Real Clear Politics Avg — Donald Trump Leads All Candidates
However according to a new CBS/NYTimes poll Dr. Ben Carson leads GOP field nationally unless of course, one views the latest One America News Network Survey which indicates that Trump leads Carson by 14 points nationwide.
What’s one to make of all this?
Public opinion polls are inherently wrong as ‘there’s a whole lot of fibbin’ going on out there’ between voters and pollsters.

(LA Times) Fueled by derision for politics as usual, Donald Trump has vaulted to the top of the Republican field among California voters according to a new USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll taken from the 29 August through 08 September, conducted by the Democratic pollster Greenberg Quinlan Roner Research & Republican pollster American Viewpoint.
According to Greenberg Quinlan Roner, “The study included an oversample of 400–Latino registered voters” total number of Latino voters sampled was 513 of the random sample survey of 1,500 respondents.
So much for the constant drumbeat by ‘Democrat Talking Heads’ of how Latino voters are expected to vote–doesn’t seem they’re listening to them either.
(Adobo Chronicles) At least three (some may argue four) of Donald Trump’s five children are ‘Anchor Babies’ and could face deportation by ICE under Trump’s own immigration proposal. — Wrong!
While it is true, Mr. Trump’s first wife Ivana was born what’s now the Czech Republic, was living in Canada until at least 1976 and did not become a U.S. Citizen until 1988 and that: Donald Trump, Jr was born in 1977 Ivanka was born in 1981 and Eric was born in 1984
It is clear upon further investigation, that my initial premise questioning whether or not Mr. Trump is the biological father of the three Trump children was wrong and I’m sorry.
I should not have made the claims that I had without more evidence to support it and for this I apologize.
Mr. Trump is the biological father of the three Trump children mentioned herein and as a result thereof I apologize for suggesting otherwise without more evidence than I had to support my initial claim.
As to Trump’s position on ‘anchor babies’ I find it to be constitutionally flawed as I have earlier written and again here. Trump can not support the position that he makes in law or fact.
As for, Donald Trump, Jr together with his siblings Ivanka and Eric, they are in-fact American born citizens just as certain as Sen. Ted Cruz is and is eligible to seek the presidency as Neal Katyal and Paul Clement argued in a well reasoned and sound legal treatise at 128 Harvard Law Review F. 161
Regardless of my erroneous argument earlier made here, Donald Trump’s ‘immigration proposal’ challenging the Constitutionality of birthright citizenship of babies born to ‘undocumented (or as some would prefer illegal) immigrant’ mothers remains seriously flawed pursuant to the 14th Amendment and 117 years of legal precedent established by U.S. -v- Wong Kim Ark 169 U.S. 649 (1898)
In 2010 I argued here when the State of Arizona was attempting to deny birthright citizenship to babies born of undocumented immigrant mothers, Arizona has:
“…reopened century old wounds, resurrecting prejudice, bigotry and hatred of others–was immorally shameful” and violative of the Constitution.
In 2012 the U.S. Supreme Ct in the matter of Arizona -v- United States, Case No. 11-182 declared Arizona statute ‘S.B. 1070’ unconstitutional.
Present Day: U.S Federal Debt –U.S. Debt Clock
(Newsmax) Completing construction of the ‘Great Wall of Mexico’ to discourage illegal immigration along our Southern border would cost Billions, though experts disagree how many.
With an $18.373 Trillion mushrooming federal debt how does Trump realistically propose to pay for the border fence should Mexico, despite Trump’s ‘great negotiating skills’ refuse to do so?
The federal government starting in the 1990s built one section of a double and triple layered fence–near San Diego, then between passage of the 2006 law and January, 2013 the Feds erected 651 miles (exact length appears to be in dispute) of mostly single layer fencing across our Southern border which cost taxpayers some $2.4 Billion
The ‘Dept of Homeland Security’ has reportedly said that different types of fencing have been put up along sections of the Southern border according to the Washington Examiner this week. In total, some 352 miles have a fence at a cost of over $7 Million a mile, at that rate a full fence would cost at least $11.7 Billion (a wall would cost considerably more) not to mention all of the additional ongoing outlays which would include: lighting, more checkpoints, cameras, vehicle barriers, airport style metal detectors and personnel costs for a total cost of how much?
These are fair questions for voters and for Mr. Trump to provide answers to. While one may be willing to give Mr. Trump, the benefit of the doubt to his response nearly 5 months out before the first GOP primary ballots are cast next year that he’ll “build a great wall” this however, is not an answer that voters (taxpayers) should be willing to accept without more clear and concise answers.
One may be assured if Republicans and Tea Party Conservatives don’t demand answers from Mr. Trump going into 2016 that Democrats and Independents most certainly will.

Why Not Trump For President? At least Trump has plenty of Executive level experience (much more so than Obama ever had before he sought the presidency or Hillary Clinton could ever hope to have) Trump has created tens of thousands of ‘private sector’ jobs–many more jobs than Hillary Clinton has and at least Trump knows where jobs come from.
