And you may be right. But if Trump were not in this race I firmly believe Hillary would be running away with it as we speak. Trump plays by his own rules and he's not beholding to some PAC or Sugar-Daddy. He's free from the system and people across the political spectrum are furious with "the system". They feel manipulated and used, and justifiably so. <br />The reason Jeb! and Rubio and all the rest haven't been able to gain any traction is they are perceived as the problem, not the solution. Immigration is the litmus test this election. If a candidate is in the wrong side they are finished. It's as simple as that.

Don't make me laugh. Libya and Benghazi? Her criminal actions with classified material in emails? <br /><br />I'm not too worried about who says what because in the end, Congress has to go along with it. Trump's tax plan certainly would benefit most working people. Making friends with Putin might be a good idea. It would be good to continue this discussion on immigration legal and illegal. <br /><br />I would prefer more pro-liberty candidates. They are all bad in their own way.sth_txsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591018003444406729.post-28880297486102073172016-01-13T12:08:01.703-05:002016-01-13T12:08:01.703-05:00You're right in the sense that this is a one i...You're right in the sense that this is a one issue election for folks like me. But CW, be reasonable. All those issues you mention mean absolutely nothing if this immigration mess isn't dealt with forcibly, competently and immediately. If Hillary is elected you and I become irrelevant dinosaurs. Strangers in a strange land run by the ultra-wealthy and foreigners.

Hillary Clinton has a far more reasoned and mature approach to foreign policy. So yes, I would support Hillary Clinton before I would support Donald Trump (as we've discussed, if Trump is the nom I will write in the Republican VP as my pick). Trump is masquerading as a Republican. I used to think that you and your ilk were being fooled by him on this account--but I no longer think that. You simply don't care. You don't have any real ideology to speak of, you simply want some strongman to come in and save you from whatever enemy it is you believe threatens you--apparently this is the immigrant. Good luck. I won't be part of this.The Conservative Wahoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17818674434286683162noreply@blogger.com
