Where are all the posters claiming Trump flip-flopped on illegals? Crickets?
I guess CNN doesn’t realize that their headline is exactly what most Americans want to hear.
They’re a cabal of pointy headed ivory tower liberals who don’t have a clue what it’s like to live in the real world.
They’re playing right into Trumps masterful hands.
“The Republican presidential nominee on Wednesday re-upped the harsh immigration rhetoric that electrified his primary campaign”
Now CNN considers THE TRUTH Harsh Rhetoric!” Who knew?
He zeroed in on criminal aliens. You gotta believe this will be attractive to a broad audience.
I am getting the impression that the media are acting like a fish on a hook: first twisting this way, and then that way (”Hey! Trump is bad because...”). However, nothing seems to work.
IIRC, they did not start using Teflon when referring to RR until *after* the 1980 election...
CNN tried to sow doubt about Trump’s policy convictions. The attempt was obviously false from the get go, just like the current claims by CNN are false. Trump isn’t lying about his policies.
Most Americans in the middle play by the rules and are tired of being made to feel guilty for having to pay for failed social experiments by people who ignore laws.
This was a fine speech and it will resonate with them.
BWAHAHAHAHA
Take that doubters
He baited the media into playing his speech live.
Can we all now just trust the guy that he means what he says and stop listening to the MSM!
The talking heads (including Hill) who think that a presidential candidate should do hardline negotiating with a foreign head of state prior to being elected, have no clue what they are talking about.
And Hillary and Company needs to get it straight - Tweeting out Trump ‘failed’ after a single meeting is contradictory to Hillary’s admonishing tweet that relationships require ‘multiple’ nicey-nicey meetings before hardline negotiating. Can’t have it both ways. And nobody’s buying it.
I would be glad to have a serious, tough president again. He is what we need.
many will leave before deportation just because Trump took a hard line..yep we need this man for president
Wait... Do non-criminals get to pay a fine and back-taxes? Aprender inglés perhaps?
Trump yesterday and for days, months and a year or more running, has played the RINOs, Dems & MSM like a fiddle!
They all swore that Trump has/will pivot and be no more that Jeb Version 2.0 as per his NEWLY hatched immigration policies!
They salivated yesterday after his Mexico visit and salivated more just waiting to tell US true believers how we’ve been had by Trump!
And now today/this morning they are back to telling US that DT is insane and unfit because he actually wants to enforce the Borders and the Law!
Trump! I love you Man:-) You did not disappoint last night!
I will be sending this to our local Fox tv station and telling them to stop lying about Trump abandoning his stand against illegals.
Thanks for posting, and glad we are both still around to post and read good posts.
Trump’s Immigration Speech - Persuasion Score

And that’s how a Master Persuader runs in two directions at the same time. It was masterfully done. I give Trump’s speech an A+ for persuasion. Trump won the week. His poll numbers should move up again next week.
Also, Trump stuck the landing by engineering what I call the reverse-Khan. He surrounded himself with the families of victims of illegal immigrants so that any criticism of his policies will feel uncomfortably close to insulting those grieving families.

I see the CNN trope-of-the-moment has turned from “flip-flop” and “softening” to “hard-line”. Amazing how that works out. Oceana, you know, has always been at war with Eastasia...
