I remember hearing that the number of Illegal Ivading Aliens was 20 million.. back in the 1990’s

I sense that this problem is far far larger than is commonly admitted to.

It’s not just the illegals but the visa holding aliens as well.

The goal is to decrease wages in America. Starting from the bottom and working up to the middle class.

Lib reasoning...

Libs hate big corps but love the big government that supports and protects big corps.

Libs say they love organic and local/small businesses but their love for big government kills the local/small business man and organic farmer through regulations, healthcare costs and taxes.

Libs say we need more people in America to support their social programs and we need more diversity to make America a better place, yet these same libtards eagerly support abortion and planned parenthood. Planned Parenthood, which was founded on the idea of reducing the black population...

My summery is this. Libs are mentally ill.

do the math. Is there enough remaining support for the rest of the field for either Cruz of Rubio to catch up to either Trump or Carson?
The math says that this thing is going to Cleveland without being locked up. The last brokered convention was before Eisenhower, it appears that one is in the works now. As Henninger said in today’s WSJ.

The caveat is that this is all based on polls, and the polls - as Michael Barone pointed out in today’s WSJ - have been getting flakier and flakier since people started abandoning landline telephones in droves.

Presumably lot of smoke will clear out after SEC Tuesday. Cruz could emerge from SEC Tuesday on close to an equal footing with Trump and Carson.

I do assume that Trump and Carson have peaked, but there are too many contenders for the other half of the vote to allow for a winner to emerge from the primaries. The wild card in negotiations in Cleveland will be the fact that Trump can self-finance; he seems to be the anti-JEB missile. GOPe can’t win with a threat to take their marbles and go home. They’ll have to give up a lot to get Trump to acquiesce to a deal; if Trump gets his juices up, there may not be enough to buy him off with. They should sell tickets to Cleveland.

Not even close to have peaked. Once Carson falters-—and he will, with all his recent terrible policy positions, which are 180 degrees opposite that of Trump-—it’s inevitable that a large number of his supporters leave the Trump Parking Lot and come on over. And, no, it won’t go to Cleveland.

I can give you good reasons why Trump will implode, too. Difference is, Trump’s financial independence means that he doesn’t have to ”be reasonable.“

Reportedly Cruz has the organization in the South, particularly. So the primaries down there will tell a major tale. I just think that Cleveland is a distinct possibility. Seems like the only other likely possibility is a Trump runaway.

Interesting times. I don’t actually have huge confidence in a Trump SCOTUS nominee being any better than, say, Harriet Miers. Unless he needed Cruz’ support enough to promise the first SCOTUS opening to him.

I’d bet a significant amount of money that a Cruz SCOTUS appt was discussed.

Rubio is an empty suit - like a robot he sprouts memorized lines and is controlled by billionaires such as Singer.

Lifetime SCOTUS vs. Extremely difficult Presidency is something to think about. If it is presented as longtime Conservative influence, it might be interesting.
