Trump brilliant on 60 minutes. Why i will vote for him

[JimBowie1958]

People either think he is awesome or they think he's a prick. The latter outnumber the former so he's a loser.

That is what they said about him when he entered, that he would never be in the lead and would never poll more than a few percentage points.

Bullshit.

I suspect he will be pressured out of the race though because the establishment will dig up some kind of dirt on him, like violating some laws on zoning, building codes, whatever and put him under indictment and kill his campaign with the DA's office.

No one has to dig up the dirt. It pours out of his mouth. What you see is what you get with Trump, an amateur politician, who has little or no knowledge of how government functions, and even less knowledge of foreign affairs. He's avoided military service, has no experience in public service, and thinks he can run the government the way he runs his businesses. The fact that anyone thinks Trump has what it takes to be president is a said comment on the state of American politics.

I am talking about enough evidence to indict him for criminal charges, not violating some PC Nazis notion of foul or racist language, dude.

 

[JimBowie1958]

Just about everything Trump says is a knee jerk reaction, simple solutions for complex problem with no consideration of the consequence nor whether it's even possible.

Trump says he will deport all illegal immigrants, do away with birthright citizenship, build a wall and make Mexico pay for it.

Make hiring more than one illegal a felony and then hit the employers with RICO violations and start by seizing the companies profits and property. Employment of illegals will dry up over night and with no jobs and no welfare, which should require ID by then, and the illegals will go back to their home countries on their own cost and effort.

The reality is that 69% to 80% of Americans do not support mass deportations of illegal immigrants. 200 cities and towns within the US are considered sanctuary cities; that is they don't help ICE find and deport illegals. Try to deport all illegal immigrants and the little cooperation ICE gets would drop to zero making mass deportations impossible. Then there are changes in existing immigration laws that would have to be made by by congressmen in his own party that are openly hostile and democrats that think he's a lunatic.

When polled on whether they think illegal aliens should get citizenship via 'anchor babies' most AMericans say no, and most want the immigration laws enforced. With the high unemployment/underemployment and off the working rolls numbers that we see today, there is no justification for allowing continued use of black market labor nor H1-B visa serfs.

His plan to do away with birthright citizenship which the majority of Americans oppose and which would require support from congress which Trump doesn't have, and the blessing of SCOTUS is laughable.

Support for anchor babies has never been higher than 41% and the vast majority oppose it.

Build a wall that Homeland Security says is too costly, will not be effective, and try to make Mexico pay for it is nuts. This is talk you expect to hear in a local bar after a half dozen beers.

Homeland security is full of Dimbocrat political hacks so what the hell do you expect them to say? 'Yes it makes sense we can do it but our president is too stupid and corrupt to enforce the law?

And Isreal demonstrates with the wall they built that yes indeed, walls can be very effective at keeping out criminals.

Lol, and I have never heard anyone talk like this at a bar after 6 beers, you ******* liar.

Flop you know what is missing the most. A sense of humor followed by a sense of,perspective. Trump is,a hoot. We haven't even had the first primary. We won't for 4 months, but the mr magoos on here are saying the sky is falling. Is trump all over the map, is he goofy, does he contradict himself, is he rude, does he have an ego? Yes, yes, yes. But what a vehicle to raise legitimate questions. Anchor babies is the perfect example of how illegals of all stripes are using our system against us. It is a problem. What trump is saying is that on all fronts we are being taken to the cleaners and he is right. We just need some imagination and brains to come up with solutions.how about if we just make it illegal for any woman who is more,than six months pregnant to enter this country. These kinds of dilemmas are right up your alley. You have the intellect and temperament to deal with them. Trump has brought these to the fore to where we are talking about them. Many problems are easily solved. Immigration is one of them.

What has been interesting in the news lately is how countries like Russia and China have specific LONG term strategies. Our country is eat up with instant gratification and selfies in the White House. Right now we have zero long term strategies on the board. Russia and China and Iran are waxing while we are waning.

So to get back to trump, one has to decide if one wants to keep the status quo of retreat, failure, and atrophy or whether one really cares about America. Make America great again is a dynamite slogan. Other candidates wished they had it. If you want America to be great again stop bashing the messenger and start promoting the message. It has to start somewhere. We need long term strategies on energy, immigration, science and invention, reducing the debt, foreign affairs, etc. we need new blood, we need new ideas. We need a focus more on tomorrow than today.

I would hope that you would sit back and enjoy the deliciousness of how trump is confounding his critics and the media. His antics make me smile every day. I hope he keeps sticking it to em. The voters will sort it out just like they are supposed to do. I do not know how long trumps run will last, but this man has made a magnificent contribution to his country. He cares.

Best post on Trump yet, and I don't get the notion you are a Trump supporter either, right?

 

[gallantwarrior]

60 Minutes: You can't do that
Trump: Yes I can

60 Minutes: It can't be done
Trump: Yes it can

60 Minutes: How on earth would you do that?
Trump: Don't worry yourself about it, leave it to me.

It was hilarious.

