp tone that has brought him scorn as well as praise. "I respect Mexico greatly as a country. But the problem we have is their leaders are much sharper than ours, and they're killing us at the border and they're killing us on trade."
His speeches in both venues were long on insults aimed at critics and short on solutions to the problems he cited. When he called for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, the audience in Las Vegas groaned.
-and this detail is quite interesting:
As Trump lambasted Univision for cancelling its broadcast of the Miss USA pageant, one of his many business enterprises, a group of young Latinos unfurled a banner pointed toward the stage and began chanting insults. They were quickly drowned out by the crowd, and nearby Trump supporters began to grab at them, tearing at the banner and pulling and pushing at the protesters. Security staff managed to get to the group and escorted them out as Trump resumed speaking.
"I wonder if the Mexican government sent them over here," he said. "I think so."
Yes, we can see quite clearly that Trump is doing just excellently with Latinos.

A day later, he came to Arizona and said, “We have to stop illegal immigration. We have to. We have to,” to the cheers of 4,000 supporters.
On Monday, RNC Chairman Reince Preibus called Trump to congratulate him on his success and reportedly ask him to “tone it down.”
But Donald Trump only tones it in one direction: up...
...“They’re taking our jobs. They’re taking our manufacturing jobs. They’re taking our money. They’re killing us.”

-and-“This crowd today blows away anything that Bernie Sanders has gotten,” Trump said (10,000 people recently came out to cheer Sanders in Madison, Wisconsin).
Ahead of the event, John McCain called Trump’s immigration comments “offensive.” Arizona’s other Republican senator, Jeff Flake, called his views “coarse, ill-informed and inaccurate.” News outlets and fact-checkers pointed out that Trump’s assertion — that the undocumented immigrants coming from Mexico are that country’s criminal element — appears to be flat wrong.
But while the press and the party condemn Trump’s rhetoric, many voters are eating it up. When Trump mentioned McCain, the crowd booed.

Trump's speeches were filled with tangents and insults leveled at business partners such as Univision and NBC that have dropped him in the wake of his comments that Mexican immigrants bring drugs and crime to the U.S. and are rapists. He also directed familiar barbs at other presidential contenders, including Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton ("the worst secretary of state in the history of the country"), news media figures ("lyin' Brian Williams") and President Barack Obama ("such a divisive person"). He called journalists "terrible people."
Trump We have to take back the heart of our country - The Washington Post
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, whose caustic comments about Mexicans have inflamed the immigration debate, told thousands of cheering supporters here Saturday that “we have to take back the heart of our country.”
In a rambling, defiant speech delivered in this border state that has been the epicenter of the nation’s divisive battle over immigration reform, Trump declared: “These are people that shouldn’t be in our country. They flow in like water.” One man in the crowd of 4,200 shouted back, “Build a wall!”
Basking in polls that show he has risen to the top of the crowded Republican field, Trump took obvious glee in mocking former Florida governor Jeb Bush, the establishment favorite who is setting fundraising records.
“Jeb Bush, let’s say he’s president — Oy, yoy, yoy,” Trump said. He asked the crowd: “How can I be tied with this guy? He’s terrible. Terrible. He’s weak on immigration.”
Trump’s 70-minute address here, which sounded more like a stream-of-consciousness rant than a presidential-style stump speech, put an exclamation point on his bombastic push since his presidential announcement last month to return immigration to the forefront of the national conversation.
-and-
Republican leaders say they believe the celebrity billionaire has virtually no chance of being their nominee, much less of making it to the White House. And, for now at least, his following seems limited to the far right as opposed to the party’s mainstream...
...Party leaders increasingly fear that Trump could do damage to more viable candidates, such as Bush, who could lose their own footing on immigration. These candidates confront a familiar challenge: During the primary season, they must deal with the anger and anxiety that many on the right feel about illegal immigration. But they must do it in a way that will not damage their appeal to a broader electorate in November 2016.
Republicans are handling Trump delicately for another reason as well: They fear that he could leave the GOP entirely and wage a well-funded third-party campaign, a possibility that Trump has not ruled out...
...But it was his crusade against illegal immigrants that had Trump’s crowd most enthused. After expressing shock that his immigration message has resonated so strongly with the GOP base, Trump said, “The silent majority is back, and we’re going to take the country back.” He walked off the stage to Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It.”
More to come, this is just the beginning....
So, Don Trump had success in front of a crowd of Libertarians in Nevada and a bunch of white, hard-core Righties in Arizona. Now, let's see what his words do on the national stage, when he's not preaching to his own choir.
Discuss. How did yesterday go for Trump?
Illegal immigration is just that, ILLEGAL. I can't even believe we have to discuss this.
Any group that unrolls a banner is bought and paid for so meaningless
I think trump's rhetoric is harsh and definitely non PC but Americans are fed up with illegal immigration.
Trump got the left's panties in a twist so it's a win
You are too stupid to be one person.
The left would LOVE to have Trump run as the Republican candidate. He's pro-choice, for gay marriage, he's been married three times, has no political experience, he's a birther, a racist, and his companies have gone bankrupt four times. The hard-core fundamentalist wing of the Republican Party won't support him because he's not right wing enough for them. He's pandering to the racists in the party, and that won't go over well with anyone who isn't racist.
Only racist idiots like you think his running is a good idea. Even the Republican Party sees him as a problem.

To listen to Progressives describe Illegal immigration you they they would call a bank robbery, an undocumented withdrawal
Trump finally brought the issue front and center and the Establishment in both parties greets it like Dracula meeting the morning sunrise
Ted Cruz would dismantle Trump in debate. Donald needs to stop with the extemporaneous thought impulses. People agree with much of what he says...but it's emotional to a great degree...need to get down to the nitty gritty of managing the country. Enter Kasich and Walker.
The issue has been front and center for a long time. No one is solving the problem. Our current policies are keeping it in check, but the Congress refuses to take further steps, including the funding of increased holding facilities and prisons for illegal felons. Trump is offering no rational or reasonable alternative solutions.To listen to Progressives describe Illegal immigration you they they would call a bank robbery, an undocumented withdrawal

Nothing but failed attempts to deflect and stupid comments from the USMB right, as usual.
GFY.Nothing but failed attempts to deflect and stupid comments from the USMB right, as usual.

Trump got the left's panties in a twist so it's a win
Uhm, no, SassyLesbiFreak: we are laughing at him. Apparently, you are too stupid to know the difference between concern and scorn.
