Trump can’t actually win, can he?

---

Depends on how stupid conservatives are...

[Lopeover]

To recoin an old phase: Oh, yes he can!

[Jim Robinson]

The panic sets in.

[JMS]

All these so-called “wise men” and pundits keep thinking the American people want complex policy statements - well look at how well Carter did and how we all got behind Dukakis/S. We want a leader who understands the big picture and who knows how to pick the right people to carry out strategy not the explain every tactical detail without understanding that our enemies are not standing still and cooperating. This is how we’ve gotten to the point of where we are in the world.

DOYLE MacManus is a tired out old lefty.

Trump has put fear into the soul of the left.

[Tzimisce]

We here at magazine have always been fair, unbiased and non-partisan. Which is why we're perplexed why Trump is leading in the polls. Surely the uncouth people who populate the backwaters of so called "flyover country" can't possibly be serious when they buck the superior ideas of educated, erudite intelligentsia of our learned wise men of academia. Have these bumpkins not noticed that the the middle east has been in turmoil since Trump announced his campaign? And don't even get us started on how stock market has dropped since Trump started his narrow minded march. How can we trust someone with no experience? And that's why we can only back Bernie Sanders for President. We as Democrats and Republicans can finally come together under a single candidate whom we all agree has the right solution for everything.

[Dr.Deth]

Tim Tebow starting a playoff game? What a joke, he can’t win.

[HarleyLady27]

Oh yes he can and he is....we the people have had enough of the lies and corruption of our spineless sissy politcans and there isn't one candidate out there that isn't bought and paid for other than Trump....there isn't one out there that has the dream of a Beautiful America, the only reason they are there is to get their five minutes of glory, it's not about us, it's about them, all of them EXCEPT Trump... I recieved this from a friend of mine last night, pretty interesting read: Considering the Denver Post is a liberal paper I'm surprised they published this. This really shows how the hiring of illegals is false economic practice. Tina Griego is a Free-Lance reporter for the Denver Post. She writes some really good stuff and she is a strong advocate for LEGAL immigration. Homework on issues is part of her make-up and fabric. What if they left? Somebody really did their homework on this one. Best on the subject to date. It does not have a political slant to it; it’s just the facts: Not Democratic, not Republican, not liberal, and not conservative. What if 20 Million Illegal Aliens Vacated America? I, Tina Griego, journalist for the Denver Rocky Mountain titled, "Mexican Visitor's Lament." I interviewed Mexican journalist Evangelina Hernandez while visiting Denver last week. Hernandez said, "Illegal aliens pay rent, buy groceries, buy clothes. What happens to your country's economy if 20 million people go away?" Hmmm, I thought, what would happen? So I did my due diligence, buried my nose as a reporter into the FACTS I found below. It's a good question... it deserves an honest answer. Over 80% of Americans demand secured borders and illegal migration stopped. But what would happen if all 20 million or more vacated America? The answers I found may surprise you! In California, if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to Mexico, it would leave an extra $10.2 billion to spend on overloaded school systems, bankrupt hospitals and overrun prisons. It would leave highways cleaner, safer and less congested. Everyone could understand one another as English became the dominant language again. In Colorado, 500,000 illegal migrants, plus their 300,000 kids and grandchildren would move back "home," mostly to Mexico. That would save Colorado an estimated $2 billion (other experts say $7 billion) annually in taxes that pay for schooling, medical, social-services and incarceration costs. It means 12,000 gang members would vanish out of Denver alone. ​ ​ Colorado would save more than $20 million in prison costs and the terror that those 7,300 alien criminals set upon local citizens. Denver Officer Don Young and hundreds of Colorado victims would not have suffered death, accidents, rapes and other crimes by illegals. Denver Public Schools would not suffer a 67% dropout/flunk rate because of thousands of illegal alien students speaking 41 different languages. At least 200,000 vehicles would vanish from our gridlocked cities in Colorado. Denver's 4% unemployment rate would vanish as our working poor would gain jobs at a living wage. In Florida, 1.5 million illegals would return the Sunshine State back to America, the rule of law, and English. In Chicago, Illinois, 2.1 million illegals would free up hospitals, schools, prisons and highways for a safer, cleaner and more crime-free experience. If 20 million illegal aliens returned 'home,' the U.S. economy would return to the rule of law. Employers would hire legal American citizens at a living wage. Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes because they wouldn't be working off the books. That would result in an additional $401 billion in IRS income taxes collected annually and an equal amount for local, state and city coffers. No more push '1' for Spanish or '2' for English. No more confusion in American schools that now must contend with over 100 languages that degrade the educational system for American kids. Our overcrowded schools would lose more than two million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in ESL and free breakfasts and lunches. We would lose 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of more than $1.6 billion annually. That includes 15,000 MS-13 gang members who distribute $130 billion in drugs annually would vacate our country. In cities like L.A., 20,000 members of the '18th Street Gang' would vanish from our nation. No more Mexican forgery gangs for ID theft from Americans! No more foreign rapists and child molesters! Losing more than 20 million people would clear up our crowded highways and gridlock. Cleaner air and less drinking and driving American deaths by illegal aliens! America's economy is drained. Taxpayers are harmed. Employers get rich. Over $80 billion annually wouldn't return to the aliens' home countries by cash transfers. Illegal migrants earned half that money untaxed, which further drains America's economy which currently suffers a $20 trillion debt. $20 trillion debt!!! At least 400,000 anchor babies would not be born in our country, costing us $109 billion per year per cycle. At least 86 hospitals in California, Georgia and Florida would still be operating instead of being bankrupt out of existence because illegals pay nothing via the EMTOLA Act. Americans wouldn't suffer thousands of TB and hepatitis cases rampant in our country - brought in by illegals unscreened at our borders. ​ ​ Our cities would see 20 million less people driving, polluting and grid locking our cities. It would also put the 'progressives' on the horns of a dilemma; illegal aliens and their families cause 11% of our greenhouse gases. Over one million of Mexico's poorest citizens now live inside and along our border from Brownsville, Texas, to San Diego, California, in what the New York Times called, 'colonias' or new neighborhoods. Trouble is, those living areas resemble Bombay and Calcutta where grinding poverty, filth, diseases, drugs, crimes, no sanitation and worse. They live without sewage, clean water, streets, roads, electricity, or any kind of sanitation. The New York Times reported them to be America's new 'Third World' inside our own country. Within 20 years, at their current growth rate, they expect 20 million residents of those colonias. (I've seen them personally in Texas and Arizona; it's sickening beyond anything you can imagine.) By enforcing our laws, we could repatriate them back to Mexico. We should invite 20 million aliens to go home, fix their own countries and/or make a better life in Mexico. We already invite a million people into our country legally annually, more than all other countries combined. We cannot and must not allow anarchy at our borders, more anarchy within our borders and growing lawlessness at every level in our nation. It's time to stand up for our country, our culture, our civilization and our way of life. Interesting Statistics! Here are 14 reasons illegal aliens should vacate America and I hope they are forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them: 1. $14 billion to $22 billion dollars are spent each year on welfare to illegal aliens (that's Billion with a 'B') . (I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO #2) 3. $7.5 billion dollars are spent each year on Medicaid for illegal aliens. 4. $12 billion dollars are spent each year on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they still cannot speak a word of English . 5. $27 billion dollars are spent each year for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies. 6. $3 Million Dollars 'PER DAY' is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens. That's $1.2 Billion a year. 7. 28% percent of all federal prison inmates are illegal aliens. 8. $190 billion dollars are spent each year on illegal aliens for welfare & social services by the American taxpayers. < http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANscriptS/0610/29/ldt.01.html > 9. $200 billion dollars per year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens. 10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US. 11. During the year 2005, there were 8 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our southern border with as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from other terrorist countries. Over 10,000 of those were middle-eastern terrorists. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin, crack, guns, and marijuana crossed into the U.S. from the southern border. 12. The National Policy Institute estimates that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion, or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period. 13. In 2006, illegal aliens sent home $65 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin, to their families and friends. 14. The dark side of illegal immigration: Nearly one million sex crimes are committed by illegal immigrants in the United States! Total cost a whopping $538.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR! If this doesn't bother YOU, then just delete the message. Otherwise, forward this to everyone YOU know!

