I like how we have two pages of people arguing that Trump isn't targeting just Mexican immigrants, and is instead talking about all illegal immigrants, when the tentpole of his platform is building a wall paid for by Mexico to keep out illegal immigrants.

But all these are saying it's correct to call Trump a fascist? Only the last one says that it's silly because people have always acted this evil. There really isn't anything wrong with calling out Trump for running on an extreme racist platform.

I think your short term memory is severely damaged dude, first you told me you weren't talking about elections when you specifically were talking about elections, now this:

I'm arguing that the American Left is going to be too stupid and stubborn to learn from Europe and all of this "people have a problem with the current state of immigration and immigrants are nazis" is only going to give the US the same result, which is basically more nazis.

But we don't have a refugee crisis or flood of people entering? Even if we were getting the record numbers Europe has with our population and resources it would still be a drop in the bucket. Thinking all illegals should be thrown in train cars or camps is a racist position. Especially since the vast majority of them are just exploited workers or people coming here for a better way of life.

Sanders has integrity. If he wins, the Democrats could stop being the spineless jellyfish poo poo party.

But this is not the thread for that.

Democrats don't win because we force candidates to adhere to ideological purity; we win because we mobilize urban areas while also appealing to the realities of rural life with our love of guns, god, and gravy.

My opposition to immigration is environmental. I think the people here should stop fuckin', too. Nothing's more selfish in this age of eating the future than conceiving and having your own child. There's no shortage of children in need of a real home- adoption should pretty much be the only form of immigration. America is a diverse country and should remain so. The wealth of a nation is its people. But as a planet, it's getting devalued because there's just too many of us to have a viable future as a species.

I thought the Georgia Guidestones were right, in principle.

Thinking that illegal immigrants are above the law because they are from the global south is also a racist position, Venom Snake.

Everyone saying this needs to rewatch the whitehouse correspondent's dinner. Its a reimagining of the pigs blood scene from carrie or the flashback in a batman film where the villain snaps. Trump will do anything to give Obama his biggest poo poo eating grin as he has to hand the keys to the whitehouse over.

I think it's quite possible. Nothing like 40% or anything, but he'll probably do better than anyone else has since the Southern Strategy started. I think a lot of black men do love Bill but aren't so wild about Hillary, and not all blacks who live in Hispanic heavy areas see illegal immigrants as nothing more than fellow oppressed minorities. I think he could pull in something like 15-20%, especially after the pivot.

Trump isn't unhinged, though. He's advocating expanding American institutions of government with a message that appeals to the majority of Americans. He's the dream Democratic candidate and should have been on our ticket; unfortunately, ain't no gently caress'n way Hillary's machine would allow it.

the only reason everyone likes trump is because everyone is fed up of years of hearing about how banks/billionaires get away with murder while everyone else gets hosed up the rear end and ripped off. change was tried with obama and it didn't matter. can't fix the system so might as well burn it all down.

Ted Cruz is definitely unhinged, I agree. While he may have the appropriate views in private, he doesn't realize that the divide between the public and private self no longer exists in the social media age. Ted Cruz is his private persona, and when his private positions differ from his public ones, as they so often do, then it only strengthens the narrative that he is an untrustworthy alien who doesn't hold our American values.

The only other candidate I see as truly unhinged is Jeb!. Every other candidate in the R primary is trying to "win their lane," in consultant speak, by best positioning their personal brand within their lane's well-defined limits. Jeb!, he lacks the political experience to realize that his lane is Trump's lane, and the especially skill to exploit it. That's what makes Jeb! so unhinged: he's trying to go for the establishment moderate lane, when every other Bush, from daddy on the Reagan ticket to his brother's faux Texan accent, has won off the coattails of the populist moderate lane.

The Huffington Post has started appending an editor’s note to the bottom of posts about Republican presidential contender Donald Trump, calling him a "racist," a "liar" and a "xenophobe," and reminding readers of his proposal to ban all Muslims from entering the United States.

A Huffington Post spokesperson told POLITICO that the note will be added to all future stories about Trump.

Cruz was talking TARP on Hannity (or O'Reilly I can't remember) and saying it was Obama's bailout. It was a loving Bush administration bailout Jesus Christ at first I was like heh, a living weasel-man but now I'm disgusted with the piece of poo poo on a human level (not solely from this). He talks out both sides of his mouth worse than any other candidate- biggest gay-basher in the running and meeting with gay New York billionaires while making GBS threads on "New York Values".

Some interesting pieces from the PPP poll of Iowa about how supporters of candidates below the threshold might vote in the second round.

"Among IA GOP supporting the 9 also ran candidates, if they had to pick 1 of the top 3: Rubio 35, Cruiz 25, Trump 17"

"If a lot of people supporting single digit candidates move to their next choice in IA, could let Rubio get 20%-25%"

"Supporters of candidates in single digits prefer Cruz to Trump 50/21"