If Trump were to be elected, he might be able to persuade members of Congress to go along with him. Then again, he's never worked in government, especially in our federal government. He might not be able to convince anyone of anything, and then he would be just like everyone else, not being able to accomplish anything. Trump is used to buying his way. You can't do that as President.

So...you admit Trump most likely cannot suck the chrome off a bumper hitch?

And those lawyers and professional politicians, with all the knowledge about government functions and foreign affairs, and with all back room deals economic wisdom, created the shit we're in right now. Still wanna go with them?

If better qualified people can't solve the problem, then let's try someone unqualified and see what happens.

Your guy won, twice. Unqualified doesn't even begin to describe Obama, but y'all put him into office. At least Trump knows how to DO something to balance budgets and make money...run a business. He's imminently better qualified than you latest attempt at "leadership" for this country. I'm willing to take the risk.

The people that are saying the wall is not needed to control illegal immigration are the people responsible for preventing it. First of all, almost half of the illegal immigrants entered this country legally. Secondly, the wall will not stop illegals from entering the country. It will simply slow them down. It will require a large increase in personnel to patrol the wall. And if the wall is successful, it would put more pressure on the Coast Guard to stop illegals coming in by water which has been on rise with increase in boarder security.

If we really want stop illegal immigration, then as a boarder patrol official said, stop hiring them.

Essentially everything Trump has promised to do to eliminate illegal immigrants can not be done by the president. Congress would have allocate the funds to build a wall and staff it. The immigration laws would have to be changed to eliminate a number of legal defenses in the law that allows illegal immigrants to remain in the country, expand E-Verity, require all employers to verify citizenship, and expand ICE powers and funding to enforce status violations (Visa Expiration). In order for Trump to force Mexico to pay for the wall, Congress would have to break NAFTA. Then to actually find and deport massive numbers of illegals, local law enforcement would have to be forced to cooperate.

BTW The Israeli wall is only about 10% of the what Trump is proposing.

Yes, of course the wall sows down he illegal immigrants, forcing them to take other routes through, but then again, if you had any security training you would know that that is all that any security system does. It slows down the perps till due authorities can arrive and arrest them.

And political appointees say the wall is not needed but the guys who actually do patrol say it is.

And Trump can force Mexico to pay for the wall by simply deducting it from the financial aid we give them every ear, duh.

Good Post, although I disagree with you on several of your points. Passing a law that denies visas to pregnant women would accomplish nothing. Women would just say their pregnancy had not been confirmed by a doctor and when their children are born in the US; they would still be citizens. Surely you’re not proposing that we administer pregnancy test to all women entering the US legally. This like so many proposals from conservatives are just not practical.

The entire Anchor Baby issue has no place in an intelligent debate over illegal immigration because very few illegally immigrants enter the US to have babies. Conservatives have tried to make anchor babies and birthright citizenship part of the debate over illegal immigration. However, what this is really about is not illegal immigration but the increasing numbers of legal Hispanic voters who vote Democrat in most elections. If Republicans want to solve their problem with the Hispanic-American vote, then they need to address the issues that are important to them, not attempt to reduce the number of legal Hispanic-American voters.

"According to a report by the Pew Hispanic Center, a think tank that has done extensive research on immigration policy, 3.8 million undocumented immigrants have at least one child who is a citizen. "Most children of unauthorized immigrants -- 73 percent in 2008 -- are U.S. citizens by birth," the center says. That's up from 63 percent in 2003.

These statistics suggest not only that the number is large, but is also growing."

Just about everything Trump says is a knee jerk reaction, simple solutions for complex problem with no consideration of the consequence nor whether it's even possible.

Trump says he will deport all illegal immigrants, do away with birthright citizenship, build a wall and make Mexico pay for it.

Make hiring more than one illegal a felony and then hit the employers with RICO violations and start by seizing the companies profits and property. Employment of illegals will dry up over night and with no jobs and no welfare, which should require ID by then, and the illegals will go back to their home countries on their own cost and effort.

The reality is that 69% to 80% of Americans do not support mass deportations of illegal immigrants. 200 cities and towns within the US are considered sanctuary cities; that is they don't help ICE find and deport illegals. Try to deport all illegal immigrants and the little cooperation ICE gets would drop to zero making mass deportations impossible. Then there are changes in existing immigration laws that would have to be made by by congressmen in his own party that are openly hostile and democrats that think he's a lunatic.

When polled on whether they think illegal aliens should get citizenship via 'anchor babies' most AMericans say no, and most want the immigration laws enforced. With the high unemployment/underemployment and off the working rolls numbers that we see today, there is no justification for allowing continued use of black market labor nor H1-B visa serfs.

His plan to do away with birthright citizenship which the majority of Americans oppose and which would require support from congress which Trump doesn't have, and the blessing of SCOTUS is laughable.

