Trump not out of the mainstream at all. In fact, 55% of Americans supported the MOST restrictive position on immigration. And that makes obvious sense....why would Americans cheer for foreigners to come in and take their jobs, live off their welfare, and provide security risks to their safety?

Trump is right there where the American people are.

What’s really significant about this article is that Byron York actually wrote this. Is that a sign some of the insider media types are beginning to get it?

“Enforce existing immigration law” was not one of the options. If it were, I suspect the support level would be a lot higher than 55%.

The largest single group, 24.4 percent, supported the most draconian option — closed borders and mass deportation — that is dismissed by every candidate in the race, including Trump.

Media bias? What Media bias? I see no Media bias.

I keep saying this. President Trump is going to need Jeff Sessions, Ted Cruz, and the others in the small number of reliable conservatives to be in the US Senate in order to clean up that sewer. Sessions and Cruz have both political and legal knowledge that will keep the endeavor on track.

Trump is the only one who has said “deport all illegals”

Trump is the only one who has said build a wall

Trump is the only one that put out his immigration plan, talked against China,Mexico, Saudi Arabia

Trump is the most pro-American ,not owned by big donors like Soros or Koch brothers or zuckerberg billionaires that are for amnesty and or foreign interests as are the politicians

The same survey shows that most Americans are with Bernie Sanders and Liz Warren on Social Security.

media types are beginning to get it

FWIW, Marcia Radditz got to ride on the Trump helicopter while the kids were having a field day. She was as close to gushing as she's ever been, raving about how much Trump enjoyed the kids and the kids had a great, fun time.

I listened to Chris Christie spin about ‘the wall’ this morning, bad-mouthing the concept by saying people could go over, under, around, or through it. They know it has always been presented as complete with high tech monitoring, increased Border Patrol, etc.

They also know that ‘the wall’ is a metaphor for completely gaining control of access to this nation: visa control, port control, airport control, coastal control, and border control. What is so hard about being honest by these people?!!

They're seeing a hole open up between the electorate and the party elites that some third-party candidate is going to drive a Mack Truck through.

This is not the year to argue Social Security. There are bigger fish to fry than whether the younger generation can’t start collecting until 68 years old.

I live in California and went to Boston the 4th of July.
In California Hispanics have taken over all no professional jobs and has forced an American citizen to learn Spanish to get any kind of service industry job.

In Boston there are no Hispanics around. All the jobs I see Hispanics doing here are done by blacks and whites in Boston no problem.

So from that I can say that Hispanics are taking the jobs of poorer blacks and whites in California and other places and they are also making Spanish another road block for America citizens to work.

A straw man argument is a sure sign that they’ve lost the argument.

And, you are correct

The VP needs to be someone who does not dilute the Senate or House majority. As the VP is a fairly powerless position I’d look to a Fiorina or Carson type pick for VP

I absolutely agree with that. The obvious problem with a 3rd party run is the US Constitution and the state-by-state denial of access to having a candidate appear on a ballot. The only 3rd party currently with almost all states (48, I think) is the Libertarian Party.

From the article: “”Many citizens support policies that seem to fall outside of the range of policy options considered in elite discourse,” Broockman and Ahler conclude.”

A simply priceless piece of statistician interpretation-speak!

“Seem to fall outside”...? Doesn’t look like there is any ‘seem’ to it.

The politicos are wholly out of touch with mainstream America on this issue, and many others.
