Currier said that Trump’s stand on immigration has struck a chord with many in Oregon. Trump has spoken often on the subject, and has campaigned on a platform of stricter regulations. He has also said he wants to build a wall between the United States and Mexico to help fortify the border.
Currier said those views resonate with many voters in Oregon.
“He’s obviously connecting with people on the topic of immigration, or I don’t think his support would be as strong,” he said.
He noted that immigration has been a hot topic in Oregon recently, and said that the defeat of a provision that would have provided driver cards to those who cannot prove their legal residency is a prime example.
“Immigration in Oregon is a major issue right now,” he said. “Measure 88 failed by a margin of two-to-one, and I think you’re seeing that reflected in his support.”
John Horvick, vice president and political director of DHM, said Trump’s views on immigration appeal to voters who value that issue above all others. He agreed it has helped his campaign in Oregon.
“Immigration is one of the issues that if it maters to people, then it really matters to people,” he said. “I think the language he’s using on the subject is really resonating with people who care about that.”

“TRACK RECORD of implementing conservatism. “
Huh?
The closest anyone is to having a history of implementing conservatism is Walker.
Yes, I was talking about Walker.
Walker does, in fact, have a series of enviable accomplishments.
But 3 positions in 7 days on anchor babies?
That smacks of being guided by someone with a remote control.
Actually, if you listen to his words, and not the interpretation, he is not changing.
He is against anchor babies and he is against changing the 14th amendment. That is not inconsistent. That is the same position as many others.
But the reporters never dig for the details. Instead, the reporters go for the headline.
“He is against anchor babies and he is against changing the 14th amendment.”
Huh?
