But she will say.. Amnesty for all Illegals..
Amnesty for Americans is what we should be interested in. Fortress North America, every kilometer of coastline bristling with anti-this and that, walls and fences so they can't get to you. You're safe, from them but
Yesterday on “The Eric Metaxas Show,” Ann Coulter repeated her claim that God is using Donald Trump to save the U.S. — and all of civilization — from destruction.
Coulter started off the interview by defending herself from charges that she’s “divisive,” noting that Jesus Christ was divisive as well.
“Yeah, I’m ‘divisive’ because I say things I believe, generally, so does Jesus, and liberals yell at me, that makes me ‘divisive.’ It’s the hecklers’ veto,” she said.
She went on to liken the media’s treatment of her to how it covers Donald Trump, whom she believes will save the U.S. and, therefore, the whole world. “We are talking about the future of not only of America but of the last genuinely Christian country on earth and thus the world,” she said.
“If we lose America, it is lights out for the entire world for a thousand years.” Coulter explained that God has a role in lifting up Trump’s candidacy: “It is like the fall of Rome but, thank God, and I am not using the Lord’s name in vain, I mean that absolutely literally, thank God for raising up Donald Trump and giving us a chance to save the country.”
“Unless Donald Trump is elected, we’re never going to have another Republican president,” Coulter added, warning that having another Democrat in the White House would mean that “it’s over” and “the country is finished” because there will be a “Supreme Court of nine Ruth Bader Ginsburgs.”
If Trump loses, Coulter said, she will probably “stop wasting my time on politics” since “a Republican can never be elected president” if the country fails to enact severe restrictions on immigration. “What is the point of talking about abortion or anything else unless you get Donald Trump in to build the wall, deport illegals, end this ‘anchor baby’ nonsense, stop importing 100,000 Muslims a year, in addition to two million Third Worlders per year,” she said. “It’s madness what this country has been doing.”
Coulter went on to say that President Trump should “deport [Sen. Marco] Rubio”.

Donald Trump's Finest Moment
The Republican frontrunner offered a stirring defense of New York, breaking from his usual form on a night when so much else seemed all too familiar.
In a debate filled with barbs, put-downs, interruptions, and insults, Donald Trump didn’t separate himself from the rest of the field by being more combative or more outrageous—although at moments, he was clearly trying. Trump, instead, set himself apart by delivering a ringing defense of the “New York values” that Senator Ted Cruz accused him of embodying. “New York is a great place,” he said. “It's got great people, it's got loving people, wonderful people. When the World Trade Center came down, I saw something that no place on Earth could have handled more beautifully, more humanely than New York.” His tone turned somber:

And the people in New York fought and fought and fought, and we saw more death, and even the smell of death—nobody understood it. And it was with us for months, the smell, the air. And we rebuilt downtown Manhattan, and everybody in the world watched and everybody in the world loved New York and loved New Yorkers.
It was Trump’s best moment of the campaign: a stirring tribute to a cosmopolitan city, and an invocation of national unity, beating back a crude attempt to divide Americans against each other.

Yep it sure is. The Republican cycle of utter stupidity has soared to new heights. Who better to endorse an ignorant, racist blowhard than a woman who epitomizes all of those qualities and who was a major factor in the defeat of John McCain?
Interesting that Trump , aka Mr. Reality show is kicking the rest of the GOP's butts. Kind of tells you a little about the shape of that party.
It most certainly does and the GOP has no one to blame except themselves.
No lie. Rubio is the best of them, now that Lindsey Graham is out, and he's getting drowned in the BS.
Same on the Dem side. O'Malley's the only one I'd let borrow my car, and he's out. I think the only reason he's staying is hope he'll get picked up as VP.
When you observe a person, especially a politician, you look for some redeeming qualities as a human being. One quality I look for, and all of us could use a bigger measure, is humility. When I look at Trump, how he carries himself, how he talks and what he says, I for one cannot detect one speck of humility in the man. None. Nada. To me, that says there is something seriously wrong with the person psychologically.

