[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL, a democrat who is very educated, supports him. She is frustrated with the effects of illegal immigration and also believes he will be able to get things done. [/quote] A lot of Americans are frustrated with illegal immigration (not immigration-just illegal immigration) and feel as if their concerns have been ignored.  Trumps stance (however,ahem, inartfully put) is resonating with people across all classes, races and political persuasions. It speaks to the frustration of the American people with their leaders.[/quote]

It makes me laugh to see all the liberals crapping themselves over Trump's comments.   He is a brilliant man that has amassed $10 billion by playing the system and using the rules to his benefit to win.  Understand this, TRUMP IS TRYING TO WIN THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION, AT THIS TIME, NOT THE GENERAL ELECTION.   Think of it like this, in order to go to the World Series, you have to start your best pitcher in the final game of the playoffs, and therefore may not have him rested for Series which puts you at a disadvantage in the finals.  However, you must risk everything and hold nothing back to win the playoffs because if you lose, you have no opportunity to win it all.  This is Trump now, he is saying what appeals to the frustrated 35% of the Republican base who are rallying around him because no other candidate dares to do it.   The field is large, the "establishment" will splinter the vote and Trump's goal is to capture a plurality in Iowa, NH, and SC.  Then he will have momentum.  If he can eek out the highest vote total in a field of 8-10 in winner take all states, like Florida, then he is on his way to the nomination.  Hillary has shifted to the left to counter Sanders in similar strategy in the Democrat primary  Candidates shift their "extreme" positions mostly to the center in the general elections all the time, because the extremes do not appeal to the independents who swing elections.  I am sure Trump will do so as well to appeal to the greatest majority at that time should he win the nomination.   Again, it is a game and he is using the rules to garner his best chance of winning.  He may be winning ugly, but it is a completely calculated stategy.  So try and take his comments with a grain of salt as they are simply aimed at rallying the base.[/quote]
