That if they repeat that offense (those criminal aliens) they should face even longer in prison before being deported again.
That efforts to enforce the border (including visa overstays) should not stop at the border but should include efforts like e-verify to stop employment of illegal workers - depressing the wages of legal workers.
THAT THE QUESTION OF WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE REST OF THE 11 MILLION WHO ARE HERE ILLEGALLY WILL ONLY BE ADDRESSED WHEN ALL OF THE ABOVE HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED.
THAT THE DECISION MADE THEN WILL BE FAIR.
Now it is absolutely true that many Trump supporters did not hear his position as I have just described it. Some of them are racist to the core. They think he said he wants to deport the 11 million immediately.

Is it fair to expect others to ignore his committing fraud against so many if judged guilty? Just saying... if justice is blind.
These people are public servants and always subject to the law of the land. We don`t have royalty in America.
I`ll also just point out again that in the popular vote (the actual numbers of votes..) He did not win most of the votes of the voters of this country, she did. It was not a mandate.

In must be a great burden to be the sole arbiter of genuine feelings in the world.
May you find the strength to carry on. | 4 | Trump ran on a campaign which claimed the failure of democracy and attacked "democracy in action" every time his opposition got the upper hand.
In the meantime there is a very real fear among the people who oppose this mans' election that their future well-being, perhaps even their lives, are at risk. There's a very real despair when facing possible decades of atavistic behavior and the inevitable corporate oligarchy Trumps' "agenda" will incur. These people are still human beings and will react to threats in the very human way of resorting to violence when the institutions which promise them equal opportunity and justice fail them. Such was the revolution which formed this nation and such were the actions of Americans throughout our history who were failed by the "system".

So it has to outnumber the hate-filled Trumpsters who poisoned the internet and social media with their various -isms. For example, one issue that has emerged as a influence in the vote was the slowness of the economic recovery, blamed on Pres. Obama and Democrats while the GOP is given a free ride as if they have no complicity in it. How come? Another issue is the desire to see a total break-up of the power of Washington and so many went for the outsider (without any realization that they were actually voting-in a single party rule that has always damaged democracy before) in the hope that it would "shake up" the federal government (as if Giuliani, Christie, Pence, McConnell and Ryan were somehow "new").

594,752 | [0, 0, 0, 0] | The economic model Trump seems to favor -- which sounds like the widely disparaged trickle down Austerity economics of Reagan times, as well as more recently in Europe, is one which has been widely disproved. But people seem ever to believe in it, because it appears to make sense from the point of view of a family budget. But it doesn't from a societal scale, because you have to have extra funds to create more funds . . . so it has never worked! It is actually ok and healthy to work with some debt. We have tried the other guy -- Reagan for one -- and it did not work! Never has. Ask Nobel Laureate economist Dr. Paul Krugman, who has great NYTimes columns. Democrats have greatly reduced the national debt in several of the latest presidencies -- Clinton and Obama in particular. It has been the GOP which have hugely expanded the debt. I am hopeful that people will begin watching more than one news source, to get different perspectives. Seems real important. Good wishes. | 4 | Gotta admit you're right there, at least the first two. And I'll take the third one on faith.
But I think you're comment exactly points out the fallacy of your argument.
I think it was NOT a racial, political or gender divide that determined the outcome of this election.
Look at the county by county map of the election results and see that the VAST majority of the country, admittedly not the population, voted for Trump. Only the highest density urban centers, where the greatest proliferation of entitlements are, as well as the higher concentrations of wealth, went to HRC.
I forget now who said it, and am too lazy to google it, and I don't mean this pejoratively at you, but "It's the economy stupid".
I think it just came down to America looking at the liberal policies and saying we can afford that anymore.

I find it interesting that while I was watching votes poor in, that in red states...the major cities were blue. Which is also where a lot of these protests and riots are occurring. The major cities see themselves as the "voice" of their state which is far from reality. The only reason Clinton has thus far won the popular vote is because major cities are generally democratic because they prosper from the thousands of goverment-led programs paid for by all of us.
Well...the rest of us have spoken up and we garnished enough electorals to surpass the major city populations vote.

