A piece in Politico said they actually don't need to run it themselves anymore. It's been on the networks nonstop and for free.

I'm not so sure.. as a Trump supporter, I'm worried that Trump is putting too much emphasis on illegals etc, and not enough on the fiscal status of the nation overall, including the budget, spending, jobs etc..

I know they are all related, but dont think the average voter considers the overall picture and he's probably going to lose if he doesnt talk about what matters most.

Trust me, all of people haven't heard the core of his message even though he is constantly on the news. you would be surprised by how many Americans don't know about the hook of Trumps campaign

You found some articles but never did anything more than scratch the surface.

You falsely play the race card. That is repulsive tabloid garbage.

Who cares if Putin and Duke said something positive about him? Like I said and you proved yet again, you're into the tabloids. It's always about policy.

He's the establishment but doesn't come close to making Sanders look like a moderate.

He doesn't want to track Muslims. That was made up but understandable because he isn't clear on his stance.

Endorsed direct talks with our enemies such as Iran and Russia? Why yes lets stop talking with them because that's how things get done right?

We haven't had free trade we have had managed trade. Trump hasn't been clear on what he exactly thinks free trade is.

He is hard to understand with his "we need to do something" statements.
I just backed up my opinion with facts, there is nothing I can further do to prove that everything I listed is accurate. Everything I said is 100% accurate and speaks to why I won't support liberal Donald Trump.

What is repulsive is Donald Trump's racism, be it genuine or to play on people's fears. My guess, given his history of outrageous comments, is that he is truly a racist and hateful person, it forces him to come across as moronic and irrational.

I do believe that Donald Trump lacks the policy knowledge and judgement to lead, but character does matter. Integrity does matter. Donald Trump has no integrity and lacks character.

As far as David Duke and Putin are concerned, I think that speaks for itself.

Bernie Sanders is a socialist, but he never endorsed a massive $5.7 trillion wealth tax and he had the judgement to vote against the Wall Street bailout Trump supported.

With respect to Iran and Russia, I don't support the idea of the President of the United States engaging in direct talks without precondition. We always have to ensure we are in a position of strength and we should not reward behavior that violates human rights, international norms, and our own security interests.

I know this, free trade has benefited the United States overall. We need to continue to support free trade which helps keep the cost of many consumer goods down while creating jobs.

I guess the plan now is to not to gain more supporters but to motivate his supporters to vote on Election Day. Donald Trump numbers skyrocketed it when he made the comment about building a wall in the Mexican border and called those "being sent from Mexico" rapists, drug smugglers and criminals.

I don't like what he is doing because I find that ad repulsive but I understand why he is doing it. This was a very calculated move. It's like when the republicans chose Palin to motivate their base. Will it work? Who knows.

The ad in this article? http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-me...nts-southern-/

The MOST critical element is securing our borders. I think that is clear to people that have a shred of intelligence and can put the whole picture together.

As we know, or should know, there is an ISIS training camp just outside of TX: ISIS Camp a Few Miles from Texas, Mexican Authorities Confirm - Judicial Watch not to mention the ones in the US: This Map Shows 22 Confirmed Terrorist Training Camps Inside the US... Obama Is Ignoring Them

The open southern border MUST be secured: Proof our southern border is under attack by Muslim extremists and Syrians Detained Trying to Cross Texas Border: Report | NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth and Terrorists smuggled across U.S. southern border before capture in Texas - Washington Times

Illegal immigration is a HUGE part of the problem because we don't know who is coming in. I don't see why people cannot get a clue about this.

Phony farm labor shortage: Phony Farm Labor Shortage: We Need to Talk About It and https://www.numbersusa.org/pages/jobs-americans-wont-do and Are There Really Jobs Americans Won

They steal our identities: Illegal, but Not Undocumented | Center for Immigration Studies

They cost us billions of tax dollars: The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers (2013)

They cost us lives of our fellow citizens: Victims of Illegal Aliens Memorial And that list continues to grow and it could be your family member next.

Trump is, for those that have comprehension skills, talking about the economy and jobs are the economy and what is sinking us, along with these 3rd world immigrants, into a deep dark hole. It used to be that we put tariffs on incoming goods in order to level the playing fields for our own companies but we quit doing that and jobs disappeared. Restoring those tariffs will make it economically possible for goods to be produced here creating jobs and less likely that a company will move out of the US because the tariff on incoming goods will make it not worth the effort.

The wall can be financed with the tariffs coming in on the southern border.

When we had a strong military, we didn't have these 3rd world loonies pushing us around.

So, did anyone else study economics and US history in high school? Anyone else go to high school? Trump is not even my first choice but what he is discussing is just so basic that I don't see how it goes over so many heads.

I find much of Trump's mannerisms offensive but I care more about our country than being offended by someone's personal style.

I find that Ben Carson has the most intelligence and integrity. He is so much more than people give him credit for.

You have heard "Ignorance is bliss." but I can tell you that it doesn't look good to onlookers.

Interestingly, Casinos have been the area where Trump has generally not been as successful, or is an also-ran in the field.
