Trump is going to steal everything back from the Chinese including their brutal totalitarian regime.

Please, please make this thread title happen.

This needs to happen. Also, :wow:

at Trump's statement. It's deeply unnerving to me that this man is the frontrunner of one of the two major political parties, and that if he gets the nomination he is just one scandal / disaster / recession away from taking the presidency.

I'm making the conscious decision to not get too worked up about it during the primaries, but if he gets the nomination I'm going to be drinking a lot of scotch during the general election.

A quick google search tells me that in 2012 the gold ol' USA had 67,000,000 foreign visitors.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm voting Carson- the only candidate guaranteed to end unemployment in our great nation! Every last citizen will be needed to keep an eye on the foreign hordes.

My only hope is that I'm rich enough so that even as a gay black man I can avoid the worst of it. Also I bought a Trump hat months ago since i assumed he would be a joke candidate, so that'll look good if they start running the list of undesirables against their donor database.

You might have a problem with the whole being "gay" thing, but Trump seems to be only targeting mexicans and muslims so far so you should be fine... for now at least.

Seriously though, how far can he go and still be the front runner? Can he denounce women's suffrage or reveal a new logo of a red octopus on a black background or something and still be on top of the GOP?

theblackw0lf: Apr 15, 2003; "...creating a vision of the sort of society you want to have in miniature"

I know it's been said before but I think this might actually be what starts the derailment of Trump's candidacy.

For most of his outlandish statements, supporters would either agree, or would say that Trump was being misinterpreted, something Trump himself would often say.

But this time it's crystal clear in that statement what he means. And I just have a hard time believing the majority of Republican voters, or even a large minority, actually want to block all Muslims from coming into the country.

Then again maybe I'm just naively hopeful that Republican voters aren't that incredibly xenophobic.

someone hasn't checked the usual suspects on Twitter yet.

Or Breitbart.

Or Erick Erickson.

Yeah, it's 100% unmistakable what he wants, and a worrying chunk of the GOP voter base is cheering him on at the top of their lungs.

I'm guessing you didn't see that video of the town hall meeting where the white guy got up and shouted "you all are terrorists. I don't care what you say. Shut up. You're wrong" at the Lebanese business developer then?

Honestly? Our guys are Walker evil...evil and lovely to the core but still too dumb to play with the big dogs. Pence can't make Indiana go full-Kansas without pissing off a lot of huge businessmen who are on "barge into your office and scream at you" terms with him, and his most recent anti-gay bill is largely damage control thanks to suburbs giving him the finger and passing local ordinances protecting LGBT rights, so it earns him no brownie points.

And then go out and talk with their constituents, who are upset at how weak and moderate the elected officials are.

Trump managed to destabilize and shakeup the Republican political establishment so much that he made Bill Kristol right about something.
