    Check the morning consult poll I linked to above. He's over 50% on the EO.
    Let's put this in perspective.

    Most Donald Trump supporters still think the 'Bowling Green Massacre' is real
    Kellyanne Conway made up the terrorist attack in Kentucky to justify the President's travel ban on people from seven Muslim-majority countries

    In a new poll, 51 per cent of Trump voters agreed that "the Bowling Green Massacre shows why Mr Trump’s immigration policy is needed".

    It wouldn't matter which GOP candidate won the nomination, and then the presidency.
    The simple and overlooked fact is that most of the United States, like it or lump it rejected the path we were on. Yes Hillary won the popular vote.
    But just look at the county by county national map. A blue dot here and there. But most of it is bright red. Look at the States that flipped red. Wisconsin has been consistently blue since Regan. Not anymore.
    Do you think the radical left would have been any kinder to Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz?
    No it's not Donald Trump who they all despise. He just happens to be the president.
    What they despise is conservatism.
    I may not have liked GW, but it was more about his incompetence and perpetuated lie to send us to war with Iraq. He at least had class and decency though and didn't polarize the country because of his xenophobic and narcissistic rhetoric. I'm not sure how anyone can compare Rubio and Cruz to Trump. I would have gladly taken either of them. Writing it off as fearing conservatism is just as ignorant as writing off Trump supporters as being racist hillbillies.

    I am reading that the great border WALL will cost more than the government originally thought, but I have not gotten involved in the design or negotiations yet. When I do, just like with the F-35 FighterJet or the Air Force One Program, price will come WAY DOWN! Melania and I are hosting Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Mrs. Abe at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla. They are a wonderful couple!

    Trump is the kind of guy who probably brags about his sexual conquests with other world leaders and normalizes it as guy talk because he thinks it will impress him.

    "Hey Abe, how's the missus in the sack?" All while laughing and giving him a slap on the back. Just an old sleazy perv.

    I can think of one world leader this would impress; rootin' tootin' Putin.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Jim Jefferies telling Piers Morgan to fuck off on live television is one of the great moments in TV history.

    One of the great moment of insanity. People who believe we are in 1938 Germany are insane.

    I'm not sure how you can call Donald Trump a conservative. These are not conservative values. A federal "task force" to deal with crime in the city (whatever that means) is not conservative. Being anti-free trade is not conservative.

    And when did counties start having a vote? I think the population of those blue blips are pretty important judging by the majority vote of Clinton.

    . If it was president Ben Carson, or president Carly Fiorina implementing some restrictions on immigration so we can figure out who's coming and going in the name of National Security, they would be flipping out all over he or she too.
    Don't tell me if it was anyone but Trump that they would be giving he or she a fair shot. NoWay! They would find a quote here or a quote there from Dr Ben Carson from 20 years ago, or Carly Fiorina that would disqualify everything they say now.
    You can not win in a liberal forum such as this.

    So you think immigration has no restrictions on who is coming and going now?

    This is an example of a low information Trump supporter.

    Words matter. We didn't realize you were his interpreter. And I think you should be careful assuming that every Trump voter knew that there was an immigration, visa, and green card policy in place already. But you are already know that.

    "some restrictions" and "so we can figure out who's coming and going" this implies that they don't know who is coming in now.

    It doesn't read that way. If any president tries to sell that all of a sudden we need to ban certain countries with no known or suspected change in the national threat level that supports this expedited half-assed order, expect lots of questions and pushback. Trump sells it like there were no restrictions before and any terrorist could just get in the country unchecked. Not true. He also is trying to convince us that these 7 countries pose more of a threat than the one's who committed the most recent terror attacks on U.S. soil, all while making it clear that Christians will be given a pass in those countries.

    Did you believe Bush and Cheney when they said Iraq had WMDs and we needed to invade? Do you believe there was a Bowling Green Massacre?

    Leave it to Trump to make the right decision for the wrong reason...he nixes the guy not because he's a neo-con and part of the PNAC, but because he questioned Trump's fitness.....classic.

    I don't think anybody has successfully called me out yet. I also have only spent my time defending the defensible. What I find "indefensible" is when Trump goes all Halifax/Polaris by comparing Putin's actions to previous US actions...that shit's just insane. Do I still think he's "brilliant"? Hmmm...I flip flop back and forth on that everyday. I mean clearly he is "brilliant" but what I an interested is in results and the two don't always go hand and hand. That being said I believe he is playing his cards right to have the best chance at achieveing results. Add to that his ability to resist the progressive/media rage that no other republican would have the intestinal fortitude to withstand and my belief in his abilities only increases.

    Now if we can only do something about his Halifaxian worldview and move him in a more neocon direction...

    No I don't "believe" there was a Bowling Green Massacre. Yes I believed all the democrats and George Tenant who said Iraq had WMD. The decision to invade I supported however for me that was based on more then just weapons...weapons were only a side point for me.

    Back on topic though...what is being "sold" to you on restrictions was decided by the previous administration and congress. Those countries were chosen because they are for the most part failed states with weak national governments. That means documentation cannot be verified from those places when compared to Saudia Arabia and/or Pakistan. It is so logical and I will link this article again because clearly you didn't read it.

    Are you joking? You believe Bush and Cheney are war criminals. You have the same view on Iraq that Trump does (so he says). When O'Reilly called Putin "a killer" and Trump said "is the US any better?" that was straight out of the Halifax/Polaris view of American history. It's an indefensible position that you have defended since day one on these boards.
