I don’t know how Jason can claim that Ted Cruz “self-destructed” on the “immigration” issue. It’s ILLEGAL immigration we’re talking about, and Sen. Cruz did just fine in his comments.
And who the hell is the Jason dude, anyway?
As for Rick Perry, I wish those former Navy SEALS would revoke their endorsement. Perry should be running as the democrat he once “officially” was.
“Who is this author Jason Easley? Is he a real conservative, or at best a libertarian concern troll?”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Conservatives4Palin characterized him as a “left-wing hack”.
Which he appears to be, if you search on his name and see what he has written.
So to answer your question: neither. He is, indeed, a left-wing hack.
They’re sort of the poor man’s MSNBC of blogging.
Seems they didn’t get msg in November.
Make America Great Again!
“I guess Jason doesn’t know any real Americans.”
“The problem is that the Republican Party’s position on immigration is largely viewed by the rest of the country as wrong”
Hey, you heard Jason. He speaks for the entire country.
Exactly. Right now they are trying to shout him down and by extention any one who agrees with him. I hate that old bs comment we are all immigrants. Perhaps but most of our fore fathers were not kowtowed too. The eSL and welfare benefits drive me wild. .
Is there any Sunday morning show that doesn't claim that any given Republican is destroying the party?
I like what Mark Levin says. We are not a nation of immigrants, “we are an nation of citizens.”
Sometimes what people say is not really their opinion, but rather manufactured BS they want others to believe. They may or may not actually believe it themselves. The far left does this continuously.
The GOP have done a pretty good job of destroying themselves.
John McCain and Mitt Romney are two examples.
I find it amusing that reporters minimize Trump, then complain he is
destroying the party.
His buddies at the bath house all agree with him.
"The Republican Party does not want to talk about immigration. They want to avoid the issue at all costs. Their position on immigration will cost them votes in states across the country in 2016".
"Donald Trump has doused the party in gasoline and lit the match. But the biggest reason the GOP is crumbling is that a sizable percentage of their voters agree with the racist bigotry of Donald Trump".
Bingo!
He’s going to take out all the real candidates and then endorse Bush or Hillary.
1) The Republican Party has been destroying itself ever since Reagan.
2) Good riddance.
What would you expect from that web site? Democrat Underground with a shine on it.
Not much else can be expected from Politics USA
Static analysis.
Here's my take:
The ruling coalition is united around several things that the people are against. They are skilled at setting up phony issues (or issues that don’t concern the Federal government) to break up the formation of any possible other coalition.
Republicans and Democrats agree that the purpose of the State is redistribution. How much, and to whom, and under what circumstances, there are disagreements. But no elected officials of either Party believe that it is wrong to take from you and give to another of their own choosing, for reasons that make sense to them.
Republicans and Democrats agree that you have “rights” - lots of them. They also agree that any question ABOUT your “rights”, or whether or not something IS a “right”, should not be decided by a political process because that is “divisive”. So, they both agree that the voice of “the People” as contemplated in Articles IX and X can only be voiced by nine unelected life tenure judges, and that five of them, at any time or for any reason, can give new “rights” and take away old ones, particularly if those old ones arise out of majority voting.
Republicans and Democrats all believe in “diversity”. They, ignoring completely the results of all social science research on this subject, and contrary to millennia of human experience and wisdom, believe that the more “diverse” our country, its institutions, and any private entities within her become, the more cohesive and productive we will become.
Republicans and Democrats almost all believe in “free trade” and “immigration”. These things are good for various constituencies of both parties while they wreck the economy and the nation.
Many of the People, perhaps a majority, do not believe in any of these things. But in our existing system, captive as it is to the MSM-mandated “process” for choosing two candidates for POTUS neither of whom will change a thing, leaves the People with no voice.
Trump's immigration position - which in a normal country would be quite mild - is going to blow the Uniparty to hell if he doesn't fold.
Why? Because he WILL lose votes, as this stupid little idiot says - but it will gain 3 votes for every vote it loses.
Trump is “walking point” for Cruz. Land mines and liberal heads are exploding, the media snipers are firing away, and Trump’s poll numbers are going up. People like what he’s saying (right now) but don’t like the man. Trump will withdraw due to business losses, and Cruz slides into place. Great strategy. Go Ted!
