No. You responded to my quote.

"There is a poor community of whites, illegal immigrants, and legal immigrants." Where the heck are you getting mostly white from?

Here's a hint: it's 96% Hispanic, and the "illegal alien [invaders]" are not all rapists. Donald Trump is not a credible source.

If Donald Trump is not a credible source, then how about Jan Brewer?

I was responding to this idea that Trump is some sort of great capitalist. He ran a professional sports league into the ground. He's had 4 bankruptcies. He's benefited from corporate welfare. He supports government-run health care. He supports a wealth tax. He opposes free trade. This idea he's some sort of great conservative is a joke, and it shows the ignorance of some.

Capitalism is all about making money, by any and all means.

That's precisely what Donald Trump has done.

Of course he is a great capitalist.

As for who is a "great conservative", if you think that selling out America and favoring foreigners' jobs over American jobs is "conservative," then you are deeply out of touch with the Conservative GOP base. That's what the elites are pushing, not what the great mass of ordinary people want. Which is precisely why Trump is leading in the polls - because he reflects that.

Capitalism is about making money. It requires markets that are generally free of government intervention and intrusion. What Trump has engaged in is crony capitalism.

The fact is, jobs related to exports pay an average of 15% higher than other jobs. I've got news for you: half a million manufacturing jobs are unfilled because of the skills gap that exists today, it has nothing to do with free trade. NAFTA was implemented in 1993, by 2000 22 million jobs were added.

Have you ever even met a person who would consider Jan Brewer a credible source on anything? I haven't.

Aka capitalism. You don't get to cherry pick who is and isn't a "capitalist" based on what they did to get money, the very essence of a capitalist.

Jan Brewer is the hugely popular Governor of an important southwestern swing state. Arizona voted for Bill Clinton once, and if the GOP doesn't nominate someone who can appeal to the sorts of voters who support Brewer, Hillary could win it too.

Jan Brewer was elected in a landslide by the god fearing white conservatives in a landslide, or by Obummer's appointment of Janet Napolitano as Secretary of Homeland Security, whichever way you prefer to look at it.

If you don't think that Jan Brewer is a credible source, then you stand in opposition to millions of Americans who know that she is. Which is to say you stand in opposition to the American people, and to the GOP primary electorate.

NAFTA was implemented in 1993, by 2000 22 million jobs were added.

You seem to have a quaint pre-modern Hayekian understanding of capitalism. One that is out of step with the realities of the 21st century economy, or for that matter the 20th century economy. America was never great by having a bunch of small independent proprietors, wandering around in a forest trading beaver skins. America was great by having enormous corporations which curry favor with the government to form large, stable monopolies which can harness the efficiencies of economies of scale, mass production, and managerial organization.

All of America's greatest accomplishments are the direct result of large scale, corporate crony capitalism. The Erie Canal. Standard Oil. The United Fruit Company. The F-35 fighter. The i-Phone.

Donald Trump understands that China is now eating our lunch. Why? Because they have now become better at crony capitalism than the originals - the masters - us.

Succesful capitalism does not require "markets that are generally free of government intervention and intrusion." It requires using the full force and power of government to support enormous corporations in making money, by any and all means. That is what has made America great in the past, and that is what can make it great again in the future.

Bottom line - capitalism is all about making money. No candidate has done that better than Donald Trump. So if you support capitalism, you have to support Donald Trump.

Can we ban this moron yet?
Don't like the person's opinion, use the ignore button. Banning people for the sake of banning people is lame.

No, in fact I find his posts to be quite amusing. What angers me is that his trolling is so painfully obvious that it hurts my eyes and that people reply to this troll.

Trump probably has thousands of real life supporters across the country, as much as I hate to admit it.  He very well could actually support trump.  Just because you can not comprehend how anyone could support him doesn't make it trolling.
