That aside.
What did he say in that announcement speech do you disagree with?

Really? So living in the same one level home you bought in the 50s and giving away 90% of your fortune is pompous and egotistical?
Well, I guess my theory about him running just to get himself in the news and help his TV shows has been disproven. He's clearly not trying to make a lot of friends in this venture.
The essential nature of the statement he made about illegal immigration is, I think, true. It's very reasonable to believe that we are not talking about the best and brightest from Mexico when we're talking about people sneaking across the border to get into the United States. Also, that stuff where people get on TV and talk about that particular population having a lower crime rate than our general population is a bunch of crap.
If you think otherwise go ahead and link something you think shows that to be true. Maybe you'll come up with something I haven't seen already but what I expect if you do that is I'll be able to show you how whatever you come up with isn't really backed by data reasonably supporting the point.
I'm doing it that way because there are so many complete crap things people have put forth to supposedlyi support that Statement that I'd have to write my longest post ever to even cover all the bullshit angles they've come up with.
Then I see them come on TV and say things like Trump being factually wrong when in reality they themselves are full of shit. The problem is that none of the talking head news people interviewing these people ever follow up or challenge them when they say crap like that.
Like to me one of the worst is the way Geraldo Rivera gets away with that. He does it over and over again and he's completely full of it but everybody just lets it go so that in the mind of the typical viewer it's going to be established as the truth.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star? Deep Purple: No One Came
And yes I know it appears to be a "conservative" think tank. But I didn't pick it because of that. It's because the analysis presented is a whole lot better than most of the crap I've been able to find.

I don't quite get what you're saying. Please go on...
I think this was the first Trump thread so maybe he changed his mind quickly when someone told him he had to? I need to re-read and see what he was saying I guess.
