Do you get all your news from facebook 15 second videos and photos with some photoshop writing on them? Trump has given the most detailed answers than any other candidate in either party. It's fine if you disagree with 100% of his positions, but to say all he does is make insults shows you either have not tried to hear his positions or you get all your news from left wing media outlets. It's no different than someone saying Obama hasn't given any opinions on any issue besides what is the best golf swing.

His plans are feasable how exactly??

Birthright Citizenship, this thing called the Constitution...

How exactly would he pay for this massive walk? It will cost hiw much?? Not to mention the mass deportations...

Raising visa fees won't accomplish it. Nor will confuscating remittance funds. Not to mention he doesn't explain how he could figure out if the $$ was from illegal wages or how he wouls even confuscate it.....



Fwiw I am supporting Sanders.

Never liked him. In Iowa someone asked about gay rights and he brings in the baker and the wedding photographer. He is cozying up to Trump. I hope he doesn’t end up on the ticket.

I like how liberals claim it's impossible to build a wall along areas of the Mexican border and strengthen the immigration laws because it's too expensive... yet they support a guy like Sanders who wants to make university free for everyone, along with a bunch of other "free" stuff. How will that be paid? Oh wait, we're not supposed to ask that!

In reality, a wall along with tougher immigration laws would save the United States BILLIONS every year in public services, whether Mexico pays for the construction or not, it needs to be done NOW.

Exactly, all the Sanders supporters say it will be funded by ending tax loop holes and increasing taxes on the wealthy. Well, that amounts to roughly $2 trillion over 10 years according to Obama because that was the original plan to cut our debt. In order to provide free tuition for ALL public universities and colleges would cost so much more than $2 trillion. Not to mention, we need to work on also cutting our debt. Not only that, but the logistics involved. A huge problem in public universities right now is overcrowding. Students are generally supposed to graduate in 4 years, but many aren't able to do it because required classes get filled up the second registration opens. Imagine making it completely free for everyone! How on Earth would that be possible unless we build 1,000 more universities. Not to mention his other proposals of free healthcare, shutting down private prisons etc.

Are you guys watching CNN?

CNN covered the entire press conference live and then covered the entire Iowa speech with voters live. Fox News started covering the Press Conference live with Greta but I switched to CNN for the rest of the night when they had the press conference, the meeting with Iowa voters covered in its entirety plus two live shows with panels compared to Fox running the pre-taped O'Reilly Factor.

CNN did the same thing in Alabama when Fox News went to its pre-recorded shows, CNN covered the whole event live, had a live show before, during and after the Trump event.

One of the CNN panelists complained about a whole night of Trump but I'm thinking CNN might be stealing some Fox News viewers plus its good for advertising their debate. I'll tell you one thing CNN doesn't do. Unlike Fox News, it doesn't have its debate moderator (Jake Tapper) participating in this whole night of Trump. Good for CNN!

The hows of doing something is often trivial. The more difficult decision is the will do it. Once you decide that illegals must leave then reapply like everybody else, there are think tanks that will tell you how to do it. Faced with a lifetime of living “in the shadows” and the prospect of legal status, I am not sure families won’t take Trump up on his offer.

My God, what a sad spectacle he is, a moron's dream candidate.

He will ultimately flame out, since he's all marketing and no substance.
Moot? Hardly. The truth hurts. Anybody who is impressed with Trump, is more delusional than the bunch who thought Dubya would make a fine president...twice.

This man gives press conference, and he sounds pathetic.
