It’s called management,” he said. “I’m going to get great people that know what they are doing...

Trump Deflects Questions About High Cost of Mass Deportation Plan - Bloomberg Politics
Does it matter? Please tell us which Presidential candidate has EVER laid out specific plans and then made good on them once they were in office. They all lie and people are sick of the talk. Looking at the polls, its completely obvious people don't want another career politician in office.

When two posters say the same thing at precisely 1:07pm, you know Trump phenomenon is for real.

I think the only thing that can stop Trump's march to the nomination at this point is Trump. Who would have thought it only three months ago? Certainly not me.[/QUOTE]

I agree and I'm certainly happy about it too.

This female thinks Donald Trump is a hot-headed, arrogant, pompous a**, whom I would NOT want sitting anywhere near that "red button" in the Whitehouse.

I sure don't have the answer or formed an opinion yet, as which of the frying pans is better than the fire but, I do know Trump isn't one of them. He could take a flying leap off that ugly Trump Tower in Las Vegas and I would miss his idiot rhetoric like I'd miss a toothache at a turkey dinner.

Sorry to those who like Trump but IMO he has become a much bigger legend in his own mind than he deserves to be. I don't disagree with some of his opinions, but I do disagree with his approach to managing things. He would be too much of a danger to this country as a whole if he was sitting in the Oval Office.

With his money/influence and Sheldon Adelson's money & influence, I don't see Congress having much to say about anything, good or bad, if his Hairness would get elected------

Trump just broke through another “ceiling” the media keeps constructing for him. First it was a summer fling, then it was uneducated voters and finally it was the 25% ceiling that Trump could not break through. Well, he did.

The danger is the current administration who just negotiated the worst deal in history with Iran, a country which routinely vows to destroy Israel and the US, and opened the path for them to become a nuclear power. We've essentially taken that "red button" and handed it to these maniacs!

We have idiot leaders making idiot deals. And our own borders; if we don't fix this country's immigration policy, in a few more decades there will be no more United States of America. It may exist in name, but it will be little more than a third world cesspool of crime and poverty.

Here's what you liberals don't understand. Trump does not need to cross every "t" and dot every "i" in his immigration policies; he's given enough in his policy outlines to adequately articulate that he wants to fix the problem. And that's what people want. We want someone who is going to fight for this country and not another loser who is going to pay lip service and then sit back and be content with the status quo. If it wasn't for Trump, nobody would even be speaking about immigration now!

Please liberals, I know you want to all feel sanctimonious all the time which leads you to -- for some bizarre reason -- take satisfaction in seeing American culture being usurped by migrants who bring their third world dysfunction with them. But please, for the sake of your children or grandchildren, think about the future of this country and what we're going to leave them with!

For my part, I can't in good conscious even consider voting for Hillary Clinton. I care too much for my country. I am not sold on Trump, but if the election were held tomorrow and these two were on the ballot, I would go with Trump, basically because I don't know of any real dirt on him, the way I do on the Clintons. A year from now will I be still considering Trump? We are a long way from an election and who knows what may transpire. I do know that I like that he has brought up immigration. It hasn't been truly addressed since Eisenhower and it needs to be. If he has done nothing else, he has brought this to the forefront and it is long past due.
