.... and then imagine the apoplectic outrage from the likes of Michelle Obama, Hilary Clinton, NOW, and nearly universal condemnation from every female celeb in Hollywood, if this person were..... a Trump supporter

Works for me.....as long as the WALL COMES 1ST.  Border enforcement must come 1st.  Not concurrently.  No clean DACA bill 1st with a "promise" to do something about the wall later.  "Comprehensive" immigration reform MUST start with tangible, substantive. border enforcement, 1st

Been down that road far too many a time to believe that the Democrats would honor some "promise". somewhere down the road

Unfortunately for the Times, Trump is neither a political activist nor a social activitist.  He's merely blunt & politically incorrect.  Sorry to spoil such a good Trump-bashing opinion piece, that the NY Times has stockpiled in

But C.....with all due respect, I'm not one of those "many times" folks.  I always thought he could win the election, given who he was running against.  The reason he won the nomination is he made illegal immigration front and center to his campaign.  That issue alone sent him right up to the top of the GOP polling

It's not the only thing that people supported, in supporting Trump, but it s a HUGE reason he won.  And again, with all due respect, you're dodging the question/issue here.  I respect that you're a die-hard supporter of his, but what kind of a "deal" is this, where the democrats get everything they want, and Trump & the GOP get .... what exactly?.... "enhanced security measures"??  What the hell is that??     And what stops the next Democrat President from reversing any of those measures??

He's trading his greatest leverage for......?.....a promise the Democrats will consider funding his wall, some other way??, at some other time??  And he's going to buy that once he relinquishes his best arm of leverage?  And in the process, millions of new illegal immigrants will swarm the border, while those already here, get a free pass......along with the parents who were illegally here to begin with

And you're ok with that??

So....our Presidential deal maker, holding multiple bargaining cards, leading with DACA......apparently Democrat Legislators are close to closing a deal with the Trump Administration that will make DACA constitutional, via the legislative process........but where's the return??  I'm hearing there's no borderwall mandate

Last go around, the "deal" was Amnesty for a few million illiegal immigrants for the promise of improved border enforcement.  Anmesty went thru, but Democrats balked at seperate border enforcement legislation.  And the result of that "deal", was amnesty with no border enforcement

Is Trump taking us down the same road?

The problem we have in politics today, Kimba, especially in DC, is everything is now ideologically driven.  When folks like Schumer, head of the Senate Dems, make it publically clear their intention of fillibustering any Judicial nominee that isn't at the minimum an ideological moderate, where is the GOP to go?  For the history of this country, the President got to chose his appointtees.  If they had a failure of conduct, then they weren't supported.  But never was their a litmus test on ideolgy, that the Democrats introduced with Judge Bork.  And its steamrolled from there

Yes, the GOP has started to play that game now, but it seems always to be the Dems upping the ideology as the means to an end.  There is no willingness to compromise.  That's what Obama brought to the forefront.....his way, or the highway.  He didn't bother to try and find middle ground the way Bill Clinton did.  And the Democrats have embraced that tactic now.

While the rest of the blue states, like New York, scream NOOOOOOOO, you idiots!
