Trump is going too hard on "criminal" "rough" "bad people" immigrants. It's not a primary, it's a general. If you are gonna go there, talk about the economic costs and need to legal pathway. He only loses votes with broad labels like "mentally ill" "criminals" etc. The vast majority are impoverished people incentivized to come over for a better life.
How do you know?
You think wealthy people are crossing the southern border on foot? Thousands of criminals vs millions of non criminals, equals "vast majority" are not commiting crimes in society beyond entry. It's still a HUGE problem, as it doesn't take many criminals to be a problem.
My point is purely strategic. Trump is campaigning to win the WH. He is talking like he already won. Trump says lots of things that JD, and both of his own sons would never say, bc obviously gives the left soundbites to fuel their narrative.
Do you have the breakdown of who is coming across illegally? What percentage are criminals?

Yes, cutting government agencies will be on the table.

There are gov stats on illegal arrests that back up my point, but hard to accurately measure. I think you would concede that women and children aren't the "rough""bad hombres" commiting crimes. Then you are left with a bunch of poor Mexican men hanging out at Home Depots, fileting fish in some kitchen, or mowing lawns. Of course there are criminals in gangs/sex trafficking/drug rings etc, just significantly less of them than the others I mentioned.
Well the dept of education is in the executive branch so wouldn't the president have the ultimate say in his own branch of govt? I wouldn't think that Congress has anything to do with it unless they pass a law barring the president that power. Don't see why the legislative branch would have a say in it.Thunderstruck xx said:Wabs said:Thunderstruck xx said:

I'm trying to understand the mechanics behind it. Can the president create a commission that has the power to gut or eliminate all these government agencies without senate/house approval?

Gotta be the audio but Trump sounds like he has a lisp now?
It's crazy. Never heard him sound like this
He sounds crystal clear to me. What's your audio source?
BlueTaze said:
Yeah, but Trump isn't referring to the act of illegally crossing the border when he says "they are sending their worst criminals".
All those voting for Trump already, would still vote for him if he toned down that rhetoric in final months of election season. BUT if he doesn't, there are many that will stay home or vote dem because they don't like broad labeling of people many have had charitable interactions with.
It's not really a complicated point to understand.

Not solar. Nuclear and hopefully fusion at some point. Solar isn't great for the environment, either.
