The focus never was on what he said, only what the political elites deem “offensive.” With the exception of Cruz, I have not heard one person address the substance of what Trump said.
Yes, and those fence sitters and appeasers and equivocators will pay the price in their poll numbers after the debates.
They intentionally confused/obfuscated the “illegal” aspect and subsumed it to “immigrant,” a position from which they could haughtily and self-righteously argue.
If it weren’t for the real reasons: Democrat votes and RINO cheap labor, they wouldn’t have any other reason - illegals certainly don’t bring any substantive productive value with them - only problems and trouble. But the prize for them is just way to damned big! Imagine 50 million new Democrat votes.
