"Moderate" cannot be the right word. He wants to enforce crazy ideas, some of which Republican assholes love. But he wants to do it all with bug, very big, government. He has no problem with big government, he just says he doesn't like the people running it. But he will love government power. Isn't that the antithesis of Republicans? Or is that no longer a thing?

If you listen to and read his history almost every comment he has ever made on politics leans towards the D philosophy. In fact, I have never heard the guy or read anything about him through the decades that wasn't close to D beliefs. Now he is running and all of a sudden he becomes a crazy right wing. No, I will believe what he has said for decades. He is a true moderate.
Only one that comes to mind is his reply when asked if he was a D or a R. It was something like this...well I would guess I would call myself a D because it seems to me that when the D's are in power the economy does better. That is what he said, and incidentally it is true.Comment -
Anybody with a half brain would realize first that D Trump is not a stupid person. Almost everybody would agree with that. Next, out of the clear he becomes a right wing crazy. Doesn't make sense. He is pandering to the right wing crazies of the R party. Now they are idiots and they are unable to make serious connections. Why do you think Dwightie and some others are waving the D Trump flag.
Think about this for a second. It is physically impossible to build a wall between Mexico and the US. You think Trump doesn't realize this. He does. Second most of the recent illegals are not Mexicans. Third, it is logistically and financially next to impossible to remove all the illegals. Trump knows this, and he also knows that the nuts of the R party will embrace it, again take Dwightie. He is a huge Trumpie, without even knowing that his true beliefs are very moderate. Trump is smart and this is a calculated strategy to garner the extreme right, and he did. I mean even people like Carson and Cruz two very extreme right wing nuts are trailing Trump. It is a strategy, he did some thought realized the crazies will buy this crap and it is working.
But, it will not last, he has no chance.
Mr. Brooks your replies are so weak and so just so...uneducated I won't even respond to your specific comment.. You attempting to cross swords with me is laughable.Last edited by dante1; 08-19-15, 10:47 AM.Comment -

I dont agree with trump on some things he is kind of left wing but i like him at the same time. I would vote for a dem if i thought they truely had the best interest for the coujtry and had good policy. Hillary does not have either, bernie sanders has the best interest for the country but the wrong policy. You just cant give the tax payers more fuckin bills and expect it to have a good impact on the economy. If theb dems had a bill clinton i would consider voting for himComment -
you actually think I worry or think about any of you guys, especially you. I left because I get bored with idiots like you and Dwightie, and then when I return Dwightie is still tossing my name around like a 5th grade kid. No Brooks you and Dwightie and just about everybody else occupy not one second of my time at all, it would be like thinking about a blade of grass or a pebble. And sir present to me just one post in which you bested me. Good luck.
These idiots are simply amazing!Comment -
If Trump is elected I think it is over for America.
Economy will be smaller than Belgium by the end of his first (and only) term.Comment -

These are govt numbers, it would cost between 100 billion and 200 billion to deport all illegals, yet the govt says it costs a 133 billion a year from tax payers a year by them being here. So in two years it's a win win for tax payers
In 10 years that over a trillion dollars that could go towards the national debt , which would pay down over 5% of it. So it's very do able financially to kick them all out, and why should we care about them anyways at 133 billion a year costs to tax payers

Exactly, the crazies are against ideas until they are for them. Big government is a mortal sin unless it is Bush, flip/flopping was a terrible terrible thing, until it wasn't. Deficits are bad, until they aren't. Doesn't matter the idea what does matter is what their current idiot is espousing. They are flexible, yet every single idea President Obama initiated was bad. Every one, imagine that.Comment -
I would like to see that government figure that claims it cost 133 billion to keep illegals here. Actually I believe the BBB, a very right wing organization would argue that number. They are firmly for an immigration deal probably because they are an asset for the economy and not a liability. Actually many organizations makes this exact same point.Last edited by dante1; 08-19-15, 10:54 AM.Comment -
this is your typical response, no meat no actual intelligent response. Just an attack, so different from people that have a half a brain. You and dwightie have a 5th grade mentality. Hey btw, where is that post of you besting me. Does it resemble something like this post. lol. Oh mr Brooks you are so deficient.
And btw, I am finished with you, you resemble an annoying little bug you should receive very little attention. You may have the rest of the responses, you need them mr brooks.Comment -

