Looks like Trump is wise enough to pander to his base. This after two journalists were shot in Virginia.

Donald Trump: Mental health, not gun problem

http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/27/politi...aws/index.html

A few cops were killed too with guns in the past week. Wonder how he is going to explain that, since that was mostly because of hatred and revenge. At least we know that Trump has the nod from NRA.

Never but he is forcing discussions on topics that are usually avoided or dusted with outright lies. Take illegal immigration for example. The left is for amnesty but where do you draw the line. If this were to happen expect illegal immigration to jump tenfold. The right is unwilling to address this issue at all and has simply been hiding behind the slogan 'we need to secure our borders'. But how? I have never heard a practical suggestion but when it comes to funding, total silence. So simply kicking the can down the road forever.

So here comes Trump, wants to deport all illegals (not really but we know the ones ) and build a wall. A totally impractical suggestion both politically and monetarily and now everyone is talking about it.

So the genie is out of the bottle for good or bad. And this is just one hot button topic we have been avoiding for a long time.

Still no real solutions but there is talk. When the general election rolls around, hope the electorate wakes up and realizes that the cure is more dangerous than the disease.

Yep the journalists where shot by a black gay leftwing racist loon.

Cops are getting assassinated by radical leftwing racist loons and by all rights endorced by the administration by setting the atmospheir.

Do you think selective outrage is on display here at this site? As we know that when a gun is used and killed someone the left goes off half cocked. Where are all the threads started here to bring to light the evel gun owners that are all knuckle dragging teabaggers.

Hypocrisy at it's best...

The Repubs could've avoided all this by taking up that bipartisan Senate bill when it was sent to Boehner. It had millions in upgraded border security along with a fairly strenuous path to citizenship for the undocumented.

In regards to this topic I keep wondering why we have a "War On Drugs"? Drugs have never killed a single person. They are inanimate objects that need a physical being to use them.

All drugs should be legal...

Do you have a link to that Bill?

To the actual Bill not to a media source.

And lets roll that into the amnesty Bill so I can have amnesty for all the troubles drugs caused in my life.
