Thank You, Mr. Trump, by Robert Gore
There has been no shortage of commentators pointing out these facts—for years, even decades—but by definition, even if their audiences were in the millions they were “fringe.” Back in late 2014, immigration reform—a “path to citizenship,” de facto amnesty, and meaningless promises of tighter border security—was the prevailing mantra, chanted by both parties’ candidates, endorsed by all right-thinking pundits as necessary to secure the increasingly important Latino vote (support from Republicans was paradoxical—most immigrants vote for Democrats). There would be no immigration issue because dissenting views were marginalized or suppressed, and the “solution” to the problem was a done deal regardless of who was elected.
Then Donald Trump called Mexican immigrants rapists and proposed building a wall at the border, funded by Mexico. The epithet and proposal were outrageous, but the concerns of millions of Americans had been ignored or dismissed as racist and xenophobic. It took something outrageous to get those concerns on the table and force the Cloud People to pay attention. They did so not out of any solicitude for the unwashed, the Dirt People, but because Trump jumped to the top of the polls. Immigration will be a front burner issue through the general election, and attacks on Trump supporters by Mexican-flag-waving thugs will only help his cause. He doesn’t even have to say: “What did I tell you?” It’s implied.

I appreciate the advise on the search methods. So R +D = total money of all types to pay for the Government Party's biannual charade. I think the left costs too much for what they produce or rather don't produce. No wonder they believe in zero sum gain.

Do not forget to sort through every super pac as well as direct donations to the candidate themselves.
Total all donations, donations to all candidates with an R, then those with a D, the use basic division.R = GOP and D= Democrat.
This will take you some time since you have to do each year seperately. Then while you are at it, go to each candidate, like Harry Reid, and sort each year dating back decades, and see how many contributions you see from Trump or Trump organization to him or Hillary and the quantities or total dollar amounts. You will find Ted Cruz was lying through his teeth with his claims, especially when it comes to Harry Reid.
That would be defined as empirical.
It isn't the USA anymore and hasn't been unless you are old enough to predate Woodrow Wilson.. It's a progressive cancer waiting to take full control of a carcass.
It isn't Hamiltonian or Jeffersonian anymore it isn't any kind of American Dream unless your dreams were after a round of heavy Marxism and too much vodka.
It isn't 640 acres a mule and a plow or 100 and a cabin in the woods nor a a one acre housing lot with it's own 'in the city' garden plot, nor even a quarter acre with room for a one car garage, It's tin can houses stacked within arms reach yet costing more than the the home of The Beaver. or Ozzie and Harriet.
People aren't asked to vote for a bright future or a with some degree of hope but for a choice of degrees of despair and only the very young, innocent, and naive would think otherwise.
I'm of a mind today to liken the country as a whole to an oil field in Colorado. The residents finally shrugging and the whole waiting for the inevitable spark. The sign reads Here it is as I found it as the landscape burns horizon to horizon and ocean to ocean. And still those who think let's vote for so and so and he will slow the drift to the left as the vote for same old same old nothing new old give us another chance old - tired - useless - tinder.
And let's not forget the Polly Anna's Every time I hear them or read something they wrote I want to jack slap the crap out their empty heads as they offer move on nothing here to look at.
Turn out the light? No the last one should give the country a decent burial and put up a new sign. It's yours, leave it as you made it. Now live with it and deal with it.
We're at Left Over Station the end of the line. My watch the flock scatter, hunt and peck looking for some scratchings and finding only cinders.
I think I'll move down to free north America and prepare the next wave of immigrants. Plow, burro, and an appetite for work not excuses.
North America is there turn now.
As for me I'm sitting in a falapa quite near to Yelapa and find it more pleasing than a condo in Redondo.

I wonder if the following web sight is correct about crime?:

If so, native born citizens need some improvement.

new anguish. . the current process is much the same! -- j

From the interviews I have watched of Trump over the last 30 years that is a false claim.

Trump raised and endorsed Romney, raised millions for him.
www.fec.gov show empirically that over 40 years over 80% of any campaign contributions went to GOP.
I believe there is much in what you say. It has gotten to the point where people would burn the house to the ground rather than see it further defaced and dishonored by the establishment. It is much like a messy divorce. We have irreconcilable differences.
Respectfully,
O.A.
have tried the nice way -- quiet voting, the tea party --
and that didn't work. . DT will shake things up. -- j

No matter how much you "want" something, you do not have the right to use force to achieve it, nor ask others to use force in your stead. Barring entry is a form of force as surely as punching someone in the face is.
