  1. I can vouch for this personally as there's 22 people I know who have never voted before and most are already citizens or becoming citizens, and they are becoming registered voters just because they don't want their immigration status canceled and/ or they and their loved ones deported when most have been in the US for decades.

    Most have been through the harassment of "Go back to your country" bs by Trump voters and this is their way of saying.. this is our home too.

  2. He told MSNBC during the taping of a town hall-style event in Wisconsin that abortions should be banned and, if they are, women who get them should receive "some form of punishment." That sparked an immediate backlash from both sides of the debate, and Trump's campaign quickly backtracked, releasing a statement that sought to take back his words. It said that only those who perform abortions would be "held legally responsible, not the woman."

    Now if you told me this was an interview with a Taliban leader, sure I wouldn't be surprised in the least. A candidate for the highest office in the USA in 2016 then you would have to show me the tape. I simply would not believe a person would be stupid and ignorant enough for those words to come out of their mouth. Sorry this has to be a prank.

    Negative ghostrider!

    This is just how extreme the right is now.

  3. I thought after W. we would never see an incompetent person ever come close to the Commander in Chief position but oh my gosh.. Trump makes W look smart with his "mis-underestimate"ing the situation.

    People have very long memories like an elephant especially when crossed. This pretty much seals the election just like the Romney 47% and Sarah Palin all of them magazines.

    Sad part is if it was 1916 and women were not allowed to vote and there were not the demographics there are today.. Trump would win in a landslide. But thankfully it is 2016 and not 1916.

  4. Nope. The chance of terrorism affecting my life is like getting hit by lightning so I have other things to worry about like saving for my next vacation in Thailand.

    BTW I'm not shocked.. the belgians were caught with their pants down.. highest alert and they pull this off.. needless to say that's not the same level of security as the Americans.

  5. Big deal that Cuba thing !

    He should take care of the middle east "thing" foremost.

    Read this: The Obama Doctrine

    Obama said he is fixated on turning America’s attention to Asia. For Obama, Asia represents the future. Africa and Latin America, in his view, deserve far more U.S. attention than they receive. Europe, about which he is unromantic, is a source of global stability that requires, to his occasional annoyance, American hand-holding. And the Middle East is a region to be avoided—

    I agree.. why be the servants of the oil emirs, emperors and get involved when it's not our problem to begin with?

    Instead lets get Cuban cigars for every American to enjoy and maybe a vacation in Cuba like things used to be.

  6. ^ What's interesting is to watch the subtle transformation in the right wing members here. Many of them, based on long posting histories, seem to be Arch conservatives and predictably supportive of establishment Republican figures, and uniformly condemning of the Dems and especially Obama.

    However, I have noticed a slow and subtle change in some of the most prominent posters, who have gently turned to either partially supporting Trump or being less critical of him. I'm not sure if many of them are even aware of this change in themselves.

    In all of life one needs to set priorities. Rarely does one get everything he wants.

    I am a conservative. There is IMHO no conservative in this race and if there is, all are sold out to special interests for campaign contributions and cushy positions in Congress.

    I am hoping for just one cycle where an outsider comes in and steals the entrenched and corrupt insiders' candy store. That's it. I wish there was another choice but their isn't. I KNOW what will happen if one of the entrenched gets elected and that's the same thing that's happened for more than 40 years. My only HOPE is that an outspoken outsider will really take on unfair trade with China and illegal immigration and lousy trade deals with Mexico and support our military individuals and frankly, just do what he says he will do. Trump wants to help the economy and create jobs and Hillary and Bernie can talk only about helping the poor with handouts.

    He has an amazing track record of finishing what he starts and of running things - big things - successfully. He has an amazing track record of motivating people to follow him whether that be city hall or a foreign governments where he does biz.

    While R voters at primaries are setting records, D voters are down significantly. Trump is winning demographics that few expected he would including a lot of Democrat working class people. If that keeps up he'd crush the general election.

    When I know that all of the alternatives are phony and some totally dishonest, I have to go with what appears to be the enemy of the donor class. The donor class is acting like they KNOW he's the enemy and that is comforting. There's no where else to go!!!!!!

    Cheers.

    Oh really?

    Why is he in court for bait and switch policies?

    Why are there no businessmen who are vouching for him that they made money together?

    Why are illegals working in his hotels?

    And democrats are not switching to Trump.. just you watch.. Texas will swing blue against Trump and then it's all over.

    Why? Texas is only 43% white. Latinos will be damned if they vote Trump and they showed it by him getting only 27% of the primary vote.

