Okay, fair enough...reasonable thought process^^^ above. And I mean that, your point is valid so it is worth examining piece by piece. First, he "promises to end the invasion." GOOD. That's where we need to start. Agreed. But he's not the only, or the first, to say this. Maybe he's the most effective at rallying people on it, but that's not the same as being the only or the first.
He also "promises to send illegals home as a priority." The problem here is, is that the priority? Or is stopping the invasion the priority? Kate Steinle was murdered by an illegal who had been DEPORTED FIVE TIMES - SENT HOME FIVE TIMES - meaning he snuck in at least six times to this country. So it seems to me the issue that MUST MUST MUST be handled first is the border, stopping the invasion.
Now you say he's backing away from that too a bit. Perhaps it's because he's started to calculate the unthinkable logistical mountain that "sending them all back" will be. Or perhaps he's started to think about how Americans, who may support deportation now, will react to the first Elian Gonzales type video that goes viral of a family being ripped apart by SWAT looking government officers.
I don't know. So while Trump has done us all a tremendous favor with how he's set political correctness back 50 years and how he's sent mortal fear through the establishment....maybe a pause to examine his "promises" and bluster is worth the time. Perhaps there are candidates who will actually deliver more, even as they are not as charismatic and powerful as a personality.
A month ago I thought he would flash then crash but he don’t seem to be even though he is turning into just another nuanced hack. Curious.
