Ted Cruz is still for legalizing illegals as non-citizens
In other words, make them the equivalent of Metics.
Chutzpah: Trump one ups Carson's answer for IRS tax audits
Ben Carson implied in the Republican debate last night that he was politically targeted for an IRS audit after speaking out publicly against Obamacare.
Donald Trump seemed to like the answer so much he decided to go for it for himself.
In remarks made to Chris Cuomo on CNN immediately after the debate, Trump blamed his long history of tax audits on the fact that he was being targeted for being a Christian.
Yeah, like the whole world thinks that's the reason.

Elites in both parties are so over the top against Trump because if he gets into the White House . . .
. . . he's likely to acquire information he'll get access to which proves their self-serving betrayal of their country. Information is power. Don't forget Filegate.
Can't wait.
P.O.S. Mitt Romney does a Dirty Harry Reid on Donald Trump . . .
. . . says there may be something hiding in Trump's tax returns.
Must be payback for eventually saying Romney was a lousy candidate even though at the time Trump supported Romney and even defended him against Reid.

Marco Rubio, the very intelligent imbecile: "You don't win the nomination by how many states you win"
No, obviously you win the nomination by losing all the states!
You Republicans who are promoting this moron better find a new candidate because this one is umbday in any language.

John McCain's writer Mark Salter says don't vote for Trump even if that means Hillary becomes president
Here:
Trump is not trying to make great America great. He’s trying to make us the worst we can be to satisfy his own vainglory. There’s no dealing with him, no trying to encourage him to behave like a grown-up, much less a statesman. If you can see him plainly and you love our country, you must vote against him. Even if that means electing Hillary Clinton.
P.O.S.
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher: Russia should be our natural ally, but instead Obama is being belligerent
Here in The National Interest:
Today, we have . . . a waning military capacity coupled with petulant policies towards Russia, a country that could be an ally against such mutual enemies as radical Islam and, potentially, an expanding China.
It represents a stunning and total failure of vision, moral and strategic. We must cast aside such absurd, costly, unachievable and un-American ambitions that would have us policing and garrisoning the planet, intervening in every conflict. We must favor a policy that cultivates mutually beneficial relations with nations of like culture and values, negotiating smartly in the national interest—all, of course, while maintaining a defensive military posture second to none.
Mr. Money Mustache: Obsessive compulsive, and a bunch of other enthusiasms
From the story in The New Yorker, here:
The blog, which he started five years ago, is really an attack on consumerism and waste—a theology of conservation—disguised as a personal-finance advice column. The prospect of retirement is in some respects just a lure—the carrot, as opposed to the stick of his relentless polemical thrashing of anyone who thinks it’s O.K. to buy lattes at Starbucks or drive “a gigantic piece of shit that can barely navigate a parking lot.” He told me, “I’m really just trying to get rich people to stop destroying the planet.” ... [A]t one point I realized that he was almost angry at me for my half-witting participation in the destruction of the world. ... When you play devil’s advocate—for instance, if you suggest that if everyone lived the way he does the economy would shrivel up—he can get riled . . .. [Peter] Adeney has the behavioral-economics view that we should set our policies to encourage sensible behavior—the obvious example being a carbon tax. “It’s libertarian paternalism, or maybe it’s paternalistic libertarianism,” he said. “I am trying to improve the commons.” On his blog, he dispenses deep thoughts, product recommendations (credit cards, brokerages, laser printers), and D.I.Y. work-arounds (“How to Carry Major Appliances on Your Bike”—“It is absolutely ridiculous to buy even your first bottle of wine or restaurant meal if you do not yet have a good bicycle and a bike trailer”).
Trump is outpolling both Mitt Romney in 2012 and John McCain in 2008

Back in 2008, meanwhile, eventual nominee John McCain had won a little more than 250,000 votes after Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada had voted.

Trump unfurls frugal $24 million slingshot, fells $157 million giant named Bush
WaPo reports here:
[Y]ou have to give Trump a lot of credit for grasping early on that he didn't need to blanket the Iowa or New Hampshire airwaves with costly ads. Instead, he just sent tweets. Or called into "Morning Joe." Like it or not, Trump has redefined what money -- or, more specifically, fundraising -- means in the context of political campaigns.