[ichabod1]

He’s going to get a LOT of democrat votes. That’s why I think he may win.

[nickcarraway]

The better question is: is he even going to try?

[Read Write Repeat]

Of course Trump can win.

That reality should really light a fire under Congress’ collective behinds on conservative issue legislation if they want to keep their precious seats.

George W. Bush-43, was supposed to understand Middle-East. After all, his father, Bush-41 had successfully dislodged Saddam from Kuwait. And got PAID for doing it!

So, let me see, what happened in Iraq war by Bush-43....
we sacrifice blood and treasure, thosands of brave young American soldiers maimed and killed, pile on $2,000,000,000,000.00 additional national debt on which we must pay interest every year in PERPETUITY (because we have budget deficits and can’t pay any principle), dismantle dictatorships in Iraq, Syria, Egypt & Libya to be replaced by Islamist regimes every where, give birth to ISIS who now owns lot of Iraqi oil, and now Iran controls what is left of a broken Iraq. And we GOT PAID NOTHING!

I can’t think of anything more stupid than protecting oil flows to China and Japan from the M-E with borrowed money from China & Japan, while we do not need a single barrel of oil from M-E.

That is more awful by orders of magnitude than not knowing names of terrorist leaders at the tip of your tongue. Like Sarah Palin said, we need a tough leader, not a trivial pursuit champ.

[BobL]

“Last week, he bobbled a question from conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, admitting testily that he didn’t know the names of the leaders of Al Qaeda or Islamic State.”

I suspect that President Trump will somehow find people that get off on knowing who the leader of Al Qaeda and ISIS are.

"It's not inconceivable," Vin Weber, a former congressman (and Jeb Bush supporter)

OMG, the LAT quoted Vin Weber!!!! That's it folks, it's all over for Trump....

Now I must admit I have no idea who the...*&^% Vin Weber is...☺ But he must be a great Republican wise man~

[Hulka]

“I talked with Republican wise men last week”

Republican (GOPe) “wise men”. . .they have those?

[Dallas59]

No. He won’t win. He is the Ross Perot of the early 21st century. He says things you like to hear...but shallow on how it’s going to be done. In fact so are all the other GOP candidates.

[Tau Food]

Of course, he could win the nomination and if he does, I’ll support him.

[Amendment10]

Obama proved that anybody who can do a reasonable job reading a teleprompter can be elected president. Low-information voters just want to see lips move.
