Trump shapes Republican debate, makes rivals vice presidential prospects

With his popularity soaring after a weekend rally that drew more than 30,000 supporters, Donald Trump on Sunday took aim at President Obama, Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton and his own party rivals as he continued his unlikely ride atop the Republican presidential field.

The real estate mogul’s rise has left other Republican presidential candidates on the defensive on immigration and other issues, and some contenders are even publicly floating the notion of serving as Mr. Trump’s vice presidential candidate.

In an interview on ABC’s “This Week” program Sunday, Mr. Trump defended his plan to build an impenetrable wall separating the U.S. and Mexico, saying the Obama administration is unable to address the problem because of sheer incompetence.

“I’m going to get great people that know what they’re doing, not a bunch of political hacks that have no idea what they’re doing, appointed by President Obama, that doesn’t have a clue. I mean that man doesn’t have a clue,” Mr. Trump said. “People are walking across the border right now, right in front of these great people that we have. We have wonderful Border Patrol people. They can do their job, but they’re not allowed to do the job.”

I think Session will be Majority Leader and Cruz will be Veep or Supreme Court Justice.

I think Trump will ask Carson to unravel Obamacare.

Trump get attacked by the media. He fights back and becomes more popular.

Trump speaks the truth and becomes more popular.

Trump rails against political correctness and becomes more popular.

Trump is attacked by his republican rivals, fights back and becomes more popular.

Trump says what others wish they could say and becomes more popular.

What a concept! The Donald may be on to something.

Drug smugglers easily scale high wall

....taken at the border fence just south of Nogales Arizona which borders the Mexican city by the same name. The city is located in the Mexican state of Sonora.

Very short video showing two smugglers easily scaling this wall

Chuck Todd on Meet the Press said that the crowd in Alabama was 20,000. He knew he was lying.

The nice thing is Obama has paved the way for him. On the first day in office he can nullify Obama’s executive orders on illegals and replace them with executive orders calling for immediate deportation of illegals and anchor babies, “implementing” the immigration laws.

“Trump Says He’d ‘Win Easily’ If He Ran With Oprah”

Some people on this site, which is the only place I see it, refuse to give that up. They evidently think they will destroy his efforts.
