The same can be said about Democrats wherever you find them.

Both sides do it. Both sides suck because of it.

The 42 member "freedom caucus" in the house only exists
because of gerrymandering. They are in districts that
are so skewed that only a super conservative "republican"
could ever win.
As for voter ID there is tons of evidence that absentee
ballots have a lot of voter fraud but in person voting
the fraud is less than .01%. All the voter ID laws are
designed to suppress in person voting with an illegal
"poll tax". Oh sure the ID might be "free" but the birth
certificate you need to produce costs money. Also in
texas you can use your hunting or fishing license but you
can't use a student ID...even if the student ID was
issued by a state school.
Tell me exactly how those two things in this country are
1. Fair 2. Make America great?!?!

"conservative minority" HAH!
Most people are in the middle and couldn't give a
shit less, while indeed a minority fight for or
against most things.
"Progressive liberals" often forget the difference
between legal and illegal immigration.
If the "conservative minority" is gerrymandering
districts in Illinois, they sure aren't very good at
it. Both parties gerrymander and it sucks.
You need an ID to do almost everything else in your
life, why should the most important thing be any
different?
BTW: I'd like to welcome unchecked emotion to a
mostly logical conversation.

"The Wall" is a stupid, ignorant and
an expensive attempt to solve a non-issue...PERIOD!
My great grandfather was an immigrant from
Italy...when no one liked Italians. Italy was poor
and invading north africa his motivation was the
same as all the South Americans coming here now (I
say South Americans because most of the illegal
immigrants are forms Countries south of Mexico) He
forbade my grandmother from learning Italian because
at that time the Italians were looked down upon
(early 1900's)
Totally shameful that everyone has the "close the
gate behind me" mentality. America (not 'merica) is
built on immigrants. Those who have no compassion
for the Syrians fleeing oppression or the South
Americans migrating north for a better life are just
plain stupid in my opinion.
As a progressive liberal - yeah I said it and I'm
fucking proud of being a progressive liberal - im so
sick and tired of the agenda of this country being
driven by this damn conservative minority who would
rather see their neighbor fail. And yes it is
a conservative minority because they have to
gerrymander districts and enact "voter ID" laws in
order to win. Social security and
Medicare/Medicade are vital to our well being and
prevent the old, sick and poor from dying on the streets.
I could go on and on but #fucktrump and #fuckcruze
their policies and rhetoric have no place in a
"civilized" society.
What the happened to "love thy neighbor"?!?!?
Seriously WTF?
I can't wait to see the republican convention contort
itself into a million pieces...you reap what you sow.
America is already fucking great!
Sorry for all the cursing but it really chaps my hide
to see American politicians act this poorly.

Guys, I am not a Trump fan boy, so let’s make
this disclaimer up front.
However, there is a LOT of street smarts in this
guy. The negotiation is just that… a
negotiation. IF he gets in, and starts this
process and is bound and determined to make it
happen, extremities can be discussed (or thrown
out there as shots across the bow), and then
adjustments get made. The point of a wall WILL
be built, coming from him, gets it started, and
having Mexico start to feel the pinch (in
whatever way that takes) will get people’s
attention.
Is “the wall” THE answer to immigration
challenges? Of course not. Is it helpful and one
part of the total solution needed? absolutely.
There IS NO border with the U.S. right now. What
is there is a façade. Trump is crude and I wish
he would tone down the rhetoric a bit (for
everybody’s benefit, including himself), but this
country needs action in so, so many areas and
nobody seems to have the gonads to do anything
that isn’t buried in PC or politics or corruption
or power or all of the above.
I acknowledge that I may be naïve or optimistic
on the subject. But, I /still believe in America/
and its strength and there is been absolutely
nothing done in recent time to maintain or
increase its strength… only further dilution and
division and flailing discourse at an
unprecedented level historically.
Not a Trump fan, but “let’s have some balls and
fix our country fan”
