Not at all. Mexico will pay and staff the wall, to keep their Tariff from being too high.

That's one way to make Mexico to pay for the wall, but you forgot about the other obvious choice, which is to require a hefty fee from anyone legally immigrating from Mexico or Central or South America.

Ironman says

We weren't talking about OTHER nationalities, we were discussing Mexico. But in usually TATTY form, when proven wrong, just change up the discussion to something different. You're the ultimate Strawman!!

We weren't talking about anything as I was posting to Thunder.

Also--I would love for him to scrap NAFTA. The shitstorm that would cause in DC would be fun to watch.

C'mon Tatupu, pull the lever for Trump if Bernie doesn't win. You KNOW Hillary would never dare (or want), even if it was clear the President could abrogate treaties without Congress.

Now for the post-Nevada Glenn Beck report... I might be exaggerating a bit, but it really ain't all that far off from what he said....

"If you look at ferret-owning, Nevada voters between the ages of 27y 3mos and 31y 6mos, Cruz is the TRUE AND CLEAR winner in Nevada... and Trump lost, folks! It's just that simple. In a head-to-head race, Cruz wins over Trump."

Seriously, Beck is rapidly losing his marbles...

on edit:
"The vast majority of trump supporters don't give a shit about policy."

Bullshit! Nobody cares more about Policy than me, and I love his stance on negotiating these bullshit

Trump stomped all over Becks picnic...

Cruz voters are the kind of sniveling Dominionist Freaks who hate their own freedom and yearn for John Calvin to rule them and save them from having to make morality and life choices. I mean that without exaggeration.

Cruz voters ... hate their own freedom and yearn for John Calvin to rule them

You mean “Americans"?

Okay, I have the funniest Establishment "prediction" of all.

Bwahahahahahahahahaha

Trump has repeatedly stiffed contractors/vendors, sued many former business associates to void contracts, frittered away any influence he once had among New York City's developers, and defaulted on so many bank loans that there are few left who are stupid enough to lend to him.

But he is a friend to the common man, and would never break any promises to someone like me!

Not to mention the Trump University scam that he's about to go to trial on...

It's all relative

And this coming on the tail end of eight years of Obama. After eight years of Bush. With a Senate that has a 9% approval rating.

Mr Trump had that tv show we liked to watch him fire people. And he ain't one of them, so by default, he's one of us

A vote for Trump is exactly the same as Richard Pryor NONE OF THE ABOVE

Hillary campaigned around the country for Bill's slashed housing budgets and near doubling of the federal prison budget. Her remarks in the Welfare Reform era is dogwhistling on race to the max. When she was campaigning for Goldwater, Bernie was getting arrested for fighting segregation. Yet the corrupt Black Caucu$ endorses Hillary.

As for Trump, nobody runs multi-billion dollar businesses with hundreds of companies and investment vehicles and god knows how many tens of thousands of contracts for everything from usage of IP to steel girders to tile floors without legal battles. If this spin was true, then his record is perfect for abrogating NAFTA, GATT, and WTO. If he does nothing but abrogate treaties left and right, Congress will not be able to pass them again and his Presidency will be a success.

Hillary called her most supportive base of black voters "Lazy" and "Super Predators" throughout the 90s during the Welfare Reform era.

http://nypost.com/2016/02/23/reason-for-record-republican-voter-turnout-trump/

"GOP contests in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina have drawn more than 1.2 million voters, up 24 percent over 2012...

In sharp contrast, the showdown between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders has drawn just 510,000 voters, down 21 percent from the last contested Democratic primaries in 2008."

and everyone knows that the Nevada turnout only added to that HUGE lead.

Plenty do, and still have friends in town. Plenty also do not routinely refuse to pay for services rendered, whereas Trump is known for being an unreliable account.

Whatever Hillary says or does has no bearing on the facts about Trump.

I am aware that Trump is known to hate immigrants more than Hillary - although you seem to believe she hates minorities, which for some reason hurts her in your eyes, though if Trump said those things it would only enhance his aura.

Have you so internalized the GOP talking points about Hillary that Trump is off- limits to criticism? Can't they both suck?

