2016 Election

If we're being honest with ourselves, anyone who wasn't delusional knew that Rand stood little chance after Trump gained so much momentum. He reframed the primary race.

Between Trump, the swindling huckster from Calgary who tries to play issues both ways while branding himself as an "outsider" because everyone hates his guts, and a socialist loon who combines the Pauls' stance on civil liberties with free stuff, Rand didn't have much of a chance of gaining traction. Add that to his foreign policy, which I'm not sure people examined thoroughly enough before condemning him as an isolationist. It's a different approach, but I'm not sure it's wrong. But ultimately, very few really want fiscal conservatism.

He's not even an isolationist. Isolationism = no diplomatic relations + no intervention. He's only half an isolationist. Since basically all Rs like the usage of sanctions (IE suspending diplomatic relations), they are all half isolationists, too.

I have no idea. I would guess that at some point in time the operation of said wal would be far cheaper than having to employ thousands of border guards to maintain watch over a physical wall though. Maybe not though.

Why not use the soldiers who are already members of the military. We're paying them anyway, might as well pay them to defend America instead of dying in Afghanistan.

That not a bad idea. We have a Corps of Engineers for a reason and building a fence on the Southern border is the perfect job for us.

Saw that in the Kama Sutra; a little tougher to do than the Wheelbarrow but easier than the The Carpet Cleaner

There are ways around it. The federal government can by the land on the border or the president can declare s state of emergency on the border. Or DOJ can ask the military to help enforce federal law on the border.

Poor Jeb.

Or DOJ can ask the military to help enforce federal law on the border.

That's a textbook case of a violation of Posse Comitatus.

Military can monitor and patrol but can't arrest or detain. Military has been running JTF missions along the border for decades. (Unless they stopped)

Idk if this a good exemption to it or not.

Well, unless the illegals are carrying nukes across the boarder, no, it's not.

Santorum is out.

 

[carlos86]

Santorum is out.

Well his campaign was $42,000 in debt. He had no choice.

 

[carlos86]

Well, unless the illegals are carrying nukes across the boarder, no, it's not.

So the Federal government would have to buy the land then.

Looks like Trump is going to sue.

Grab the popcorn.

Is there any doubt that there will be a brokered convention at this point?

 

[volfanjustin]

Santorum is out.

Going to sue over 1 delegate? Good grief

 

[Stoked]

If this "fraud" even changed the vote percentages by a tenth I would be shocked, and even then it would barely benefit Trump. He has no one to blame but himself for his Iowa loss.

Agreed, he has been crying all day about this

If anyone should be sued for fraud it should be Hillary. She won 6/6 coin flips?...Yeah..
