Trump And Clinton Viewed As Most Capable Of Addressing Terrorism

The race for the Republican nomination now seems to be coming down to a debate that has actually been going on inside the Republican Party for a few time now, namely what it means to be a “conservative” and what that means for the future direction of the Republican Party itself. The Cruz-backed bill replaced the expired Patriot Act, which Rubio wanted to renew.

Exactly how did Donald Trump – in just five months – go from being, for Latinos, a symbol of success to the embodiment of hate?

Carson has been less aggressive in talking about the terrorist threat, though campaign manager Barry Bennett disagreed with the suggestion that other candidates are better versed in foreign policy.

The latest episode of the Trump telenovela is surreal, as he has chosen to resurrect the historical black eye known as Operation Wetback. In 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower removed more than 1 million Mexicans – along with Mexican-American US citizens who got caught in the net. People were beaten and tossed in railroad cars. Families were divided. Yet the GOP front-runner wants to create a “deportation force” and be like Ike. “It’s also about choosing our next commander-in-chief, and I will be laying out, in detail, what I think we need to do with our friends and allies in Europe and elsewhere to do a better job of coordinating efforts against the scourge of terrorism”.

Relaunch Operation Wetback? You might as well suggest bringing back Jim Crow and interning Japanese-Americans. But its greatness comes from being able to purge the venom from its bloodstream. After Paris, Trump’s pitch to voters has been based on strength and aggression, though it is devoid of many details. “If Putin wants to go and knock the hell out of ISIS, I am all for it, 100 percent, and I can’t understand how anybody would be against it”, Mr. Trump said of Vladimir V. Putin, the Russian president.

Many non-Latinos think the only thing Latinos are upset about is the fact that Trump opposes illegal immigration. The Republican candidates are serving a hot plate of fear to their followers who relish the dish. But only one is hated by Latinos: Trump. “And either they win or we win”. Trump said of the former Hewlett-Packard CEO in a Rolling Stone profile. “We have a lot of the same ideas”. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They had assumed that they would fade by now, but they haven’t!

Taking these people is absolute insanity, Trump added. South Florida Republican Carlos Curbelo says he has no regrets about supporting Bush so early. So what’s love got to do with it? Both are seen as stronger on foreign policy than Trump and his main Republican rival, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, neither of whom have any experience in government and are running as Washington outsiders. A number of Senate Republicans represent states where Medicaid was expanded under the law to provide coverage to more of the lowest-income residents. I thought Trump was the one making a fuss about such distinctions. Now he lumps all Mexicans together?

However, he said that none of the characters on the series measure up to represent Trump.

The most important part of this poll, however, is the demise of Rand Paul. He called undocumented Mexican immigrants “rapists” and “criminals”.

Jeb Bush chose to “actively explore” a 2016 presidential bid after conversations with his family over Thanksgiving, he said in a Facebook post Tuesday, December 16, 2014.