Each state in the beginning was to make its own law and Federal power was very limited.

Unfortunately, because of the powers of the Supreme Court and abuse of Executive Power ... by many past presidents and Supreme Court cases that strayed from the views of the majority... we have deviated from the original path of our "Founders."

But that was the last Republican administration and now we are supposed to move on without questioning the legalities of the new one? Trump did not release his tax returns because they conceal truths that may have damage him on the campaign trail. Or maybe not since you, female evangelical women and Mormon women seem to have been able to overlook the gross sexual comments and actions of the vile man.

It is what an 81-year-old Black lady from Eugene said to me it was--jealousy.

Non-whites (including Hispanics) voted in greater number for Trump than for Romney. Educated whites gave a majority to Trump.
The reason Trump won is that turn-out among urban blacks and other members of the Obama coalition was way down in places where national policies placed them at an especial disadvantage.
That turnout was down because the Democratic Party nominated an uninspiring, terribly-flawed, worst-possible candidate - a congenital liar who endangered national security (intentionally and carelessly using an email server less secure than gmail), who refused to take responsibility for her mistakes (e.g. Benghazi) and who had been selling influence to the highest bidder for decades - from Little Rock to Big Banks to Deplorable Foreign Capitals.

NO, i would say that the corrupt unions have made it bad for workers. as an example, unless a person is willing to pay the extortion fees of the unions they are unable to get a job. granted, in the past the unions performed a well needed function, but honestly, what exactly is their function today? sometimes i wonder why i bothered to even go to college, i should have just went to work, joined a union and i would make more money, and work less. because the unions have such high wages and benefits, along with their uncanny ability to not perform on the job, i would attribute to employers moving their production facilities overseas, ie. less good paying jobs. | 6 | Nice read Mr. Karabell.

If you're comfortable pretty much giving up your vote and powers to some mix of large states (whatever that mix might be), then you SHOULD be for a plebiscite.

The left already has gotten into trouble for condescending to working-class people, and insulting all Trump supporters as racists simply magnifies that problem.

I don't know to what extent, if any, Steve Bannon associates himself with all that or with Michael Voris, but I am confident that as a media-savvy person, he understands the implications of tossing the term around.
I'm not sure where MSW is coming from, but Bannon is Catholic. As for the allegations of antisemitism, etc., they seem to stem more from comments others have made on the Bretibart site than those of Bannon himself, the implication being that his failure to refute or remove such comments suggests personal consent.
I withhold judgment on all that, but I have learned enough about the man to believe he's unqualified to be a presidential counselor. But then, the president he'll be counseling is also unqualified, so I suppose they're a match made in... well, somewhere south of heaven. | 4 | Is this Michael Voris' Church Militant or another? If so, is there more to it than Michael Voris? I thought it was just a nut with a web server and a camera. If Bannon said he is a "member of the church militant," that just means he's Catholic and not dead yet.
Hasn't MSW been claiming Bannon is anti-Catholic? Are you suggesting he's a faux-traditionalist Catholic?
Without exactly knowing the facts, I would say:
If Bannon is a faux-traditionalist Catholic, that's hardly news. Scalia was one and so apparently is Clarence Thomas, Roberts is in the orbit and so is Gingrich. (As far as I know, Rudy Giuliani does not pretend to be religious anymore than Trump himself.)
Disliking Jews does not make someone a Nazi. Thinking violence against Jews should be legal or that Jews should lose their civil rights makes someone a Nazi. It's a vitally important distinction.

And as always, you are correct, it is always proper to respond to a perceived attack by engaging in the same conduct.

It means that we know that good and evil are inextricably intermixed in human affairs; that they contain, and sometimes embrace, their opposites; that success may involve failure of a different kind, and failure may be a kind of triumph."
