Trump’s Immigration Position in 2013 Was Verbatim the Same as Rubio’s Current Position
Redstate ^ | 1/20/16 | Leon H. Wolf

Just like all the other conservative positions that Donald Trump allegedly holds, the evidence is mounting that he has been an immigration hardliner for about five minutes. Courtesy of Ann Coulter, who somehow thought this would help Trump, here is a tweet from Donald Trump in 2013, explaining that his position is exactly the same as Marco Rubio's:

But remember... It doesn't matter if Trump is a liberal, conservative, or a martian.

He's going to build that wall. And it's going to be a big beautiful wall. It will be fabulous. It will be the greatest wall you have ever seen. Have you ever seen the great wall of China? That wall won't have nothing on this wall.

And uh... did I mention that the wall is going to have a great big beautiful door right smack dab in the middle of it? And we're going to open that door and we're going to let them come right back in...

It’s important to remember that only a few weeks ago, Trump singularly upset the whole election apple cart!

Trump set the national agenda by opposing illegal immigration and bringing up other issues that the GOPe and their allies desperately wanted to avoid, and now they can’t.

The GOPe was not prepared for this, and as a consequence they don’t have a clue about what to do, hence their almost universal collapse into a pile of quivering jello, flip-flopping like a bag of Mexican jumping beans dumped on a hot griddle.

Trump has exposed those who pretend to be conservative but are really just fronts for big money establishment campaign donors who purchase their candidates with campaign “donations”.

Trump, by actually being a real man, has exposed the other candidates (Cruz excepting of course) and their allies for the weak little sniveling sellouts that they really are.

Trump’s vociferous truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media has been the catalyst that triggered a massive revolt amongst conservative voters who are infuriated at the GOPe Congress doing absolutely ZERO to stop Obama’s agenda, and suddenly the GOP RINO leadership is in full blown panic mode and in full blown retreat, and the SMALL conservative House contingent smelt blood in the water, took heart, and charged in against a weakened, frightened and paralyzed GOPe leadership, and Boehner was taken out as a sacrificial lamb.

Trump is absolutely correct when he says that without Trump in the race, everything would be same-ol’, same-ol. The Joyful Tippy-Toes Turtle would be creeping closer to the finish line, Boehner would still be safely ensconced as Speaker, and there would be no mention of illegal immigration are any of the issues surrounding it by any politician in either party, other than possibly how critical it would be to pass immigration “reform”.

The media are loath to make the connection, but it’s obvious that the Boehner resignation was yet another falling domino, toppling due to the Trump Effect, because Trump’s unabashed truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media triggered a revolt amongst the great unwashed GOP masses which emboldened a few conservative Congress critters to grow a few pairs.

And we wouldn’t even be having ANY of these conversations about illegal immigration and the myriad of other Obammunist issues destroying our country if it wasn’t for Trump. Instead, we’d simply be debating which RINO, GOPe squish would be least likely to be stomped by Hillary, and the GOPe would once again be exhorting the “base” about how critical it is for us to once again vote for the “lesser of two evils”, that is, vote for the GOPe side of the Uniparty coin.

And do note that ALL of the oligarchs and plutocrats are frightened to death of Donald Trump because the billionaires and millionaires can’t buy him like all of the other politicians they routinely purchase, because Trump doesn’t need nor want their money, and the kommie media is frightened to death of him because he isn’t afraid of them either, the bottom line being that Donald Trump can not be controlled by the rich and powerful or the corrupt media, so for anyone who is truly for campaign finance reform and wants to take money out of politics, voting for Trump is the only reasonable choice.

President Trump is really the last hope for this country: if he can’t undo any of the damage wrought by the Obammunists, the U.S.A. is done.

So least we forget, the above, and much more, are called “The Trump Effect”.

Trump will likely win in Iowa. But still I’m beginning to feel some sympathy for those here who went all in for him expecting something else.

There is no news there. Trump and Rubio’s position looked the same to me in early Fall.

But I’m still voting for Trump.

All I ever expected him to do is build a wall, start the deportation process, and stop political correctness forever and for all time. Immigration will destroy our country, culturally, politically, and economically.

I agree entirely.

If Trump doesn't do another thing I have sworn I'd vote for him for that single promise.

But I have recently begun to question whether he'd even do that much.

You can’t be serious. He will fill the federal and SC with liberals. Down the road our gun rights will disappear along with many others as the SC and other courts will ALWAYS rule on the liberal side.
He a loud mouthed bully reality star power to suck up the air. He lies and panders and you think that is so great. We are done for already. Trump is where he is because he is a complete jerk and master manipulator. That worked in business.
We are done now.

Don’t you ever sleep?

Drink some warm milk and go to bed early tonight.

Your post are getting tedious and stale..

You post something.. Everyone sees your handle... and they immediately in a nano second decide not to read it.

Seriously, you have zero credibility here...nada...

Start over tomorrow and post something that has some insight about our lives as Americans... and our future...

This dribble you post... is well... just dribble...

Exactly. Ted Cruz was having a cocktail in some DC bar while Kate Steinle was bleeding out in the street in San Francisco. It’s no skin off the back of anybody in the beltway when illegals rape, rob and kill us because they all have walls and armed guards. We don’t.

It was Trump who put the issue of criminal aliens and defending the border into the national agenda. Ever since Cruz has followed Trump on immigration policy by policy. Some people are leaders, some of opportunistic followers. Voters can decide for themselves who is who.

Trump’s comments about Bergdahl and what he’d do to him are enough to get my vote. Paraphrasing, but he said he’d drop Bergdahl from a plane over ISIS territory and then bomb the hell out of it.

He put it on the agenda and we all should appreciate that.

But is he really gonna deport them all period, or is he promising to deport then allow them priority on returning?

Read his own words for yourself.

And if he builds that wall, it’ll be 1000% more effort than any RINO elected since Eisenhower when it comes to actually protecting our sovereignty.

His cred is just fine. People that can’t deal with any negatives about the object of their infatuation have no credibility.

Cruz was fighting against illegals when Trump was still donating to the Clintons. He followed nothing. He led. Trump followed. History is what it is.
