ROGER SIMON: The Donald Gets Booed!

Trump’s attack on Rubio over immigration isn’t as simple as it would appear superficially.  Donald, up until quite recently, was on virtually every side of everything himself.  Just like Rubio, the supposed squish of the Gang of Eight, he is a relatively newborn immigration hawk.

But which one is telling the truth now?  My guess is both.  There’s been so much attention focused on the issue it’s unlikely either would back down. Trump deserves credit for raising the immigration issue, but, believe it or not, there are other issues just as, possibly more, important. As I write, Putin seems to have moved in on not just Syria, but also Iraq.  He has air power in both now, in open alliance with Iran, the soon to be rolling in American dollars nuclear armed religious fascism.  Bashar Assad looks to be safe as the Southern tier of a re-upped Soviet Union.  (Didn’t we beat those guys?)  Xi Jinping apparently has given little, if anything, in negotiations with Obama on cyber security, the South China Sea or anything else.  It’s not just our Southern border that is under siege.  Thanks to the worst president in our history, the USA is turning into the ghost of itself and taking the world down with it.

Who is the right person to right this ship?  Maybe it takes someone with the bluster and moxie of Trump, a take no prisoners person.  But before we commit, we should make bloody well sure that’s what he really is.
