During an interruption from a person Donald Trump described as a "Bernie plant," another audience member shouted out: "Immigrants are the backbone of this country."
"No," Trump responded. "I don't think so, darling. They're not the backbone. I'll tell you what... Let me just tell you something. You know the backbone of our country? People that came to this country legally and they worked their ass off and made this country great."

Thank you, and glad to share it.
Good. It was meant in good cheer. :)
Welcome to the party! Nice to hear a perspective from the slave states. My grandfather was union for 50+ years. They didn’t do a damn thing for him, but he had to pay the dues, or he couldn’t work. Of course down here, the masons don’t like the unions.
Have to agree with a lot—excepting the born again Obama comment. Carter was the only modern born-again President, so unfortunately, the charge is still valid. Wearing a Jesus t-shirt doesn’t make a person moral or smart.
That said, Obama ain’t Christian, and he wasn’t born; he was manufactured (and not in America, or by Americans).
“Just in case you might be a bit foggy on the issue,...’He’... is not a reference to a political donor.”
I agree, “He” is a reference to the King. However, we can also modernize that to reference a “ruling class.” The pay to play claims by Trump are indicative that he believes that we have a Ruling class and that he has proudly been part of that class.
When the Founders created the new governing documents, they clearly had studied the great philosophers that were available to them. They wanted to LIMIT the government, therefore they recognized the danger in having a ruling class. Trump BRAGS about being part of this ruling class.
If you can’t understand these distinctions, then you don’t understand the tyranny of our day.
The ruling class are the donor class which own Cruz, not Trump. The founding fathers were land owners and businessmen, not political hacks. Everything should be assessed in light of that.
