Discussion: Instead Of Detailing His Immigration Policy, Trump Polls Town Hall Crowd (VIDEO)

This is why I thought he’d need two (or more) VP picks at the ready backstage when he announced his pick. I assumed he would read the crowd and decide in the moment. Same stuff, different day.

This man should be wrapped tightly in a straight jacket and put in a padded cell–not running for President of anything let alone the United States.

Well, there may be a smidgeon of method in his madness: the next time he says “many people say…”, he can point the finger back at the rally, where there were “many people”…

So’s us libruls can’t make fun of his “many people” fantasies anymore.

:wink:

When you only listen to the people who already support you then you are living in a bubble. He lives in an echo chamber and he’s batty.

“I don’t know, tell me”??
Come on—put that in the headline.
It’s only early morning, you haven’t had a lot of coffee, so I’m cutting you some slack.
Still…the headlines are generally good these days.

Hannity jumped in to ask, “What does your gut tell you you want to do?”

“Hold on, this is like a poll,” Trump responded.

“It really does depend on which direction my farts blow, Sean,” Trump concluded.

Assuming the near-certain probability plays out that he goes down ignominiously, I just now had a pang of regret. I’ve been sick with concern about this phenomenon, and will be tremendously relieved to see it end, but you know, all that public Mittyesque fantasizing was morbidly fascinating and in fact kind of amusing amid the horror. Always with the many people, the many, many imaginary people who validated whatever he felt like blathering about that day. Never with names or phone numbers, the people. The top police guy the other day who could make Chicago a blessed realm of crime-free peace in a week with toughness and renewed “spirit.” The many people, the many, many people from just last night who say you can’t throw the undocumented out just like that, because it’s hard to do, all of a sudden it wouldn’t be easy and happen in 18 months with the easy easiness of easy things that are very, very easy. In a weird way I’m going to miss all that. In a non-weird way, holy fuck I won’t. But in a weird way I will.

Yes – bigly so.

BECAUSE HE DOESN’T HAVE A POLICY ON IMMIGRATION…or anything else for that matter.

As others have said, this is the Seinfeld campaign about nothing.

Trump: I realized that wall is not a good idea. If we build the wall, how will we push out the illegals who are already here? They will never be able to leave.

Agreed. Trump’s motivations are apparently coming from somewhere else. “Government for Dummies” points out in chapter 1 that you need to have a Shadow Government with policies shaped ready to go in the eventuality you actually win the election. Trump hasn’t made the slightest efforts in this direction, suggesting that this whole spectacle is nothing more than an exercise in brand enhancement. Moreover, you could imagine large foreign governments willing to pay to lock down a “Devil You Know” Clinton nomination, rather than face the chaos of GOP insanity, so they’d be willing to pay Trump a couple billion to yank the GOP off the rails. Good job, Donald!

I’m almost definitely positive that Latinos are going to love an immigration policy designed by Fox viewers who support Trump.
Whatever could go wrong???

Now we have to think about it being hard? Why didn’t anyone think of that earlier? He said that he has had people tell him that it will be difficult to deport people who have been in the country for a little while. Has anyone told him how difficult it will be to round up gang members? Has anyone pointed out to him tha following the laws of the country will involve due process?
Idiot. It’s supposed to be hard.

Seriously, it goes without saying that over and over you’re just astonished at how lazy and stupid this mammal is, underneath the craziness. It’ll be September in a few days and this guy is asking his audience what he ought to do about his signature policy position. Never once had he thought about that or any other issue in any serious way. Never once. It’s staggering.

Trump is being forced to deal with the backlash from his own fear mongering and lies about illegal immigration, how ironic.

That’s why President Hillary’s Opponent is almost an idea to me, in a twisted way…because it would guarantee a crushing Democratic wave election in 2018 and 2020.

But then my commonsense genes kick in and I remember: We might not survive to 2018 or 2020 with that idiot in the White House.

He might still get some gigs cutting the opening ribbon at shopping malls. So you can look forward to the reunion tour.

Part of the tension comes from American business owners who like their cheap labor just fine, thanks. The loudest cheerleaders for “Small Business Saturday” and “Shop Local” are the merchants whose exterior siding is being replaced by Spanish speaking construction workers, and whose till is being clerked by a girl who looks and sounds like a younger, less experienced Melania Trump.

True enough. Remember, the last GOP administration actually had a plan (war with Iraq, trashing the environment, among other things) long before they stole the election (for which they had a plan also). Just can’t imagine the world and what it would look like after the seriously incurious, lazy HO administration got through with it. ((((shudders))))
