He won't walk back the wall because, if you forget for a minute whether it works is relevant, it's a huge makework/national-identity jobs creator and it gives him an excuse to slap tariffs on Mexico and call the benefits of NAFTA into question.

I want the wall and I don't care if it keeps out a single illegal.

Exactly. Nominate someone who isn't Trump, and the GOP loses its legitimacy as an advocate for conservatives. Conservatives spoke!

This Cruz news is perfect. Before it was just Reince and Paul Ryan saying "we'll bend the knee if you just promise to leave our party platform alone". Trump could have gone for that, I doubt he'd care about the differences. But if Trump gets wind that the party platform is now something that Lyin' Ted is trying to steal from him he's going to be way more willing to go scorched earth.

Hillary, for everything else that she is, doesn't have that problem. I've never once seen her lose her cool in a debate, nor have I ever really seen her even stumble over her words in an answer the way Obama did. If she gets on the same stage as Trump, she will goad him into doing something stupid--and because he's Trump, he will take the bait and say something hideously offensive.

Haha lets watch everything Trump says and does and try to criticize it all smugly

quote:

In a fiery, disjointed speech in New Hampshire on Monday, Donald Trump angrily denounced the attacks in Orlando, political correctness, immigration, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and the American Muslim community.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee reiterated his call for an indefinite ban on immigration from Muslim countries, and asserted that the president would be empowered to establish such a ban on his own. “The immigration laws of the United States give the president the power to suspend entry into the country of any class of persons that the president deems detrimental to the interests or security of the United States, as he deems appropriate,” Trump said. That’s an unusually expansive view of executive power on immigration, building on President Obama’s own actions, which many conservatives have criticized as overreach.

His assertion of power was one of several striking moments in the speech, which Trump read sometimes unsteadily from a teleprompter, occasionally ad-libbing interjections. (Although he has given a few such speeches in recent days, he has still not quite found his rhythm, nor have his speechwriters found a way to write in a way that mimics his distinctive voice.) In a vague line, he demanded that President Obama “release the full and complete immigration histories of all individuals implicated in terrorist activity of any kind since 9/11,” without differentiating those cleared of any involvement.

He also delivered a thinly veiled threat to American Muslim communities, accusing them of sheltering terrorists in their midst. “We have to form a partnership with our Muslim communities. We have Muslim communities in this country that are great,” he said, but added: “They have to work with us. They have to cooperate with law enforcement. They have to turn in the people who they know are bad. They have to turn them in, and they have to turn then in forthwith ... They know what’s going on.”

quote:

Trump’s speech was light on policy, suggesting a belief that if he repeated the phrase “radical Islam” frequently enough, it would solve the problem. While he complained that Obama and Clinton were unwilling to recognize terrorism, he himself put forward no plan for how to counter it, other than attempting to prevent would-be terrorists from entering the United States. (Clinton’s proposals have also been laughably vague.) He did not propose any specific steps for countering ISIS, saying only that he would “have an attorney general, a director of national intelligence, and a secretary of defense who will know how to fight the war on radical Islamic terrorism,” and that NATO should focus more on terrorism.

quote:

The idea the president is a Manchurian candidate, a mole or agent for jihadism is a stunning accusation, even by the standard of a presidential campaign in which Trump has delivered a series of breathtaking statements, from comparing a rival to a child molester to being unable and unwilling to differentiate one of his policy ideas from Nazi policies.

He's 6 ft 3, he's going to be looking down at pipsqueak Hillary the whole time. And it's gonna be embarrassing for her folks. She actually has to debate someone other than Breadline "Fugget about da' drat Emails" Bernie.

If it was a sheriff star, then Trump deleting the tweet is proof positive that Trump's campaign is now run by the forces of political correctness, and that PC is so important to his donor-run campaign versus when he was self-funded and independent.

Makes you wonder what other major facets of Trump are compromised.
