    Is this his first plan on any single issue? I guess that's good he's finally documenting a plan albeit this seems very light. I do like the fact that he laid out how he's going to attempt to force Mexico pay for "the wall". I'm not sure how Mexico can afford billions though. The other policies seem to be heavy on incarceration/deportation. Overall, like most politician election plans, Trump's immigration policies don't remotely come close to paying for themselves.

    Reading through the plan, there is a lot about enforcement including increasing ICE officer volume. Of course, he'd use them to ride along on "street gang" raids. There isn't any mention of policing corporate use of illegal immigrants other than a national e-verify push which is already in place albeit optional for small businesses.

    Generally, I think Glen Beck is a colossal blowhard like most radio talkshow hosts. However, I think he asks a fair question. Where is the conservatism in Trump's policy positions, and why are some prominent conservatives supportive of him (Limbaugh, Coulter, Hannity)?

    He likes single payer.
    He supports preserving Social Security and Medicare in their current forms.
    He supports a one-time wealth tax.
    He was a social liberal until he ran for President.

    Some of these are policy positions that are too far Left for many Democrats to embrace. Other than on the border, I don't see much conservatism in him, and even that is more nationalistic than conservative. In fact, the candidate in the race who's closest to Trump on economic issues is probably Bernie Sanders.

    What this tells me is that Limbaugh, Coulter, and Hannity are driven more by Trump's truculence and attitude than by real conservative principles. Just act like an *******, and they'll like you.

    I think the Left is just as worried about Trump as the Republicans.

    Dem. State Sen. José Menéndez of San Antonio proved that Godwin's Law is true by comparing Donald Trump to Hitler yesterday. He said Trump's popularity parallels Hitler's rise to power and, of course, the innocent Mexican illegals are the "Jews" at which Trump is taking aim. He also blamed a couple of synagogue desecrations on the "xenophobia currently infecting the country" that is inspired by Trump. What a dumbass.

    Not sure what that has to do with Trump, but no, it's not good. And what are you doing up so late?

    oops. just got back from moving a bunch of stuff out of my latest rental remodel. been working on it all summer and it is finally about ready to roll. too bad it wasn't ready a month or so ago but it still should be fine.

    I thought it was a reply to the Texas Rangers thread. Guess I had two browsers open. Looks like Trump might pay extra for rump Rangering?

    I agree with Wilson about Trump and his voters being dumb. However, he's acting like a dumbass with the rape thing.

    Also, when did it become socially acceptable for commentators like Wilson to use foul language in the public arena? It's one thing if we drop an f-bomb on an anonymous internet forum, but if I was speaking to a reporter about a case I was handling, I wouldn't use foul language. I would have considered that unprofessional.

    Well, from what I understand Hillary's server scandal is far worse than what Petraeus was found guilty of.... and hell, there are still new damaging facts being uncovered in Hillary's debacle.

    It's unconscionable that Hillary used a private email address/server in this day and age of data security. In fact, I'd say the same for any SOS since the mid-2000's who appear to have made this a common practice. It shows just how out of touch they all were with modern technology threats. I don't for a moment believe the line that she simply wanted to simplify her life by having a single email account. When your SOS you don't get that privilege. Either you are OK with your private affairs being part of the public record or you carry 2 devices/accounts.

    She didn't do it because she's out of touch with technology. Even if she was, the State Department has an army of technology specialists who advised her as well as the rest of the Department on this type of issue. People who are simply out of touch with technology don't even think to get their own server. They just sign up for a gmail account.

    The reason she did this is because she wanted to be able to control what information and correspondence related to her SoS work could become public. Is she hiding something specific? Maybe, maybe not, but the point is that she wanted the ability to hide things, and no one will be able to prove it either way.

    Classic Clinton behavior.

    New poll in North Carolina
    Check out #2, he's growing
    http://abc11.com/947054/

    "RALEIGH (WTVD) -- Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump's lead continues to grow in North Carolina, according to a poll released Wednesday by liberal-leaning Public Policy Polling but it's the surprise inclusion of an independent candidate that's turning heads.

    The new PPP poll revealed independent candidate Deez Nuts is polling at 9 percent in the Tar Heel state. Running as an independent from Wallingford, Iowa; population 197, Deez Nuts has gone viral and has a large fan base."

    Correct. Setting up a private mail server isn’t terribly difficult but it is not done by a casual user or without some deliberate intention to isolate email traffic.

    Just to clarify and remove any ambiguities, I am not running, nor am I related to Mr. Nuts. lol

    However, if the race somehow becomes Trump v. Nuts, I'm voting for Nuts.

    Sometimes teenage having teenage boys is helpful to understand pop culture. Meet the start of the Deez Nuts internet meme:



    My son could not confirm if this was the candidate. ;)

    LOL! Trump stole his exit thunder! Trump is truly driving all the dialogue in the Republican primary.

    And he has managed to make Rick Perry look intelligent and sensible, which is a death sentence in a Republican primary.

    Azteca uses Trump to pimp the upcoming USA v. Mexico (CONCACAF) soccer match
    Perhaps the most clever soccer tv commercial of all time

    Didn't Trump say he "loves women and they love him" and that he "has a lot of respect for women". LOL!

    I'm pretty sure Deez Nuts came from Dr. Dre back in the early 90's

    Yes, he did say that. He respects women the way you respect a stripper. It gets weaker the more she talks, and it lasts no longer than a bad Motley Crue song.
