Prediction - American is going to get one radical president or another

I agree, cut off all the benefits and the only people who would come here would be those who could take care of themselves, If someone isnt a drain on the system im in full support of them coming here and trying to better their life,

That was America's basic immigration policy for decades... with a "waiting list" to accept immigrants in a controlled fashion not harmful to the country.

Then one day, the politicos go the idea that they could win elected office if they captured the Hispanic vote "block"... if the Hispanics voted a high percentage one way or another. EVERYTHING about America was put at risk to try to capture that vote. And now with Odumbo and the Muslims... good grief!

I belive the nominees for the POTUS is going to be Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. The forces are simply too great for anyone else to even have a chance.

Trump has a good shot, I don't see this Bernie Sanders winning. Sanders is a first class idiot with an IQ well below average. If Trump wins the nomination, that unfortunately means Hillary will likely be President. Do we have to go through another debacle like we did under Bill Clinton?

To claim that Trump's appeal is based on economics is the sort of marxist class theory analysis I would expect from Richter.

That's stupid, aaasshole. If immigration is not a negative to the economy, then what's your real trouble with it?

let's just imagine we get a perfectly polarized world in 2016 and the two candidates are Trump on the right and Sanders on the left. Who would you vote for? and who would be the moderate in the middle? Me personally? would say Trump is the moderate, bout the same as Hillary. I like Bernie because he is hardcore left. I have yet to see any hardcore right even attempt to get elected. Maybe because most of us on the right have simply given up on politics (check out the Koch brothers who fought to fight against crony capitalism...they have about given up) or at least prefer to control it from a position of wealth and power. And I'm not talking about controlling 400 congressmen and a president and a media, I'm talking about controlling your own personal wealth and power. If you let the republicans and democrats fight among themselves, they will out of spite open up some opportunities for free thinkers to profit from. There's a lot of money in the middle, but you need extremes on both sides to get a good price to enter or exit.
