Were you this outraged when public sector unions were corrupting politicians by financing their campaigns in order to drain public finances that led to numerous municipal bankruptcies, or the ridiculous tenure arrangements that enabled poor teaching at the expense of students? I mean it wasn't that long ago when public sector unions were the #1 corrupting force in money and politics. Surely you were just as passionate about this, Right?

Ok, got ya.

Which would then lead to the court overturning it followed by impeachment proceedings

At what point does the fetus/baby have a right to live? At 20 weeks? 22? 24? When it's out of the womb?

Ironically, a Trump nomination would lead to an even more fiscally liberalized country. Not because what he would do, but because he would get defeated so badly that the GOP would end up losing the house and the Senate. i.e welcome to rainbow farting Utopia.

Looks like Dr. Ben Carson just hopped on the idiot 14th amendment train. !@#$ you Trump!

but, but you have to support the deal, doesn't matter what's in the deal. If you oppose it, you want war and you find common cause with the Ayatollah.

Ahhhh, So that's why you always ask questions like this....GG is another Jedi of the socratic method

David Harsanyi from the Federalist who is a solid conservative by any reasonable standard, nails it.

No, what it means is that she is one shady chick.

He has a 60% approval rating in Ohio and the last poll that came out of Ohio in a matchup vs. Hillary, he crushes her by 7 points. And in the state of New Hampshire, the last poll has him in second in the GOP primaries. Meaning he has some support among Repubs. He's never going to fire up the further end of the right spectrum, because his positions are too moderate which was Romney's problem. But, Kasich can win over much more of the working class repubs that aren't overly ideological, moderates and even some more democrats, simply because you won't be able to paint him as some outsourcing plutocrat that doesn't care for the poor. Plus his position on immigration will attract more Latino's than Romney's. Just because your political foes think Kasich is an alright guy shouldn't affect how you view him. Sure, many of these same liberals are that seem to think Kasich is acceptable will almost undoubtedly vote for Democrat. But the fact that some view him as ok, most likely means that many of those like-minded sort of Reagan Democrats that pulled the lever for Reagan will give an honest look at Kasich. He would be damn tough to beat in the General elections.

Sure, it's not the first bet I've made. Lost the last one to Big Cat. But I'll take that bet.

Right now, which things could change for Hillary for the worse, but if things remained static and no new bomb shell revelations came out and the campaign were to actually begin on a one on one basis. In my view, the candidates most likely to defeat Hillary would be Kasich and Rubio with then Walker, Jeb and Cruz would be the next tier of candidates that would have a legitimate shot at beating her.

Maybe, maybe not. FBI is involved now, and Comey is a career government guy that has a reputation of not being partisan. If you were to tell me that it was only a matter for the Attorney General to review, I'd agree with you. But this matter has gone far beyond that, you have the AG, State Department, various courts, congressional investigations and the FBI investigating into this.

First off, if she doesn't know the term "wiping the server" actually means, then implies two things. A, that she is so out of out of touch with technical terms that it's worthy of laugh lines throughout the country and more importantly, B, that she is so insulated and out of touch with reality, the discussion of her server being wiped has been mentioned ad nauseum throughout the press over the past few days and the fact that no one would even mention to her of this just tells you how woefully inept her overall operation is functioning. More realistically, she knew what they were talking about and she was doing what the Clinton's do best, which is obfuscate, blame, deflect and deceive. And she tried throwing in another lame joke to escape it. In regards to the State Department governmental emails being hacked, yes but it's not her call to choose to have a private email server that isn't even authorized by the government as an approved server. If the government emails get hacked, that's not on her but on the government, so to say that since the government emails get hacked so it doesn't matter what server she uses doesn't absolve her for the responsibility to follow protocol.

He's a big government liberal relative to someone who is inline with Attila the hun. The only shot Kasich has if Jeb continues to lose support. And believe it or not and I know this going to be virtually inconceivable for you, there are people who aren't overly ideological that embrace positions from both sides of the aisle. *Gasp* Shocking! I know.

I like Kasich. I don't what there isn't to like, his positions are reasonable and he is thought of very highly in arguably the most important state. His approval ratings are sky high, great track record and is a budget hawk. Plus he doesn't pander to the right wing base to garner votes like most of the candidates. I don't know about you, but I like candidates that stick to their convictions despite pressure from the base of their party to change their positions, I'm now leaning more towards Kasich, with Rubio as Vp

She was asked the question at least five times and she never answered it not even one time. She knows that they wiped the server, and if they the FBI sees that it had been wiped extensively rather than just a single deletion, then I think that she definitely would be looking to hide something. Bob Woodward seems to think that there is a trail to follow.