    We know 242 electoral votes are a lock for the democrats. They get Texas and it's Over.. no swing state needed!

    There's wishful thinking and there's reality such as demographics. These will come back to haunt you come november as the democrats just have to stop making major gaffe's.. Trump is doing all the work for the dems ensuring the democratic victory.

  7. Don't go all crazy and bring Bernie into this. This is the powerful Wall Street brokers and their bought and paid for lap dogs in DC fighting Trump. This has nothing to do with Democrats.

    Try to remember what the topic is.

    Cheers.

    The topic is Romney on why he thinks Trump is a danger for America's future.. maybe you need to glance at it again.

    Romney IS a wealthy and powerful member of the Wall Street class. He's being the front man. This is the wealthy and powerful elite including Romney grasping at maintaining their privileged positions.

    IMHO this will just fire up the Trump supporters even more because this is why people are supporting him. It's the year of the outsider.

    You're right about the low information voters but the high information voters and there's a lot of them in the age of the iphone will think twice.

  9. Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.)" Don't 'stifle' voters"
    March 03, 2016, 04:09 pm
    “Here’s my message to the Republican Party leaders: Focus more on listening to the American people and less on trying to stifle their voice," Corker said Thursday in a statement.
    Corker's comments come as establishment Republicans are stepping up their criticism of Donald Trump in an attempt to slow the GOP presidential front-runner's momentum. Trump won seven out the 11 states holding Republican primary elections on Super Tuesday, including Corker's home state.

    What a joke they are..

    I seem to remember Palin saying Obama consorted with William Ayers (domestic terrorists).

    And then they want to vote for a candidate that openly supports bombing churches and committing terrorism like the KKK.

    I'm not surprised that the deep south would vote for this guy.. didn't they have to edit out Kirk kissing Uhura not too long ago because it was too much against their bigoted beliefs?

    What in the world are you on? This isn't about Palin or anyone supporting the KKK. This is about an attempted theft of the rights of the people by the powerful people in DC. The people are coming out in record numbers to refute the corrupt status quo and that's all you can come up with?

    The theft of the rights of the people are in Bernie's camp.

    Remember Bernie $15 an hour minimum wage.

    Trump: Wages are too high.. they need to go down and you need to work even harder.

    Sounds to me like Trump's camp is bigotry and racism period which is why Romney is calling him out.

  10. I don't like Trump. He's too arrogant and his style sucks IMO.

    But seeing as these 2 (typical Republican politicians?) are bad-mouthing him, I'm taking a new look.

    Maybe Trump IS the answer we are looking for, for change in Washington.

    And yes, I do vote.

    In response to these..

    Sadly I think we're on the verge of a second civil war and the GOP realizes it.

    The trump fans/ racist/ xenophobes will never accept defeat come November but if they win.. we can look forward to ethnic cleansing (the kind that was carried out by Hitler) and I'm not kidding about that.

    Look at what he says in different pieces..

    1. eminent domain to take lands,

    2. blacks (BLM) are the enemy,

    3. waterboarding,

    4. mexicans,

    5. asians,

    6. walls,

    7. deportation squads,

    8. not being nice,

    9. anchor babies not being citizens,

    10. take take take for america.

    11. killing families of enemies of America.

    Connect the dots.

    losing homes to eminent domain, deportations and waterboarding, etc. We've already had plenty of islamophobic assaults on people that weren't muslim or terrorists.

    Do you really think they'll spare innocents or the constitution will matter to a guy like him running on cleansing America from undesirables such as _________ (fill in the blank.. pretty much).

    A vote for Trump might haunt us more than a vote for the establishment. And they'll never have enough votes to impeach him once he becomes President. Romney realizes this and knows civil war is something no one wants except the nutjobs who want ethnic cleansing like the KKK and Trump is their champion.

    Sorry, this is nut job stuff, straight off a space ship. I'm not going to take those on one at a time because they are either untrue or out of context. Your conclusion is just plain out there.

    Cheers.

    Nope, it's out of reality because you can see the results at Trump rallies of people getting beat up, spit on, urinated on, Seig Heil, Hail Hitler.

    And the saddest part is I don't even have to show proof, just a google search provides it LOL.

    It's no one else, it's your guy Trump and you're welcome to him.. that much we're sure about. I'm enjoying the popcorn watching the GOP self destruct.
    Remember not voting for Trump is an insult to white heritage.. Romney sees this travesty ending in a civil war and he's deeply patriotic so he said something.
