"Nastiest impulses?" Enforcing existing laws? Wow.

[Uncle Miltie]

Enforcing the law is nasty.

Got it.

[DaxtonBrown]

“tough few weeks for Republicans.”

Tough for Republicans, yes. But invigorating for conservatives. I see Jeb, Marco and Christie rendered irrelevant.

[exnavy]

Those “laws have largely been ignored for nearly 50 years. Illegal immigrants have been pouring over that border since I was a little boy.

[EagleUSA]

Yes, those pro-American, pro-security, pro-economy, pro-Constitution, pro-law-abiding ideas are definitely going to sink the GOP establishment.

OMG, what will Boner, McConnell, McCain, Grahamnesty, and the rest of the GOPe do for payoffs???

[KarlInOhio]

If the modern Republicans are the equivalent of the White, then this issue must be the equivalent of slavery with the GOPe trying to ride the mushy middle.

[BlackAdderess]

Saving cities currently snowed under with drug crime, debt, and failing schools thanks in large part to the English as a second language bunch?

Negotiating agreements that don’t result in millions of American job losses?

Enforcing existing law?

The BASTARD!

[LS]

The guy doesn’t know history. The GOP took the country dominantly for one reason only: under Lincoln and Seward and Stevens they unabashedly took on THE issue of the day, slavery. Trouble is today we have several issues but Trump so far the only one unabashedly taking on one of these, illegal immigration.

[GingisK]

Trump threatens to topple a domino that could force the GOP into an open split and a full rebranding.

Ta-da! That is the only thing that can save the GOP.

[Ohioan]

The panic that truth deniers exhibit, when their cowardice is exposed, should serve as a wakeup call to all who care about the future.

Perhaps the single most dangerous tendency in an era of very, very destructive tendencies among a great segment of the population, is that which confines thinking to very, very short term concepts. We have replaced the many generational vision of the Founding Fathers, for a let's all maximize material profit over the next couple of years, and "make believe" that our posterity will be able to cope with whatever our reckless disregard leaves for them.

It may be much too early to endorse anyone for President. But I give thanks to the Almighty for Donald Trumps shaking up the morally bankrupt ostriches in our midst.

[TomGuy]

force the GOP into an open split and a full rebranding.

That may be just what it needs.

Conservatives hang on like piglets hanging on to mommy's teat. They complain about the direction the Elites are going -- to no avail. They did not change 'the party' with Goldwater, not with Reagan (for 2 terms).

Elites are moving the party to the left. They are going to same direction as the progressives/Democrats, just at a slower pace. Look at the current Congress. The Republicans have given Obama nearly everything he wants. It was the Dems who tried to sink the trade deal.

Republicans try so hard. They want to be with the kewl kids. They want the Dems to like them.

Assuming the nation survives the remainder of Obama's term and the next progressive president, the party split is inevitable. It has been inevitable at least for the past decade. It is only a question of how much more the conservatives will hang on for. It will be the conservatives who split -- because the GOPElites hold the Republican party leadership and they are not going to let go of that.

[Macoozie]

“Nastiest impulses”? really . . .

A RINO complaining.

So if you waskelly wepublicans would just adopt the Liberal Democrat ideas, then maybe Republicans could win.
Old White Conservative vs what ? ? ? Young non-white liberals?

That isn’t the war to fight at this time.
The battle lines are government control and dependency vs freedom and self determination.

And this writer is a GOPlifer.....it’s a creased pants NPR GOP

[GoneSalt]

Trump should commit big time to reaching out to the black communities. Use white guilt to his advantage. If blacks march for Trump, whites will capitulate.

Every illegal is a black man out of a job. Sorry, in a knifefight there are no rules.

It’s been used against us, might as well use it for us.

[proxy_user]

Trump: “Of course, the Mexicans are fine people who are only looking for economic opportunity, but we have to enforce our laws and chose which immigrants we wish to admit. Our first consideration must always to be to provide jobs for our own citizens.”

Nope, that’s not what he said!

[Flintlock]

Racist, racist, racist.
Racist Racist.

Racist.

[Pelham]

Nasty impulse bump

[Nea Wood]

Instead of saying, “Wow, Trump’s popularity must mean the American people want the borders sealed and illegals deported, maybe we should agree with Trump,” the Stupid Party strikes again. They deserve to lose.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Trump if successful might actually bring the GOP back.
