Sorry John, building a real border fence is issue #1 and Trump is the only one talking about it. It was promised and funded back in 2006, and clearly the uniparty has no intention or desire to do it. The GOP just wants to keep flooding the country with cheap foreign labor on behalf of the Chamber of Cronies. Trump is the last chance to salvage what’s left of the GOP before they revert back to permanent minority status, which is where they prefer to be.
The Trump view, boiled down: Theyre all idiots and Im very rich and I know how to do things and if you say Word One against me I will say something incredibly nasty about you and who cares about how the Senate works or the House works or international alliances work or how treaties work or how anything works. That stuff is for sissies and losers and disasters. I know how to do it I me me me I me me I I me. And me. And I.WOW! BUT, They got it all wrong! Wrong Guy and I can prove with by changing a couple of words!

Even if Trump becomes the 45th, it would pale in comparison to the biggest FUBAR America ever elected.
Of course, I mean President FUBO. The biggest fraud, liar, bastard, imposter, jerk and POS ever to be elected.
Electing Trump would seem a perfectly normal and sane idea compared to the crap we’ve had infesting the White House.
Geography defines a nation, along with culture.
Everyone talks about culture, no one else acts on geography.
We’re not talking about conquering territory, just protecting what we’ve inherited.
Nice try John ——
“...because it is little more than a vile expression of open hatred toward Mexicans in a country where people of Mexican descent make up 11 percent of the electorate....”
FALSE. Trump has consistently attacked ILLEGAL Mexicans, and the corrupt politicians that support them, not all Mexicans. You also fail to mention all the positive pro-American things he has also been trumpeting at the same time.
You should be attacking the limp-phallus RINOs (which excludes Cruz) who are working hard to suppress any form of Republican FIGHT and head-on attack of Obama and the criminal Democrat Party. Go away John.
For example, what is this "vile expression of hatred towards Mexicans" that Podhoretz speaks of? For the low information voter, you would think that Trump was talking of opening concentration camps and having stormtroopers throw rocks through windows of taco shops and Chipotle restaurants.
All Trump has ever said was that he would secure the border as otherwise, Mexicans are sending us their criminals and other undesirables, as they certainly are. Also, much to the consternation of many conservatives, Trump actually seems a little to the left when it comes to amnesty for those already here and very pro-immigration, so long as it flows through legal channels.
Also, this Podhoretz must not have listened to any of Trump's hour plus speeches (sans teleprompter) in which he does go into some detail of what he would do as president.
Case in point, that Ford factory that is getting built in Mexico, after it first was to be built here. Trump spent several minutes on this, pointing out how if he was president and this was announced, he would get Congress to impose tariffs on every car brought into the U.S. and by doing so, would convince Ford that they'd better leave the factory here in the U.S.
But revealing that would take away from the narrative that Trump "hates everybody" and does not have any specifics.
What have the professional politicians said about the lawless violent borders they created?
What have they said they’ll do about it?
Did they name who is responsible for this epic failure and what did they say they’ll do about it?
Another really good article. Trump has certainly added an edge to this race.
What an idiot.
Yeah.
In October 2016, maybe.
Yes, discussing those other issues will surely tell us how the other candidates actually stand. Waffle, waffle.
