"Donald Trump says that if he had been president in 2001, his
immigration policies would have kept terrorists from attacking the
World
Trade Center on September 11.

"I am extremely, extremely tough on illegal immigration. I'm
extremely
tough on people coming into this country," Trump said on Fox News
Sunday. "I believe that if I were running things, I doubt those
families
would have -- I doubt that those people would have been in the
country."

Donald Trump, the *perfect* asshole candidate for the party of
assholes.
Really. And just behind Trump, another asshole candidate, Ben
Carson.
Crikey.


You (nor I) have no way of knowing if Trump's position on illegal
immigration would have prevented al-Qaeda from sending terrorists to
the USA to attend flight schools in preparation for the 9/11
attacks had
he been POTUS at the time. Warnings of "something is up" were
raised back when Clinton was still in office for cripes sake and he
didn't do anything about it either.

That said, you crack me up (again). In the past you have placed
responsibility for 9/11 squarely on GWB because it happened on his
watch. Trump basically just said the same thing but now he's a
"perfect
asshole" according to you.



I don't recall Trump's policies on immigration in 2001. Do you? And he
wasn't "running things" back then and it isn't likely he'll be
"running
things" beyond his businesses in the future.

I doubt if Trump knew what Bush did or did not do in the lead up to
2001. His knowledge of such things seems non-existent.



Not what Trump said. He said "if" he had been POTUS at the time with
the illegal immigration position that he has described *now*, the
terrorists may not have been able to get into the USA.


And you believe that, right? Hey, Trump, Carson, and the rest of the GOP
wannabe bozos are exactly what the Republicans deserve in
2016...politically naive, ignorant, hate-filled, science-denying idiots
who appeal to the "base" of the party. The only difficult part is to
figure out on a given day which one is the worst.

"If" Trump had been president in 2001, we'd be trying to recover from
global thermonuclear war...

Harry are you scared of Trump? you must be because you blast him
every chance you can.



Why would I be scared of Trump, Tim? I just am enjoying the fact that
your party seems intent on nominating one of several unsuitable flaming
asses for POTUS. Trump, Carson, Cruz, Rubio, Fiorina, Bush, et
cetera...crikey, what a crowd you boys have.



On the other hand, we have a choice of Hillary the Hun who could fool a
polygraph machine or Bernie the Socialist who wants to re-write the
Constitution. Think I'll just sit this one out.


I'd much rather try to choose the lesser of two evils come election day.



You've forgotten where I live. Unless you vote for a Democrat to add to
the overwhelming tally, voting for president is just an exercise.

Massachusetts has gone Republican only 4 times since 1928, twice for
Eisenhower and twice for Reagan. Even George McGovern won the state's
electoral votes in 1974 ... the only state to do so.