Support for anchor babies has never been higher than 41% and the vast majority oppose it.

Build a wall that Homeland Security says is too costly, will not be effective, and try to make Mexico pay for it is nuts. This is talk you expect to hear in a local bar after a half dozen beers.

Homeland security is full of Dimbocrat political hacks so what the hell do you expect them to say? 'Yes it makes sense we can do it but our president is too stupid and corrupt to enforce the law?

And Isreal demonstrates with the wall they built that yes indeed, walls can be very effective at keeping out criminals.

Lol, and I have never heard anyone talk like this at a bar after 6 beers, you ******* liar.

eir own cost and effort.

The people that are saying the wall is not needed to control illegal immigration are the people responsible for preventing it. First of all, almost half of the illegal immigrants entered this country legally. Secondly, the wall will not stop illegals from entering the country. It will simply slow them down. It will require a large increase in personnel to patrol the wall. And if the wall is successful, it would put more pressure on the Coast Guard to stop illegals coming in by water which has been on rise with increase in boarder security.

If we really want stop illegal immigration, then as a boarder patrol official said, stop hiring them.

Essentially everything Trump has promised to do to eliminate illegal immigrants can not be done by the president. Congress would have allocate the funds to build a wall and staff it. The immigration laws would have to be changed to eliminate a number of legal defenses in the law that allows illegal immigrants to remain in the country, expand E-Verity, require all employers to verify citizenship, and expand ICE powers and funding to enforce status violations (Visa Expiration). In order for Trump to force Mexico to pay for the wall, Congress would have to break NAFTA. Then to actually find and deport massive numbers of illegals, local law enforcement would have to be forced to cooperate.

BTW The Israeli wall is only about 10% of the what Trump is proposing.

Yes, of course the wall sows down he illegal immigrants, forcing them to take other routes through, but then again, if you had any security training you would know that that is all that any security system does. It slows down the perps till due authorities can arrive and arrest them.

And political appointees say the wall is not needed but the guys who actually do patrol say it is.

And Trump can force Mexico to pay for the wall by simply deducting it from the financial aid we give them every ear, duh.

You rely haven't thought this through much at all, have you?

Oh, Trump doesn't want to put tariffs on Mexican goods to pay for the wall any more and start a trade war with Mexico. Well that's great. House Republicans have already proposed cutting off foreign aid to Mexico which would amount to $265. That would pay for only 5% to 7% of the wall.

Apparent Trump didn't bother to ask where that foreign aid actually goes in Mexico. As it turns out over 75% of it goes to reduce drug trafficking, coordinating boarder control activities with the US, and assisting the US in anti-terrorist activities. Most US foreign paid to Mexico as well as other countries buys assistance we need. I wonder what Trump's next hair brain scheme will be.

As Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano declares, "You show me a 50-foot wall, and I'll show you a 51-foot ladder at the border," the answer is fairly straightforward: You show me a 51-foot ladder, and I'll show you a guardsman standing on the other side of the wall waiting to arrest the person using it. Building a wall is one thing, making it work is another matter.

I don't think those pregnant women will be climbing no 50 ft wall, ladder or not.

The entire Anchor Baby issue has no place in an intelligent debate over illegal immigration because very few illegally immigrants enter the US to have babies. Conservatives have tried to make anchor babies and birthright citizenship part of the debate over illegal immigration. However, what this is really about is not illegal immigration but the increasing numbers of legal Hispanic voters who vote Democrat in most elections. If Republicans want to solve their problem with the Hispanic-American vote, then they need to address the issues that are important to them, not attempt to reduce the number of legal Hispanic-American voters.

"According to a report by the Pew Hispanic Center, a think tank that has done extensive research on immigration policy, 3.8 million undocumented immigrants have at least one child who is a citizen. "Most children of unauthorized immigrants -- 73 percent in 2008 -- are U.S. citizens by birth," the center says. That's up from 63 percent in 2003.

These statistics suggest not only that the number is large, but is also growing."


Fact-checking the claims about 'anchor babies' and whether illegal immigrants 'drop and leave'

I don't dispute those figures. My point is that having babies in the US is not a significant factor in illegal immigration. Child bearing is not why they come to the US. Eliminate birthright citizenship, and there would little impact on the number of people entering the US illegally. This is why I say anchor babies and birthright citizenship should not part of a debate on illegal immigration. However, the number of undocumented immigrants would increase significantly without birthright citizenship.. Using Pew's figures, we would have several million more undocumented immigrants living in the US. Republicans might be happy with this because they wouldn't be registering to vote and voting for Democrats. However, having more disenfranchised poor people living in the country creates more social problems.

Showing other candidates how to do what? Make promises that people want to hear with no chance of fulfilling those promises? Showing candidates that Americans are so gullible that they will equate bluster, arrogance,misogyny, and incivility with courage?
