The Ivytalk / Chizzang: Trump Takes the Gold thread

[Ivytalk]

Cruz absolutely gutted Trump in last night's debate, and Rubio got in some solid uppercuts. Kasich came off as a prissy schoolmarm.

Yeah, it was everything they could possibly throw at Trump last night. I haven't watched a lot of debates so I was surprised when they (the moderators) had visual evidence to produce right after Trump would answer something (I don't think they did it with any other candidate). That was full on establishment last night doing everything they could think of to knock Trump down. It sounds like they are close to going nuclear and throw the election by barring Trump's nomination at the convention if he gets that far and isn't automatically there.

3) Illegals. Yeah, I support kicking them out. Obama's been doing it at a record pace (not fast enough)...has the economy collapsed? Have the Dems turned on Obama? Has the world burned down? Nope. Secure our borders and fix our immigration policy. I am all for immigration..but I am not for an open border. Why is that so hard for some people to comprehend?

Not true. During Obama's 1st term his admin were counting immigrants caught on the border and immediately (within 24 hrs) returned, called "voluntary returns" as deportations when past administrations hadn't counted the voluntary returns as deportations. It made the stats look like Obama was deportating at a record pace when in fact deportations were way down, and Obama falesely got nicknamed "deporter in chief"
I'm going to go KYJelly on you with some charts. This one goes through FY 13. The red is the voluntary returns that weren't counted under prior admin. The orange is the interior removals- the actual "deportations"

This one through FY15'. Deportations were down for 4 straight years.
Deportations under Obama plummet during second term

As far as the rest of that long post, I pretty much agree. Carry on..

Uh, no. I didn't know who she was...and after Googling her, I still don't know, or care, what she thinks, and I do not know what kind of influence she has on anyone's thinking. Frankly, why would anyone would pay attention to her? Was she elected to office at some time (I didn't bother to read the wiki article)? If not, then why would I care about her opinion on anything?

You know, I just tried to watch the news for the first time in a while to see how the Super Duper Tuesday was going, and my TV reminded me that I do not get FOX, MSNBC, Al Jitz, or something called America One.

It appears that I only get CNN and CNBC. After 45 minutes of swapping back and forth between those two stations, it is glaringly obvious that they are meant for entertainment. Their coverage pf Super Tuesday consisted of attacking Trump. NOTHING was mentioned about Clinton/Sanders except a small blurb about her standing up to the pharmaceuticals.

I gave up watching...that was truly a weird experience. And if the average 'Merican is watching those two shows, or anything similar on either side of the spectrum, and forming their opinion based upon those shows, then it explains a lot about where we stand as a nation.

So no, I don't know Ann Coulter...and I don't give a crap about her. And, immigration is not my top priority...not sure where in God's name, or Ann Coulter's name, you got that from.

I do, however, have questions about why limiting illegal immigration is a topic that blows people's minds. I asked honest questions...and instead of thoughtful answers, I got knee jerk, emotionally based responses. It appears that you, not I, have been conditioned by some public figure(s). That is a shame...I would have preferred a reasoned response.

Methinks thou doth protest too much....

Sorry, but I don't know her. I know you guys watch a lot of TV, but I don't. So how the heck am I supposed to know someone from that realm?

Funny, I hear people talk about the latest and greatest sitcoms, and I have no clue about what they are talking about. They name an actor, and I haven't heard of the person, their show, or their character. It has been like that for decades. I just don't watch TV and I couldn't care less about what some celebrity thinks.

No biggie...but don't accuse me of lying when I haven't heard of someone and I don't know what they stand for.

Well, then, Iconocluck, you shouldn't care what Trump "thinks"!

If Ann Coulter runs for office, maybe I will be concerned about her thoughts.

I have never watched an Ann Coulter interview but I know very well who she is. She's a Glenn Beck.

I don't know who Glen Beck is.

Googled him. TV and radio guy. Never saw or heard him. I don't feel empty...should I?

Am I any less of a human being?

or how much legitimate noise a self avowed socialist made in the dem primaries

I'd say both parties are precisely what they have been historically accused of being