This is not a parody. This is not from The Onion. This happened. Last night on O'Reilly's show, they were discussing the 14th amendment, which says:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside."
Trump's response to the 14th amendment?
"It's not going to hold up in court."
So, let's get this straight. Trump claims that the 14th amendment TO THE CONSTITUTION is not constitutional. He is literally claiming that the constitution is unconstitutional.
When asked to clarify if he instead truly meant to say that he wanted to amend the constitution, he says no. "That takes too long." It should be tested in court.
Good luck with this guy, Republicans.

What country doesn't secure its borders and allows people to just walk across to the extent the USA allows? Trump at least has the guts to try and finally do something about it. Will he get everything he wants? Probably not. He will build the wall. He will decrease the amount of bad people crossing the border and if he is successful of speeding up the legal immigration then that's also a good thing. Plus, like he says, there will be more jobs for those that are already in the country. That includes latinos and that is why I agree with him that he will win the hispanic vote. Most hispanics understand this.
Indeed, a new poll of GOP primary voters in Nevada by One America News Networkshows Trump in first place among Hispanics. He was the choice of 27.7% of respondents overall. But, among Hispanics, the figure jumped to 31.4%.Last edited by DwightShrute; 08-19-15, 01:44 PM.Comment -

This "joke" of a candidate is now only 6 points behind Hillary Clinton in cnn poll, he was down over twenty points couple months ago.Comment -
Good post Dante but answer that one for me please. Why will it not last? Do you think he will just give up during the coming months? Will he get beaten down by the other politicians etc etc?
I'm sure he is making calculated decisions on what he is doing, I truly believe he is a liberal with some republican views but ultimately he knows the red side is the right horse to try and get backing from if he wants to win.
Obviously this is just a guess from a simple brooks minded individual but I think he made the right decision. Reagan was similar and certainly wasn't hated by everyone.Comment -
Im a Trump fan, but I also realize there is no way in Hell anyone can rescind the 14th amendment, but thats ok, when he starts deporting illegal parents 8 out of 10 of them will take their US born kids with them, and Trumps knows this.

But, Trump is right to say many lawyers do not agree that a child born of foreign parents is an automatic
United States citizen. Why ?
Read the language again.
1) Born in the US - pass.
2) Naturalized in the US - fail.
3) Subject to the jurisdiction thereof - fail.
Babies born of foreign nationals are subjects of the country of their parents.
They are minors. Minors of foreign nationals who are subject to extradition and
the laws of their citizenship (foreign) are not US citizens.

The Donald wants to build up our military so no one will mess with us
Our defense budget is roughly one trillion dollars per year. And he wants more. If $1,000,000,000,000/year isn't enough to feel safe, maybe the problem isn't the size of the military.
We should cut back on active military personnel until it's embarrassing low. Reallocate that money into the VA system and school districts, help educate our youth, including college funding.
Instead of building a much larger military, as The "penetrating retard" Donald proposes, focus on drones and special forces. Most active members of the military now a days only know how to drive a tank and cook. Most have never driven a tank anywhere but in war games or simulations.
The money is already being collected, it just needs to be spent better. And having a massive, cumbersome, lazy military isn't the best allocation.Comment -
If you cut the military budget then the terrorists win.Comment -
This is the most overrated statement in politics. I collect on defaulted student loans. Have been doing it for over 16 years now. This is some of the most wasted money I have ever seen distributed. So many people get the student loans thinking that all they have to do is go to school, and the world will be theirs. Truth is, many of them drop out before the course is finished, or never get the job they were looking for if they do graduate. Once they go into default, they then get mad because they can't get even more student funding. About 40% of the people I talk to are unemployed. More than half of them are paying $5/month to try and get it out of default so they can take even more money later.The Donald wants to build up our military so no one will mess with us

There is enough money going out there for college funding. The problem is that the government is giving it to way too many irresponsible people.Comment
