The one thing that the rival factions of top donors have in common is their desire for amnesty.

They all want their cheap labor and the Cubans will get it for them.

Who will buy the cheap products that the Mexicans will make? All the Americans will be out of work and have no money to spend. When the government is no longer able to print money, there will be a lot angry Americans looking for politicians and Mexicans tomtake revenge on.

I think Europe will give us a good idea of how angry citizens respond to politicians and migrants.

The only problem with Europe possibly providing a good idea of how angry citizens respond is that European culture and civilization might already have collapsed before they do. We’re on our way, and will be gone, too, by that time.

Very telling that these PAC fund Rubio and Cruz. Shows they trust either one to grant amnesty. If illegals are allowed to flood this country and stay, we will look like Europe. When we no longer have a nation thanks to Rubio or Cruz the issues of Trump being rude or of what will replace Obamacare simply won’t matter. Vote for those who are globalist at all our peril. I will vote for the guy who wants to Make America Great Again

This is great. The losers sit back and fight one another with someone else’s money, while Trump sits back and laughs.

Funny, I don’t remember New York Times describing the Hillary vs. Obama camps (or the Hillary vs. Sanders camps) as “shadowy” and ominous-sounding “two mutually hostile and deep-pocketed factions.”

“..They include wealthy evangelicals, libertarian businessmen, Israel hawks and others disenchanted by the party’s past nominees, and are drawn to Mr. Cruz’s uncompromising social conservatism and his promise to disrupt the party’s traditional power brokers in Washington.”
