Donald Trump announces he has been invited by the Border Patrol in Texas to visit the border region. Immediately former Texas governor, and U.S. presidential candidate, Rick Perry erupts in fury against Trump. Disconnected? Of course not.

Rick Perry is a one percent polling presidential candidate who has surged to a whopping 3% by added the optic of nerdy smart glasses to his presidential candidacy in a transparent effort to improve public opinion of his intellect; but his Achilles heel is, and will always be, illegal immigration.

Donald Trump has exposed the weakness within the GOP on the subject of immigration, illegal aliens and border security. Despite his protestation to the contrary, Rick Perry did little to change the Texas/Mexico lawless border; and, as evidenced by his own Texas crime statistics, had over 600,000 violent, felonious alien criminal arrests in just the last three years while he was governor.

Perry knows the appearance of Trump in his home turf, talking about the illegal alien problem, and promising to build a border wall as president, has all the potential makings of the last nail in the Perry-as-candidate coffin. Rick Perry doesn’t believe a wall or fence will work – because Rick Perry doesn’t believe that buckets can hold water. (more…)

IOWA – With just two weeks to go before Fox News hosts the first Republican presidential debate of the 2016 cycle, real estate mogul Donald Trump looks increasingly well-positioned to claim center stage.

The mother of a murder victim, Laura Wilkerson, delivered powerful testimony today before congress, and thanked Donald Trump during her remarks at the hearing. Breitbart.com reported:

During the hearing, titled “Oversight of the Administration’s Misdirected Immigration Enforcement Policies: Examining the Impact on Public Safety and Honoring the Victims,” Wilkerson broke from her written testimony to deliver a dire warning.

“This was our family’s 9/11 terrorist attack by a foreign invader,” she said at the most pivotal point in her testimony. “It is going to take another life lost by a Senator, a Congressman, the President, even another of today’s heroes, someone from Hollywood before someone in a position moves on this.”

West Long Branch, NJ – The Monmouth University Poll of likely Iowa Republican caucusgoers finds Scott Walker in the lead and Donald Trump in second place. The poll did not find any significant change in support for Trump in interviews conducted after his comments about John McCain’s military service.

The poll also found that Bobby Jindal makes his way into the second tier of candidates, doing better in Iowa than in the national polls. (more…)

As part of the most progressive alignment within the GOP John McCain has a habit of attacking anyone he politically disagrees with, including his own constituents. Previously he’s called conservatives “Hobbits“, “Jihadists“, “Whacko-birds“, and now “Crazies“.

Because McCain has worked specifically to undermine his own state, the Arizona Republican Party has twice voted to censure McCain for his insufferable work to advance the policies of President Obama.

The resolution condemns McCain “for his continued disservice to our state and nation,” and said state Republican leaders “will no longer support, campaign for or endorse John McCain as our U.S. Senator.”

In this interview today John McCain, refuses to apologize and mentions “town hall meetings”.  It should be noted that McCain cancelled his town halls because he was getting too much backlash from his constituents.  (more…)

Donald Trump spoke to ABC’s This Week Sunday morning, his first televised interview since his comments on Senator John McCain’s (R-AZ) war heroics roiled the GOP yesterday. Trump referenced THIS ARTICLE by Sharyl Attkisson. Uber-liberal pundit Martha Raddatz rolls her eyes and tries to advocate a position of controversy.

Great interview with Ann Coulter and Larry Elder. While the primary topic is immigration and all of the ramifications from illegal aliens and legal aliens, much of the conversation is also discussing presidential politics.

Ann Coulter’s pick is @25:50

*In an affirmation moment, Ann Coulter also talks about CPAC being entirely owned/operated by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce now.