Trump secured ~35k votes in Nevada, or am I looking at the wrong things

That's hardly data upon which to draw any grand conclusion over, in a nation of 330 million

Trump wants to carpet bomb isis
The Clintons are literally in bed with The bank of ISIS

They can both be pieces of shit, but gun to your head, how could anyone vote for the rotund and hairy, menopausal piece of shit. (Hilary not trump, in case that wasn't clear ;)

I don't think Hillary hates minorities, but she is happy to dogwhistle whites on black crime and defending the slashing of affordable housing and massively expanding the prison complex.

HydroCabron says

Yes - they can both suck. My school-prison pipeline and welfare reform dogwhistling criticism against Hillary was coming from the Left, not the Right.

When you see it....

Hey Thunder. When I first looked at your picture, I couldn't figure out what was wrong with her right boob. it seemed a bit misshapen. And then I'm thinking... and why are her boobs right under her chin? Talk about a breast lift gone wrong! And then, I realized I was looking at her right shoulder.... and it all made sense again.

Trump gets first lawmaker endorsements

GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump has secured his first two endorsements from members of Congress following his big win Tuesday in Nevada's caucuses.

Reps. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.) and Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) on Wednesday both endorsed Trump, who looks increasingly likely to become the party's nominee.

Trump has struggled to win support from officeholders, who have been reluctant to embrace the man who has shaken up the GOP presidential race like no one before him.

Not a single member of Congress had endorsed Trump before his win in Nevada, though this week has seen a flurry of endorsements for Marco Rubio, who has yet to beat Trump in any contest.

Collins complimented Trump's policies on national security and trade in announcing his endorsement.

Trump within 1 of Cruz in Texas poll

Cruz has 29 percent support in Texas, followed closely by Trump, at 28 percent, and Marco Rubio, at 25 percent, according to an Emerson College poll released Wednesday. John Kasich takes 9 percent support, with Ben Carson at 4 percent.

Great. Just reported on @FoxNews that many people who supported @JebBush are now supporting me. I knew that would happen, pundits didn't!

It's going to be very difficult to vote for someone who falls for the conspiracy nut theories(Obama's birth certificate), repeats email forwards as if they are true (dipping bullets in pigs blood), etc., and has an ego the size of Texas. A lot of it is a charade, certainly, but all of it?

While I like some of his policies and I definitely enjoy voting outside the establishment--I'm not sure I can pull the lever for Trump.

Interesting, the tX folks were panicking saying 500k votes were already in and probably support Cruz. I wonder if there are some early polls-looks like Trump is gaining steam, wonder if he can take TX?

Tat, you will be able to pull that lever after you see and remember more of the IHL and she's on TV/Radio daily after August.

Sounds like he's qualified for washington...
Thanks for the validation.

I cant wait to see the final battle.

The Trump video game would be awsome, if not have an awkward soundtrack.

You guys ready?

Man isn't even President yet, and already China is getting nervous their one-way trade gravy train is about to end.

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told reporters in Beijing that “we are following with interest the U.S. presidential election.”

Hua was asked about China’s response to a possible Trump presidency and his announced plan to punish China for currency manipulation with a tax on Chinese goods.

“Since it belongs to the domestic affair of the U.S., I am not going to make comments on specific remarks by the relevant candidate,” she said.

“But I want to stress that China and the U.S., as world’s largest developing and developed countries, shoulder major responsibilities in safeguarding world peace, stability and security and driving world development,” the spokeswoman added.

“The sustained, sound and steady growth of China-U.S. relations serves the fundamental and long-term interests of the two countries and benefits the world. We hope and believe that the U.S. government will pursue a positive policy toward China in a responsible manner.”

A fair, two-way lower tariff regime is positive. One way trade with a decade-after-decade lopsided import-export ratio is not.

Fucking Alpha, man.

I see the optical illusion you speak of. Tri-tit, hot! I suspect none of the guys on here saw it that way initially. I sure didn't. However, after I complimented thunderlips on that picture I googled Trump's latest wife. As hot as his daughter is and from what I can tell from afar his wife is actually sexier. IMHO of course.

thunderlips11 says

China is getting nervous

I hear last week China put some of their nukes on operational standby. Up until that point only Russia/USSR and the US kept their nukes ready to fire. Everyone else (except perhaps Israel) manages 'fail-safe' by keeping their missiles disassembled. Prevents some lone human from starting a nuclear war that way.

At any rate, now there are 3 nations for the first time in history holding guns to each others heads. Cold war II is warming up...
