Immigration was a big deal in the 2016 election. All the budget and regulation and Obamacare and climate change stuff was just noise that voters didn't take very seriously. But building a wall was nice and simple, and they thought it would bring back their jobs and keep their towns safe. Trump is nuts to not do it. The Wall is why he is President according to www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2017/04/its-wall-wot-won-it

Well thanks for adding motherjones to the list of sites not worth ever reading.
There were many reasons why Trump is the president now. The wall is only one of them. The biggest reason that this happened was because the Democrats have become so terrible that Hillary was their only choice.
While Trump is building that wall, you should work on re-building your party and getting somebody who could actually run against him in 2020.
I'll take your silence on the matter of the sanctuary city as your concession that you were wrong about what you posted.

According to Pollster, Trump's approval rating has been improving for the past couple of weeks. I guess a couple of high-profile bombings can do wonders even if people don't really trust you to keep your promises anymore. If Trump won't build the Wall, he better drop many more bombs for the sake of his approval ratings. I suggest North Korea. I just want to be helpful.

SECOND is a fanatic. You can't discuss anything with a fanatic.

Yep... The MSM got what it wanted and the sheeple are settling down because the media isn't triggering them every day.
Good lesson that trump is learning there Second.
Maybe now would be a good time to reflect on the MSM yourself and ask why after dropping bombs do they back off of him after being so relentless for the last 3 months?

The Simpsons on Immigration
http://angrybearblog.com/2017/04/the-simpsons-on-immigration.html
Simpsons aficionados among you already know that the Simpsons addressed the issue of immigration back in 1996, in the episode “Much Apu About Nothing”. Here’s a summary of the beginning of the episode, thanks to Wikipedia.
On an ordinary day, a bear strolls onto Evergreen Terrace. It is quickly subdued by the police, not before accidentally shooting and capturing Barney Gumble. Homer rants about these “constant bear attacks”, even though this is the very first bear Ned has seen in his forty years of living on that street. Homer then leads an angry mob and demands that Mayor Quimby do something about this. Soon, the Bear Patrol is created, a useless organization which even makes use of a B-2 Spirit. Homer then gets just as shocked [as] when he saw the bear when he discovers that taxes have been raised five dollars to maintain the Bear Patrol.
After that, the angry mob returns to the mayor’s office, yelling “Down with taxes! Down with taxes!” The mayor has to do something…
Quimby: Are those morons getting dumber or just louder?
Assistant: [Takes a moment to check his clipboard] Dumber, sir.
Quimby: They want the bear patrol but they won’t pay taxes for it. This is a situation that calls for real leadership. [Opens the door to his office to confront the angry mob.]
People, your taxes are high because of illegal immigrants!
Moe Szyslak: Immigants! I knew it was them! Even when it was the bears, I knew it was them.
Let’s not confuse fiction with reality, though. I certainly can’t believe that politicians in real life would ever raise the issue of immigration to cover up for their failures in other areas of policy, such as taxes, government spending, income inequality, education, health care…

Care to try addressing the facts, again?
Or do you shoot nothing but blanks?

I think it's Aspergers. You can't argue anything with second because she will constantly change the subject on you when you're right. Notice in our exchange she never once contested any of my points, nor conceded any. At least 5 replies there were links to new stories and points that only vaguely had anything to do with what we were talking about.

Nah, Second's okay. I think she takes in a lot of lefty media, and has some things that she takes in which come from reading other people's opinions, which is like what you said in the other thread about partisan stuff. It just tilts things.

I don't discuss it because actually talking to a Republican about politics is like talking to them about evolution. (Keep in mind I'm in Texas. In your state, you may have people with Republican leanings, you may be one yourself, who are open to "conversion" to evolution, to "belief" in science. I'm using evolution as an example of a topic that is not worth discussing in an open forum with somebody that is just looking for an excuse to say Liar! or fanatic! or Autistic!) The Texas Republicans respond to evolution with "You've got your fossils created by Satan (substitute 'fake facts' if it was about politics) from your non-Christian (substitute ‘leftist’ if it is about politics) scientists with their theories of evolution (there is often sneering at the word theory) but the only true facts are in the books of the Holy Bible." Bejesus to all that.
