I must admit that Trump is highly entertaining but his nativism rankles me.

When I think of my Latino friends and the calumnies he spreads about them and how he wants to target members of their group I am apoplectic. All people of good will should be, including Republicans, if there are any among them.

IMHO, he's George Wallace with a ten figure net worth.

It's chilling listening to him. He almost sounds like some WWII dictator. There appears to be no RKP5637 Aug 2015 #1

empathy with him. Yep, a 21st century George Wallace. And what is his plan, bring in the Gestapo, door to door searches. Military convoys looking for illegals, knocks in the night. It's all really creepy. And, imagine what the worldview will be of America. Will we be much different than "them" over there we are supposed to constantly fear and fund the MIC for protection.

What is even more chilling are those that think this would be a great idea, rounding up millions of people. Granted, there is an illegal problem, but is the solution brute force bullying ... I don't think so.

And funding it ... I've heard the estimate is in the billions and billions of dollars. This is crazy RW two six pack talk IMO.
