The great danger that Trump represents is to The Cheap Labor Express, Grahamnesty’s employers.

Trump has people thinking we can shut them down.

No Mr. Graham, Mr. Trump is telling the TRUTH, something unlike politicians can't do anymore because they want to make money to line their own pockets with, meaning they owe their souls to lobbistists that run the government...

Mr. Trump is calling you thieves out!!!

I so look forward to his whining about being shut out of the first debate. “But...I’m a United States Senator!”
