Donald Trump: My Immigration Plans Would Have Prevented 9/11

Donald Trump says that if he had been president in 2001, his immigration policies would have kept terrorists from attacking the World Trade Center on September 11.

"I am extremely, extremely tough on illegal immigration. I'm extremely tough on people coming into this country," Trump said on Fox News Sunday. "I believe that if I were running things, I doubt those families would have -- I doubt that those people would have been in the country."

"Jeb {Bush] said 'we were safe with my brother.' 'We were safe.' Well, the World Trade Center just fell down," Trump continued. "Now, am I trying to blame him? I'm not blaming anybody. But the World Trade Center came down. So when he said, 'we were safe' -- that's not safe. We lost 3,000 people."

"I don't know why he keeps bringing this up," Bush told CNN Sunday. "It doesn't show that he's a serious person as it relates to being commander-in-chief and being the architect of a foreign policy."

Bush said that Trump talks "as though he's still on 'The Apprentice,'"

"I mean, literally, talking about Syria saying 'ISIS should take out Assad, then Russia should take out ISIS' as though it was some kind of board game and not a serious approach is just - this is just another example of the lack of seriousness," Bush said.

Next week Jeb added, "Mr. Trump is probably going to say that FDR was around when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor."

Of course, they both think the United States and the world are board games. The only difference is that Bush thinks he should be the lead central planner and Trump thinks it should be him.

They are both megalomaniacs. The only difference between them is personal style and whose lives they want to interfere with.

Trump is better on taxes, but, overall, he scares me more.

Jeb Bush Fierce Attack Video: Trump Stumped

Of course, Trump and Bush are both dangerous and don't address the "terrorist threat" as blowback to US adventures of the Empire.

WOW Major Republican Establishment Support for Rand Paul

Get this. The former head of the Republican National Committee, Michael Steele, appeared on “NOW with Alex Wagner” and had some very positive things to say about Rand Paul:

What I admire about Rand Paul, and what I appreciate in his effort, is that he is making the effort. He’s been honest and exposing himself a lot more than any Republican potential candidate in three or four cycles and that is almost 30 years. So the reality of it is you’ve got this individual who is reshaping right now, the landscape going into 2016. The Times [sic] called him the most interesting man in politics. I call him the most dangerous man in politics, because he has the ability to draw from the Democrats as well as the Republican bases in a way that could upset a few apple carts if this thing strikes the way he is talking.

 An establishment guy like Steele just doesn't endorse someone like Rand unless Rand has been "cleared." It's another indication that Rand is part of the Bush wing of the Republican party. President  George W.Bush chose Steele to be a member of the U.S. delegation at the investiture of Pope Benedict XVI in Vatican City, along with Jeb Bush.

The questions continue: Why is the establishment so comfortable with Rand. Who is running Rand? Should we be expecting a Jeb Bush-Rand Paul Republican ticket?
