Yes, definitely enough said. It's time to elect an Executive Branch that will uphold the Constitution. And when Donald J. Trump sits salmly and quietly opposite the Fox Clown, Bill O'Reilly, and says "I don't believe they're American citizens", then he is the man to uphold our Constitution and enforce our laws.

But I'm a Pro-Choice, FairTax supporter and am holding out for Leverage. Donald J. Trump, when you announce support for the FairTax, I'll put signs in my yard and send you money.
