Even if he loses, the issues he is raising are not going away. Ignoring, disnmissing, shouting down what 40% of Americans agree with is not something that will simply go away.
These issues must be dealt with politically or they will lead to  non-political rapture. It is the same in every country and the US and the West generally are no exeption - you can't ignore or dismiss 40% of the electorate

I was going to ask him that, then I thought: "nah, what's the point?".

Trump is headed for defeat - that's all that matters.

or in Australia's case, the 49.9% of voters who voted for Labor.

Hopefully Sanders supports will remain true and vote for Clinton, as he asked them to.

I fail understand why people like The Creep.  Some men are obviously attracted to him... they long to be him, so he speaks the unspeakable things they dream of saying.  But seriously..?? The man is a trainwreck.

As for the Putin lovers..  go and live in Russia,, yeah you Sprintcyclist, and see for yourself.
.  I think you must be a very young man, who has not really faced great difficulties in life... yet.

Part of an email I had sent to me today:

"TRUMP HAS McCARRAN-WALTER ACT OF 1952 TO BACK HIM UP!
Here's an interesting historic fact that would seem to indicate that many, if not most, of the people we elect to go to Washington don't have the slightest idea of what laws already exist.

MacCarran Walter Act of 1952

Trump was recently severely criticized for suggesting that the U.S. should limit or temporarily suspend the immigration of certain ethnic groups, nationalities, and even people of certain religions (Muslims).  The criticisms condemned such a suggestion as, among other things, being “Un-American,” dumb, stupid, reckless, dangerous and racist.  Congressmen and Senators swore that they would never allow such legislation, and the president called such a prohibition on immigration unconstitutional.

It seems that the selective immigration ban is already law and has been applied on several occasions. Known as the McCarran-Walter Act, the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 allows for the
"Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by president.  Whenever the president finds that the entry of aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, the president may, by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”

The act was utilized by Jimmy Carter, no less, in 1979 to keep Iranians out of the United States, but he actually did more.  He made all Iranian students already here check in, and then he deported a bunch.  Seven thousand were found in violation of their visas, 15,000 Iranians were forced to leave the United States in 1979.

It is of note that the act requires that an applicant for immigration must be of good moral character and "attached to the principles of the Constitution.”
Since the Quran forbids Muslims to swear allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, technically, all Muslims should be refused immigration."

The reason the anti-ban voice is so virulent, is because the ban is perfectly legal and morally justified. Prepare to be the object of vilification if you say you want to defend the West against its sworn enemy. But the ban needs to be part of a raft of policies that combat the spread of Islam. The relationship between secular governments and those which make Islam the state religion, must be carefully re-examined, because at present the relationship is mired in hypocracy. The price will be high, both financially, and in the loss of some personal freedoms that were cheap, before the enemy began operating a fifth column in our countries.

This is assymetrical war, and we need to learn how to fight it fast. Regular government warnings, as in any war, need to be made in contrast to “liberal” media excuses for religious fanatacism. A campaign needs to be waged comparing the benefits of the Western secular umbrella over multiculturalism, with the narrow, violent, and superstitious mono-culture imported into the West, called Islam.

Resident Moozlims must be required to re-affirm their acknowledgement of the supremacy of the Western value of pluralism, denounce violence, and know that purgury in these cases will have serious consequences. Those who refuse, are enemies of the state.