OTTAWA - He may be topping the charts among U.S. Republicans, but Canadian voters don't have much taste for Donald Trump, according to a new poll provided exclusively to Sun Media.
Trump, the billionaire New York businessman, seems poised to win the Iowa caucus on Feb. 1 and the New Hampshire primary a week later according to the latest U.S. polls. Most pundits south of the border believe the Republican race will come down to two men: Trump and Canadian-born Texas Senator Ted Cruz.
Both those choices are unpalatable to the sensibilities of the Canadian voter.
Mainstreet Research said 70% of those surveyed have an "unfavourable" view of Trump compared to 19% who had a favourable view. Just 2% said they weren't familiar enough with Trump to make a judgement and the rest -- 9% -- were undecided.
And while Canadians clearly have definite views about Trump, not so many know enough about Cruz to come to a decision. Mainstreet said 21% have a favourable view, 32% have an unfavourable view and 48% are unsure or are not familiar enough with him.
When asked who they'd vote for, if they could, from the Republican slate, 16% of Canadian voters picked Trump and 10% picked Cruz but a whopping 50% picked nobody, checking off the undecided box.
On the Democrat side of the ledger, 39% of respondents to Mainstreet's poll would vote for Hillary Clinton if they could while 26% would pick her main challenger Bernie Sanders, the populist senator from Vermont. Most of the rest, 32%, were undecided.
Mainstreet surveyed 4,937 using an automated telephone technology on Jan. 15. It says the results are accurate to within 1.4% 19 times out of 20.

Confident Trump says could 'shoot somebody' and not lose voters

PELLA, Iowa /ANKENY, Iowa - U.S. Republican front-runner Donald Trump expressed confidence on Saturday that he could push back attempts by his rivals to knock him off his top perch, saying he could stand on New York's Fifth Avenue "and shoot somebody," and still not lose voters.
Nine days from the first nominating contest in Iowa, however, it was Republican rival Marco Rubio who won the endorsement Saturday from the Des Moines Register, the state's biggest and most influential newspaper. On the Democratic side, the Register picked Hillary Clinton.
The endorsements were big developments for both Rubio and Clinton. Rubio, a Florida senator, has been running third behind Trump and Texas Senator Ted Cruz in Iowa, while Clinton has struggled to fend off a challenge to the Democratic nomination from Bernie Sanders.
Trump and Cruz, Trump's chief obstacle to a victory in Iowa, held competing rallies across the state while in New Hampshire, other candidates battled for votes in that state's Feb. 9 first-in-the-nation primary for the Nov. 8 election.
Trump, the New York billionaire and former reality TV star who has been virtually impervious to attacks from his opponents, pushed the limits of his political rhetoric again in Sioux Center, Iowa.
"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters," he said.
Trump has been a difficult target for criticism from his rivals because not all of his supporters are conservatives and many are most interested in his projection of strength, not where he stands on a particular issue.
The latest Reuters-Ipsos tracking poll had Trump pulling in 40.6% support of Republican voters nationally. A CNN/ORC poll has Trump up in Iowa with 37% to 26% for Cruz, who has led in some other Iowa polls.
Trump did not repeat the "shoot somebody" line at a later rally in Pella, while stressing to the crowd there that he would tone down his rhetoric as president.
BECK BACKS CRUZ
Cruz responded to Trump at an event in Ankeny, where he picked up the endorsement of conservative firebrand Glenn Beck, a counterweight of sorts to Trump's endorsement by 2008 vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.
"Listen, I will let Donald speak for himself. I can say I have no intention of shooting anybody in this campaign," Cruz said.
Beck was more direct.
"There is one thing to have a healthy ego, there is another to give a man who believes those kind of things, who has a habit of anyone who stands in his way of destruction," Beck said. "To give that man the full power and scope of the office of the presidency is something we will grow to regret."
Iowa Republican Senator Chuck Grassley was an introductory speaker at Trump's Pella event. Grassley did not endorse Trump but repeated Trump's signature phrase, saying Republicans have a chance to "make America great again."
During his speech, Trump called Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly biased and said she should not be a moderator at a Fox-hosted Republican debate in Des Moines on Thursday. Kelly's questioning at an Aug. 6 debate in Cleveland had prompted Trump to unleash a series of insults at her.
There was no indication that Fox planned to remove her as a moderator.
"Megyn Kelly has no conflict of interest. Donald Trump is just trying to build up the audience for Thursday's debate, for which we thank him," said a Fox News spokesperson.
BLOOMBERG CONSIDERING INDEPENDENT BID
The potential for more chaos in what has been a turbulent race on both the Republican and Democratic sides emerged on Saturday with the news that former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg might launch an independent run for president.
A source said part of Bloomberg's concern was the problem that Clinton is having in defeating Sanders.
"I hope he runs," Trump told reporters in Pella.
At a First In The Nation forum for candidates in Nashua, New Hampshire, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush was notably withering in his criticism of Trump.
He reminded voters of Trump's dismissal of Senator John McCain as not a hero because he got captured during the Vietnam War. McCain spent 5-1/2 years as a prisoner of war. He was a two-time winner of the New Hampshire primary and the 2012 Republican presidential nominee.
"It is not strong to insult women. It is not a sign of strength when you insult Hispanics. It is not a sign of strength when you say that a POW was a loser because they got caught. John McCain is a hero," Bush said.
