The establishment voting for the only establishment candidate left.....anyone surprised?

WASHINGTON — Republican Congressman Carlos Curbelo (Fla.) said Thursday he won’t ever support Donald Trump for president, and left the door open to voting for Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton instead.

“I think both Donald Trump and Mrs. Clinton are flawed candidates. If you look at the polls, the majority of Americans have negative views on both of them,” Curbelo told a CBS affiliate in Miami. “So I am going to wait and see what happens on our side. But I have already said I will not support Mr. Trump. That’s not a political decision; it is a moral decision.”

Asked point blank if that means he’d vote for Clinton over Trump if it came down to it, Curbelo kept it vague.

They're slowly starting to figure out that it's getting harder to pull the wool over people's eyes, tbh. The media is almost powerless for once and they can't throw money at this problem like usual. It's a lose-lose situation for them now. Either back the candidate they don't want or screw over voters and destroy their own party. At least with the former there's a chance they can come out on top.

If I was the Repbublican party I would be trying to kill Trump at all costs too. Trump's campaign is pretty much outright racism, and it could torpedo the Republicans hopes of keeping the senate if his angry white man rhetoric drives a large turnout. With Scalia gone and Ginsburg likely on her way out in the next term, them losing the senate would have enormous implications for the nation's future. With a Democrat senate and a President Clinton you could be looking at another two younger liberals like Sotomayor and Kagan on the bench for the next 20-30 years. That would be disastrous for gun rights, for example. Trump can do enormous damage to the party's name by making people associate it with white nationalism instead of conservatism.

From an engineering standpoint it could be easily built. Instead of a single 35 foot wall it would be more practical to do a simple double chain link 8' fence 100' apart with concertina and land mines between. Put up a lot of multilingual signs. Might have to have a few manned stations at water gaps out in West Texas but building it would be easy. Anybody dumb enough to try to cross deserves the Darwin exit. I guarantee the ranch owners in Texas on the border would be happy to donate the easement just to get control of their property again.

[Th'Pusher]

I would consider a policy that treated illegal immigration as a two-way street not racist. E.g., putting people in prison for hiring illegals, combating the problem not just at the border but also inside the border. But racist Trump doesn't want that, he'd rather hire illegals and save a few bucks. I would love to see a candidate take illegal immigration seriously but building a wall or putting more border patrol at the river isn't a serious proposal as long as it's fine to employ them. And for agriculture jobs that depend on illegals, allow them to legally come in for the growing season to work those farms and pay taxes just like the rest of us who enjoy the opportunities America provides.

Coming from the faggot that probably couldn't assemble a simple IKEA product I realize that building a 'do not cross" zone seems to be an insurmountable obstacle. Yeah, the terrain out west is probably too rough to build a solid wall that floods could wash out. That's why I left the caveat that there would be some manned locations on those drainage areas. There are already plenty of Border Patrol and ICE employees to man those areas.

:cry Trump2016 chalk writing :cry
:cry triggered :cry
:cry micro aggressions :cry
:cry remove immediately :cry

As anyone who has spent five seconds at a college can attest, sidewalks covered in chalk messages are a pretty common fixture of the campus scene. But Emory University students had their delicate worldview shaken by the sudden appearance of one specific chalk message, "Trump 2016," all over campus. The students were so traumatized that they stormed the offices of Emory President James Wagner, demanding answers and feelings-protection. Wagner sent an email to campus in a desperate and wildly unnecessary effort to make everyone feel safe again. Here is the whole thing, (http://politics.blog.ajc.com/2016/03/22/chalk-one-up-to-donald-trump-at-emory-university/) with commentary:
Dear Emory Community,
Yesterday I received a visit from 40 to 50 student protesters upset by the unexpected chalkings on campus sidewalks and some buildings yesterday morning, in this case referencing Donald Trump. The students shared with me their concern that these messages were meant to intimidate rather than merely to advocate for a particular candidate, having appeared outside of the context of a Georgia election or campus campaign activity. During our conversation, they voiced their genuine concern and pain in the face of this perceived intimidation.
The election in Georgia may be over, but it is very much the case that there is still an ongoing national conversation about who the Republican Party nominee will be, and, ultimately, who will win the White House. Trump is one such contender. It's not remotely clear—nor even plausible—that the message "Trump 2016" was non-political in tone (and it shouldn't matter). Students who voiced "genuine concern and pain in the face of this "perceived intimidation" should have been told their perception is at odds with reality, does not supersede other people's free expression rights, and should be recalibrated if "Trump 2016" causes them actual pain. Sadly, this is not what the president told them.
After meeting with our students, I cannot dismiss their expression of feelings and concern as motivated only by political preference or over-sensitivity. Instead, the students with whom I spoke heard a message, not about political process or candidate choice, but instead about values regarding diversity and respect that clash with Emory’s own.
It should be perfectly acceptable to challenge "values regarding diversity," even if these values are deeply held by both students and the institution itself.
As an academic community, we must value and encourage the expression of ideas, vigorous debate, speech, dissent, and protest. At the same time, our commitment to respect, civility, and inclusion calls us to provide a safe environment that inspires and supports courageous inquiry. It is important that we recognize, listen to, and honor the concerns of these students, as well as faculty and staff who may feel similarly.
If the institution rushes to the emotional defense of thin-skinned students, can it really be said to support "courageous inquiry"?
On the heels of work begun by students last fall and advanced last month through the Racial Justice Retreat and subsequent working groups, Emory is taking a number of significant steps:
• Immediate refinements to certain policy and procedural deficiencies (for example, our bias incident reporting and response process);
• Regular and structured opportunities for difficult dialogues (like the Transforming Community Project of several years ago);
• A formal process to institutionalize identification, review, and addressing of social justice opportunities and issues; and
• Commitment to an annual retreat to renew our efforts.
Reminding students that they can sic the campus grievance bureaucracy on people who offend them further weakens Emory's stated commitment to free speech.
To keep moving forward, we must continue to engage in rich and meaningful dialogue around critical issues facing our nation and our society. I learn from every conversation like the one that took place yesterday and know that further conversations are necessary. More than that, such discussions should lead to action that continues to foster a more just and inclusive Emory.
Sincerely,
Jim Wagner
To recap: Some Emory students are so fragile, and terrified of innocuous political speech they dislike, that they immediately sought comfort from campus authority figures. These figures, of course, were more than willing to coddle them.
It's enough to make you want to grab a piece of chalk and scrawl "Trump 2016" on an Emory sidewalk, huh? No wonder so many non-liberal students are cheering for Trump (http://reason.com/blog/2016/02/23/how-political-correctness-caused-college)—not because they like him, but because he represents glorious resistance to the noxious political correctness and censorship that has come to define the modern college experience.

Consider Clinton,' former Bush official tells hawkish Republicans
Source: Washington Examiner



A former Bush administration official said Wednesday that single-issue Republican voters, who plan to select a candidate based on their foreign policy, should consider likely Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton if Donald Trump is her opponent come November.

"If you care about that bucket of social issues, pro-life, what not, you can't make the leap to Hillary Clinton," Nicolle Wallace, who served as President George W. Bush's communications chief and a senior adviser to the McCain-Palin campaign in 2008, told MSNBC in an interview Wednesday morning.

"But if foreign policy is how you vote, if that is your central concern, if counterterrorism is what worries you, how do you not consider Hillary Clinton in November?" she added.

Earlier in the program, Wallace said "the conversations happening in private with Republican consultants is that if you are not a social conservative, there is less and less rationale for hardened opposition to Hillary Clinton."
