I think it is good to see that Mr. Trump is going to the border to see the situation there for himself. Too many Republican candidates just talk about the border, without exposing themselves to its dangers, without really ever putting their necks on the line, and without ever actually doing anything about it. I am not sure if he will try to take matters into his own hands while he is down in Laredo, and I am not sure whether that would be good for his campaign. But this will pay off with GOP primary voters all across the country. And when the Texas primary rolls around, Trump will be in a good position to beat Rick Perry and Ted Cruz on their own turf, since he has already campaigned in Texas.

Is that really what you think? He's not putting his neck on the line with his multi-million dollar security detail. Get real!

Of course he is putting his neck on the line. This is a guy who has been getting death threat tweets from El Chapo. That's what happens if you speak the truth, bluntly. Mr. Trump is not afraid of the consequences.

It is nice to see, for a change, a candidate who sets an example and pays for his own security, rather than leaching off of the tax payer funded secret service.

You don't think El Chapo has more important things to worry about than slim blithering idiot on American television? Seriously think about what you're saying.

If you really haven't heard about this, just google "El Chapo Trump." There are tons of news stories about this. So yes, it is a serious issue, otherwise the media wouldn't be covering it.

But even if it were not for El Chapo, we know (as Mr. Trump has warned us himself) just how dangerous the border is. This is Laredo we are talking about here.

I've heard about this but what makes you think El Chapo has $100 million sitting around to give to someone for killing Donald Trump? That's absurd and you know it. I like to call it an "empty threat".

I have viewed the border. Have you ever been to Laredo? I have. There is a poor community of poor whites, legal immigrants, and illegal immigrants with a few minorities.

Perhaps a few thousand rich minorities live with the middle-class whites and upper-class whites. Most of the middle and upper class minorities are children, though. Laredo has been persecuted by Abbott's "border sweeps" from time to time, alongside Rick Perry's.

You don't know what you're talking about. I speak the truth. Donald Trump speaks dog poop.

If you think that Laredo is a community of poor whites with only a few minorities, I am afraid that you are the one that doesn't know what you're talking about. Laredo is 95% Hispanic. Basically no white people. The only thing you got right is that there are a lot of immigrants - both illegal and legal.

Trump will be destroyed in Texas, just like everywhere else because he doesn't understand the border or immigration. In fact, he's a clueless clown on everything. I'm done calling him a socialist because socialists are human.

If you were referring to a billionaire capitalist as a socialist, you don't get to call other people clueless clowns.

Don't be surprised if Trump does better in Texas - and especially along the Rio Grande - than you may think.

Although some Hispanics may not like him, there is also a strong tradition of clientelism in Texas border politics. As Donald Trump has said, Hispanics love him, because he'll put them to work. Jobs can win votes.

An experienced businessman like Trump has a much better, more pragmatic, and more realistic plan than just making up a number (4%!) and saying that they have a secret plan in which magically there will be 4% growth, like certain other candidates are doing.

Basically, you have just claimed that Donald Trump will be buying votes. Hm... Good prosecutors could do something out of that.

It is embarrassing that your comeback consists of TL;DR quotes from the toxic CfG and a washed up newspaper that has few readers. However, not surprising that a Jeb Bush supporter fails completely at basic internet etiquette.

I never denied that. It's not 95%. It's a community of mostly poor people with the richest 10% being, literally, 80% white.

I've been there. You haven't. You're talking out of the air. Unless you have statistics or have been there, you're bluffing. Well, let me tell you something:

I'm calling your bluff - and my hand is far better than yours.

So the L.A. Times is a "washed-up newspaper that has few readers" now?  Lol.

I find it hilarious how nobody has picked up on how much of an obvious troll this guy is yet but you guys thought CCSF was within' seconds.

Lmao.

95.6% Hispanic is, literally, the census number. It is 94.3% for the entire Webb county. So, even if every single Hispanic is outside the richest 10% , your numbers cannot be right. I guess, you have difficulty figuring out who self-identifies as Hispanic.

BTW, have to fess up: never been to Laredo. Been to El Paso, though.

Agreed. After Trump gave out Lindsey Graham's cell phone number to the public I came to the conclusion that Trump is a troll.

His speeches primarily consist of him bragging about his business deals and throwing insults at other GOP candidates. He never apologizes for anything he ever says.

First you were going on about how "There is a poor community of poor whites." Now you are saying that all the rich people are white.

Laredo is 95% Hispanic. Do the very small number of whites happen to be richer on average than the Hispanics? Of course - that is basic demographics.

Anyway, this whole thing about Laredo demographics is a derail. The point is that Trump is putting his money, and his security, where his mouth is. He is standing up for what he believes, and for America.

*long cut and paste job*

Leaving aside the fact that you don't make a substantive argument and that it's not at all clear what your point is, you are violating fair use by just pasting in so much of that article.

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.

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.

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.
