Sure, he is putting himself first when he says he will forgo his presidential salary and not take Social Security. He is putting himself first when he spends his own money on his campaign. What other politician is offering that?

It took Fiorina four years to pay vendors and staff for her campaign, but she paid herself $1.25 million dollars for loans she made to her campaign first. That put the campaign so far in debt that it was unable to pay the staff and vendors for years. Buy hey, she got hers. That's the definition of a phony, me-first politician.

In other words, most posters on the left do not believe "Centrist, Moderate Republicans" exist. If they did, they wouldn't resort to the blanket smear almost 100% of the time.
You keep thinking that.

So tell us, is everyone to the left of you a left wing nutjob?

Outstanding post

There's a crystal clear difference between the establishment politicians, faux outsiders like Fiorina, and Trump who is making unbelievable sacrifices to make America great (rich) again. People like Fiorina are all in it for themselves, it's so pathetic. Can't believe so many people don't see right through that phony.

He's going to let the RNC pay for the general election - this primary isn't costing him much - it's all for his ego. This is just one big ego trip for this blowhard.

The more I read of his appearance on 60 Minutes the more it becomes clear that Trump is nothing but a Democrat in a toss-the -illegals cloak. His tax plan is reductions to the poor and his health plan is hard to distinguish from Obamacare. It just goes to show how far being anti-immigrant will take you on the right side of American political leaning. We saw the same thing with Joe Arpaio, who even went so far as to endorse a Democrat (Janet Napolitano) for governor and never lost a Republican vote.

What he's spending on the campaign would be peanuts next to what he stands to make when he sets up his Halliburton-like corporations to get government contracts to build that wall, help those veterans, change Obamacare around and whatever else he promises. Just ask Dick Cheney about his 36 million dollar connection with Halliburton.

Maybe Obama ought to try that, it's better than what he has been doing.

So, you are right. The majority will have to leave when those incentives are removed. The rest, we can apprehend and remove.

Trump can get it done! I suspect those that make a lot of the comments against Trump have not been listening to him because what they are stating is not true. Or, maybe, they have an inability to comprehend what he is saying since, let's face, it is been awhile since these issues were discussed and it probably just all seems really new to them, so foreign, "Make American Great Again". Yes, it does sound impossible but Trump offers the best chance at this and many are willing to take that chance versus continuing on our downward spiral to 3rd world status.

The illegal immigrants will be one of the easiest tasks because we know how to get that done and lots of people are just waiting for the word to enforce.

Without jobs and welfare, they'll stop coming in and those here will have to go home. How much simpler can it be said?

Boy, I bet they'll wish they didn't have those 5 anchor babies per family to feed when they get home!
This. Thank you for making so much sense in a clear and straightforward way. Its almost toooo easy. Hammer employers, cut off welfare, allow police to detain illegals when they come in contact with them, and this could be done in a few short years. Many would self deport
