Five smart ways Donald Trump could undercut Elizabeth Warren - 06/11/16
As previously discussed, Elizabeth Warren's shrill, content-free attacks on Donald Trump mostly just help him. Since helping himself is all Trump cares about, don't expect him to do any more than he does already.
However, if Trump ever decides to put the USA first, here are five smart ways he could undercut Warren to her base and others.
Attention Trump leaners: shrill, pro-illegal immigration elitist Liz Warren really doesn't like Donald Trump - 06/10/16
Sen. Elizabeth Warren has launched into a series of personal attacks against Donald Trump, doing it in a way that will only help him. It might solidify the Democratic Party base against Trump a little bit, but it's not like they needed more reasons to vote against him.
Donald Trump's first Congressional endorsement: pro-amnesty Renee Ellmers - 06/04/16
Donald Trump has issued his first Congressional endorsement: to Renee Ellmers of North Carolina. The Trump robocall endorsing her - from Ellmer's Youtube channel - is below. Ellmers is a supporter of what Trump supporters would call "amnesty". From a 2014 Ellmers OpEd [1]:
Donald Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson vs things called "La Raza" - 06/01/16
For at least five years, the National Council of La Raza page at this site has included this at the end of the summary:
Donald Trump's Ebola plan helped Obama continue his agenda - 05/24/16
At the height of the Ebola crisis in 2014, the elites were very keen on not putting significant travel restrictions in place. Instead, the most that happened was that inbound travelers who might have been infected were given cursory examinations at U.S. airports. Obama and other leaders implemented that policy, but it was clear that the whole establishment didn't want significant travel restrictions.
Donald Trump to terrorists: terrorism works - 05/22/16
Donald Trump has said a lot of crazy things and proposed crazy policies that show he isn't qualified to be president. This tweet [1] is yet another example:
The American people are sick and tired of not being able to lead normal lives and to constantly be on the lookout for terror and terrorists!
First, as with many of the other things Trump says, that's not accurate: few Americans are cowering in fear as he describes.
How Donald Trump's remittances plan would fail too - 05/04/16
Every Donald Trump plan to reduce massive and illegal immigration would fail miserably. See that link for the details on how his Muslims ban won't work and his mass deportation plan won't work. (The Trump Wall will also fail for the same reasons).
Charlie Sykes' very weak Donald Trump interview (Wisconsin) - 03/28/16
One of the reasons why Donald Trump is currently doing so well is because his opposition is incompetent. Trump is a highly flawed candidate and if his opposition were competent Trump would be back on reality TV.
Donald Trump is too weak to undercut BLM, MoveOn, and the anti-speech far-left - 03/14/16
The latest way Donald Trump is letting down the U.S. is his very weak response to the protests that disrupt his events. If Trump were a stronger candidate, he could use those protests to undercut noxious far-left groups and by so doing he'd reduce the future disruptions at his events. The disruptive protests might cause more people to vote for Trump, and clearly that's more important to him than greatly helping the U.S. by undercutting noxious groups.
How to protest Donald Trump effectively - 03/10/16
Dear potential Donald Trump protester:
I understand you want to protest Donald Trump and shout your disagreements with him to the world. However, the methods past protesters have used against him aren't very effective. No matter how many protesters he gets at his rallies, he keeps getting more and more popular. Why repeat the same failed methods, expecting a different result?
Donald Trump and skilled immigration (H-1B visas, green cards) - 03/04/16
On skilled immigration, Donald Trump - at least at this moment in time - appears to support two somewhat separate positions, both of which are problematic:
Donald Trump would deport all illegal aliens, then let most come right back - 02/26/16
At the February 25, 2016 debate, Donald Trump clarified that he supports what's called "touchback". Under touchback, illegal aliens leave the U.S. and then are allowed to come right back, legally. It's like waving a magic wand: someone could be here illegally one day, and then some period later they'd be transformed into a legal resident.
Charles C. W. Cooke wants a "Manhattan Project" to stop Donald Trump - 02/25/16
Charles CW Cooke of National Review says he wants a "Manhattan Project" to stop Donald Trump [1].
The original Manhattan Project involved very smart, dedicated people who put their pride and other personal interests aside to achieve their goal.
A reply from a Donald Trump supporter - 02/18/16
Donald Trump supporters are special people, as a reply to one of my comments illustrates. In comments at [1], I wrote in reply to someone else's comment:
How exactly would Trump "protect Christianity in this country in a way that hasn't been done in decades" when as President (!) he'd have very little power? The Dems would try to obstruct everything he does and it's not like the GOP and most Republicans in Congress are going to risk their careers lining up behind him.
"Donald Trump isn't a Real Conservative" - 01/09/16
One of the talking points used against Donald Trump is that he isn't a "Real Conservative"; examples at [1]. That talking point might be counter-productive and it exposes yet again that being a "real conservative" isn't actually all that popular.
Donald Trump could stop Obama's immigration agenda right now. Why won't he? - 12/16/15
As previously discussed, by proposing unrealistic plans, Donald Trump is helping Obama continue his immigration agenda. See that link for the details.
It doesn't have to be that way. In fact, Donald Trump could help stop Obama's immigration agenda right now if he wanted. So, why doesn't he?
Donald Trump's plan to keep Muslims out of U.S. is dangerously unrealistic - 12/08/15
Donald Trump recently proposed keeping all Muslims out of the U.S., at least temporarily [1]:
(New York, NY) December 7th, 2015, -- Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on...
There are various problems with that plan but I'll only discuss the aspects relating to how realistic his plan is and what that says about him and his supporters.
Could Donald Trump deport 12 million illegal aliens? - 11/11/15
The short answer is no, Donald Trump won't be able to deport 12 million illegal aliens. That, of course, assumes Trump is nominated and elected, and both of those aren't very likely. It is very likely that Trump knows he wouldn't be able to deport millions of illegal aliens, he's simply playing to his base.
Will Donald Trump supporters help or hurt him? - 09/17/15
As previously discussed, the biggest problems Donald Trump has include him not discussing immigration in better ways, and his supporters being incapable of defending him against all those who oppose him.
Donald Trump releases immigration policy paper (co-written by Ann Coulter?) - 08/16/15
[SEE UPDATE BELOW]
GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump has released an immigration policy paper [1] and it isn't quite as dumb as I would have expected. However, there are several major problems with the paper and Trump's campaign that render it mostly useless:
Obama zings Trump, millions of Americans at White House Correspondents Dinner - 05/01/11
Barack Obama spoke at the White House Correspondents Dinner last night and joked about Donald Trump and smeared millions of Americans who have valid questions about Obama's past. None of what Obama did was presidential, but it's what most of his supporters want and his detractors are generally unable to do anything about it.