Unfortunately, Trump has come out saying that they all have to be deported. And his followers are devoted to King Trump, what he says, goes. And he has spoken, which means that if you don't support deporting all the illegal immigrants, you are a RINO, a sellout, and you don't love America. Because Trump is the only one who gives hope, the rest of the field are a bunch RINO politicians who dare go against King Trump the all omnipotent one, how dare they challenge The Donald. I mean, look at his plan. It's the best plan since the Magna Carta according to the nations most notable nativist, Ann Coulter. Hannity, Levin and Rush are all for this, this train has now left the station, and it's not gonna come back for a while. The fire has been stoked, the damage is beginning to emanate as we are now seeing candidates even top tier ones that are tacking hard right in order to pander to these folks.

Sure, if I ever head that way I'll take you up on that offer. Appreciate it But I'm talking about second generation, not those that were born in another country that came over. It's difficult for people as they get older to pick up and learn a new language, specially when they are living in a homogeneous community of primarily first generation folks, where there co workers, friends and family all speak the same language. It's their kids that are born here that integrate themselves with other English speaking kids at school that learn to speak English. Make no mistake, these first generation folks that are not showing the desire to try to learn the language are only hurting their opportunities, but alot of these people are very simple folks. They had limited educations in their home countries and in all honesty, they just want to come here, work, drink some cerveza, send their kids to school and send a little money to their families/mothers back home. If you've lived in one of these countries, as I have you see that there really aren't that many opportunities to get ahead. That's why a lot of people are desperate to move to the states, because they believe there are more opportunities. Think about it, look at the jobs they take, look at the pay they accept. It beats the alternative of staying in a little pueblo either making next to nothing or not working at all. This way they can at least help their families live a little bit better of a life while providing an American education (which isn't all that great, but beats small town latin american education) for their children.

Every second generation person I know from Mexico or Latin America speaks English fluently.

Yeah, those focus groups can be bunk. All it takes is for someone like a Luntz who most likely had an agenda to guide these people in a direction via his questions to have them all conform to the same idea with leading questions.

There is a real misconception or at the very least implication that people who receive welfare are people who don't work. That's simply not the case. Most people who receive food stamps, medicaid etc are people who indeed work. http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2015/04/13/get-a-job-most-welfare-recipients-already-have-one/ Don't get me wrong, I don't believe we should be sustaining people nearly as much who are habitually and willfully not attempting to look for work. There should be repercussions for these folks. But the overall point is even in a state like California which has totally gone off the rails with this issue, just because you have some people who are receiving benefits from a state that allows them to have it, doesn't mean that they aren't there to work. That's a fallacy

That's quite a rewrite of what happened. The main reason why McCain lost the latino vote the way he did was for two reasons, the push for a comprehensive immigration under Bush exposed the hatred for this idea from the right and believe me when I tell you, Latino's noticed the tone in rhetoric. And two, Obama was seen as "transformational", they ate his **** up and went for him. And Romney's stance on immigration wasn't seen as "mushy", it was seen as noninclusive, when his famous policy proposal on the matter was for them to "self-deport". And it's not solely about identity politics, it's about what we can do to fix the system of immigration. It's broken, too many illegal immigrants are indiscriminately coming here because there is a willful neglect from politicians to allow this to happen. Trump's solutions are a non starter for the country, sure maybe in rightwingville this will be cheered but not throughout the nation. Therefore it is not a serious proposal. So the solutions are to remain with the status quo or look to fix the immigration system. And your idea to appeal more to white's is beyond short-sighted. I'll leave that at that.

Fact is, Reagan did it, and he would never adopt or endorse a plan that is currently being discussed by Trump and his followers. In regards to your proposals, most of them are from my perspective are at least open for debate even though I'm not in full agreement with a couple of them, minus the birth right one. It's just not gonna happen. You aren't going to get 2/3 of the Senate, house, the presidency and 75% of all the states to ratify it. The country isn't a clone of Alabama. It's diverse, there are more democrats than republicans, hell I'd venture to guess that not even 50% of republicans would agree to such a measure. You sure as hell wouldn't get even 20% of Democrats to agree with that and you'd get even less independents than Repubs to go along with it.
