(67,109 posts)please, will he form a Gestapo and go door to door?
Some reporter asked him today a question as to how he would accomplish it. T's remark was something like, trust me, I know how to do it, and you will like it.
Now, the cost estimate I think I heard was 200B, I could have that wrong, but it was in the billions. And, imagine the world view of the US. T is strange. It would be cemented as a fully fascist country under T. What is scary is, there are many that well might vote for him.
That said, not everything he says is wacky, and I agree on his trade questioning, etc. But I think the immigration bit is really in the R loony fringe area.

I suspect that the Donald could still win the GOP Presidential nomination, especially since the old Republican center is as extinct as steam-powered automobiles and bustle skirts.
More to the point, if Hispanics in the western states emulate the sorry example of Texas Hispanic voters in the 2014 elections and sit on the sidelines, Trump could still win those states and their electoral votes, despite the fact that Voting age Hispanic US citizen-voters are a potential plurality in many western states.
