1. Hillary Clinton is the front-runner 2. There is no “new” Donald Trump. 3. The public doesn’t really want either of them. 4. Republicans have a demographic problem . 5. Republicans have an electoral map problem. 6. The first presidential debates will be bananas. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/6-things-we-know-heading-into-the-final-months-of-the-presidential-race/2016/09/04/4b4ab3ce-72b5-11e6-a914-5d61c1ac8237_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-main_mondayfix-120pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory |

Do you think the dems in DC and possibly Hillary will give Besos' Amazon.com a nice crony reach-around for their efforts? |

Ok, so putting the source aside, no comments? No disputing the 6 things? |

The demographic problem the GOP now faces is a direct consequence of mass immigration. If the USA had had no immigration since 1980, Trump would be looking at a similar landslide to Reagan. |

No, that is everything. The Democratic Party couldn't win elections so it has elected a new people. |

Well no use thinking about it, because it can't be reversed now. |

Sometimes you gotta consider the source right? 1) I don't agree Hillary is the frontrunner...even if you believe the polls ( I don't) Hillary is at best the front hider.... 2) I agree there is no "new" Trump but people who haven't been paying attention are seeing Trump in a "new" way...and it's Presidential...never forget Trump has been the recipient of the largest negative onslaught campaign of any Presidential candidate in history from both sides of the Party establishment, the media, the DC cronyists and the corporate interests they represent and he is easily within striking distance...take into account the "monster" vote and the pendulum is swinging the right way for him 3) The public doesn't want either of them....that's a media generated phenom reinforced by the media echo chamber.....keep this i mind...Hillary needed paid protestors, paid seat fillers at he convention, paid twitter followers, paid trolls, $100 million + paid advertising and still can't fill anything but the smallest venue. The public clearly doesn't want here....Trump has not had to do any of that and is filling arenas, had reddit's highest AMA ever, drives TV ratings and is setting the narrative in spite of the media doing everything in the power....as people start paying attention and see him in settings like Mexico and the black church they will embrace him... 4) Republicans demographic problem is their problem not Trumps...Trump is directly addressing this head on as seen by his recent activities...google the "monster vote" ...the demographic problem is not as big a deal as the media make it out to be.... 5) Electoral Map problem...perhaps but again ...a lot less of a problem with Trump as any other GOP candidate... 6) The first presidential debates will be bananas....assuming Hillary is healthy enough to show up yes they will....her only hope is to get Johnson on that stage with them....keep in mind ....Trump survived against world class debater Cruz and several other professional politicians with a lot more experience than 1st timer Trump....and Hillary is horrible both on and off teleprompter..... |

Thanks for actually taking the time to actually respond to the points. If you do not believe polls, there is not much we can debate. As far as the debates, bananas meaning it could get entertaining and go many different ways. Will Trump act presidential and talk substance or will his tone be belligerent and insulting like he was in the Republican debates? The latter may of played to his base, but wont with the general public, and certainly not with women voters. |

When the moors illegally immigrated, the Spanish fought for seven hundred years to deport them, in this, they were successful. |

Francois Hollande was elected President of France on the votes of Muslim North African immigrants. What this shows is that the political parties of the left are waging a war on their indiginious populations all over the west. The end result of this immigration is that the native culture, customs, and wage floor are destroyed. Electoral victories granted on the backs of the votes of immigrants are thus illegimtate; the natives should not accord the traitors any deference. |

Don't care about what happens in other countries. I like diversity, I like that we are suppose to be a welcoming country. I value the skills immigrants bring us. Does illegal immigration have to be stopped? Of course, but we need to make it easier for those that want to come here and assimilate. My current wife is an immigrant and now a Nurse Practitioner, wonderful partner and 21 years younger. Keeps me young. Have a son-in-law that is an immigrant, now an over the road trucker. My oldest son is engaged too a really nice Hispanic girl (born here) runs a winery. Have relationships and friendships with many races and from other countries through my career. Now you can think of me what ever you want. No worries, no care. |
