Thoughts on the Donald?

[hitch0403]

I've said it before but we really need a guy in there that says what he thinks and means what he says. Enough with the political dancing from candidates these days.

We did a little over 2000 yrs ago by a KING,NOT some poor babe in a manger in a cow stall!!

2. What is the only solution to mankind’s problems?
2 What is the solution? God’s Kingdom, for which Jesus taught his followers to pray: “Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.” (Matthew 6:9, 10) God’s heavenly Kingdom is described at 2 Peter 3:13 as the “new heavens,” which is to rule over the “new earth,” that is, righteous human society. So important is God’s heavenly Kingdom that Jesus made it the focus of his preaching. (Matthew 4:17) He showed the place that it should have in our lives, urging: “Keep on, then, seeking first the kingdom and his righteousness.”—Matthew 6:33.

Has anyone noticed that for all the political bashing he got, and saying that it's unconstitutional, about the immigration policy he suggested (don't allow any Muslims into country until we find out what's going on), that it is simply not true?

It is proper and constitutional to prohibit whom we wish to be prohibited for whatever reason.

“This is called the plenary power doctrine,” he continued. “The court has repeatedly turned away challenges to immigration statutes and executive actions on grounds that they discriminate on the basis of race, national origin, and political belief, and that they deprive foreign nationals of due process protections.”

But any honest answer to a journalist’s question about whether Trump’s plan to ban Muslim immigration is unconstitutional should start with the plenary powers doctrine, and observe that it would be an uphill battle to persuade the Supreme Court to abandon a century of precedent.”

“Over here, everybody in the establishment in the political class, Republican, Democrat, media, you name it, is all claiming that what Trump said is dumb, stupid, reckless, dangerous, unconstitutional, while it is the law of the land. And it was utilized by Jimmy Carter, no less, in 1979 to keep Iranians out of the United States, but he actually did more. He made all Iranian students already here check in, and then he deported a ton of ‘em,” he said.

“There is precedent for everything Donald Trump has said he wants to do. And if you listen to the wizards of smart in this country and our political establishment, you will think that this stuff is just unheard of, it’s almost unspeakable, it’s just indecent. Here we have in the establishment the reputed best and brightest, the smartest. We’re not even qualified to be in their company no less. And they’re dunces on this.”

From the same article: “Not everything that is stupid or offensive is unconstitutional,” he said."

From http://www.politifact.com/georgia/article/2015/dec/11/donald-trump-proposes-banning-muslims-coming-us-di/

"Carter acted against Iranian nationals, not an entire religion.'

"The difference is that Iranians were citizens of, and owed allegiance to, a country that was acting against the United States," said Kermit Roosevelt, a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania. "The class of ‘all Muslims’ has no similar connection to ISIS or terrorists. That makes the analogy seriously flawed."

"Carter was ratcheting up diplomatic pressure in a fairly traditional process of crisis management."

"Carter’s actions are best understood in the context of a traditional conflict with a nation-state, something that doesn’t exist in the environment now shaping Trump’s proposal."

"Carter acted after the Iranian government accepted and defended the action by militants who stormed our embassy in Tehran and took our diplomats hostage," said David Martin, a University of Virginia law professor who has written extensively about immigration law. "It was a classic, major, state-to-state confrontation, based on a flagrant violation of diplomatic immunity. Carter invoked a host of counter-measures long recognized as appropriate under international law."

Trump is the Southern Strategy come to life, and blatant with it.

Some things worry me about Donald Trump.  He seems to jump right in without thinking things through sometimes but he'd surely be better than what we have.  I don't agree on something with each of the candidates except maybe Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina.  I like Chris Christie except for his stupid stand on global warming.  Climate is always changing.

Donald Trump definitely speaks before he thinks. But I will not lie. He is saying the things that many candidates (and other Americans) are probably thinking. This is not to say that I concur with a lot of what he says (because many of his contentions are pretty impractical). I cannot help but think that his campaign for president is a publicity stunt. He will always be known as the guy on The Celebrity Apprentice that states emphatically "You're Fired!"

[gsdoss]

I think he is an idiot

[king4cash]

I think he will make a great president...the sooner the better....

[Screwedupclick4life337]

You said it all the money has gone to his head

[danmo783]

He's all talk. I really loved Rand Paul, but he is outside the establishment and isn't a publicity clown... I see most people as liars. I don't think Bernie Sanders is a liar, but frankly he is too out there and doesn't seem to understand math.

I'm moderately conservative and I like Marco Rubio, but he flip-flops. I don't know what to think. Ben Carson is brutally honest and I respect that, but I think he's more fitting for a cabinet position myself...

[elvisdo]

Sometimes I think we are all not in on the joke yet and this is all a big reality show program he has instigated. I feel as though we are going to get punk'd sometime soon.

[sfreeman8]

I'm not a fan, but I do think he's amusing. The quotation on the Daily Cash Email seems to fit:
"The smaller the mind, the greater the conceit."
-- Aesop

I don't find him amusing. i find him pretty nasty and not fit for public office. The Aesop quote fits him very well.  I am so surprised that he has such a large support group but then again, they are mostly angry at the way this administration has been changing our country. 

I can only hope that those supporters wake up soon or we will be in a world of trouble. He has always been a Democratic party supporter and always donated to that party along with being friends with Hillary and Bill and Michael Bloomberg. He has given to the Republican party but in smaller amounts.

I don't believe he ever became a Republican. I still think he's a shill for the Democratic party, to keep the serious candidates from becoming a nominee. He acts like he's looking for a way to bow out of the Republican party and run independently with his threats but he knows he can't because of his supporters.

I am all in for the Donald for President,,,lets make america great again...

The way the news media acts sometimes, one might think he is already president. Very strange.

The news media is there for one purpose only, to sell news so it attracts more advertisiers. That is where the MONEY is and it is all about money, not serving you.

The news media is in the pocket of politicians. They pick the one they like and run with it. How many times has Trump gotten free "advertising"  from the media through his phone calls to the shows or interviews?  At least once a day, but usually every single station has a news story every day.

I've gotten to the point where I change the channel because I'm sick of hearing about him. He's an arrogant, ignorant, egotistical, blowhard. Never liked him before and don't like him now. 

The way he attacks the other candidates is despicable. Yet, if they say anything or PROVE anything he said or did was wrong, he blows his stack and calls them stupid, dumb, full of hate, or a dope.  He can't stand the truth.

He has turned the debates into a circus. The only way to learn anything about the other candidates is to go to their websites and read their solutions, read their biographies on neutral sites (like Biography.com or bio.dom)

One I use is www/ontheissues.org. It has all the issues and links to their past and present issues.

Sorry, that's enough of my vent on the Trumpster except to say I hope people wake up soon! LOL

[Smudgyglasses]

Maybe if he's elected that will push more people to the radical left? That's the only advantage I can see from him being elected.

[o2bnocn]

I actually think America needs him. Just an opinion though.

[aguirre1055]

its getting scary to think that he's actually got a chance to win this at first it was a joke or seemed to be at least now its like wake up people this man can actually ruin this country even more
