Donald Trump on Monday did not refute a report claiming he told The New York Times editorial board in an off-the-record meeting that his immigration views are in fact more flexible than he has made them seem throughout his presidential campaign.
"Everything is negotiable," Trump said Monday on Fox News, responding to a question about whether the report, which undermines Trump's hardline stance on immigration, was accurate.

Reading the comments on this subject, it’s amazing how others read Trump’s statement. You would have answered the question the same way. To take a sentence out of a conversation, you’d all look guilty of whatever anyone wanted to use your words and charge you with.
I want someone who is not part of the GOP and that person could very well be a question on how he’d do it and what he’d do. I see Trump as getting things done in a hurry.. government usually takes too long to do anything. I see Trump as a man who would go to congress and be able to persuade them ... he doesn’t take no for an answer... and he would probably be working on common sense... that would work for me.. common sense trumps a college degree.
Why is he afraid to tell us what was discussed?
Maybe because we would MISINTERPRET it ??
Yes in ‘24, Cruz will be wiser, more experienced, and more formidable a candidate
And still Cubanadian <====
. . . investigate the harmful additives in Vaccines . . .
hmmm do you suppose our vaccines have the sterilizations in them too ?
Ted’s a master at lies of omission. Any honest person can see it.
What lie are you inventing?But... you just omitted...
Empty promises from a man with deep pockets
Or maybe he'll just call all of his opponents liars and hypocrites.
None of this matters to Trump supporters. Mr. Trump himself said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose any supporters.
What will he find to do on his second day in office/sarc.
Really, you can’t be serious. Almost every item you listed is a legislative prerogative, Trump can’t do almost any of it.
Would you also like him to help find your lost dog, or stop the seas rising, oh wait, that’s Obummer.
You Trumpkins are sounding moonbat crazy.
I’m sure of that.
This moron was here ten years before you and has seen a blue million faux conservatives jerk our chains. Donald is just anther in a long long line.
Personally, I would rather have a leader who, once exposed to the facts may have a change of mind when it relates to making good decisions. If that is how Trump chooses to operate, I respect that, at least he is not so hard headed he will drive straight into a brick wall.
Enthusiastic Trump supporters appear to view him as a messiah come to save them, the unspoken thought being that he must really care about them and want what’s best for them. But they have forgotten that no man or woman is born good but rather that evil cuts right through the hearts of all humans. Thus the possibility of evil-—betrayal, treachery, etc.-— always exists. With respect to Trump, his excruciatingly filthy laundry is destined to be broadcast to the entire nation if he is nominated: http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/hillary-waits-to-eviscerate-trump-with-a-parade-of-his-victims/article/2584262
So would I, but the poster seemed to think that someone’s stance against the Donald should put them on the enemies list for party betrayal when his leader has threatened to quit the party any number of times to emphasize a temper tantrum.
I'm still against abortion. I'm still against the promotion and celebration of homosexual and lesbian marriage. I'm still against removing God and any and all references to him in the public square. I'm still against big government. I'm still against runaway spending and the further indebtedness being hoisted upon our children & grandchildren. I'm still against political correctness. I'm still against laws that favor certain ethnicities, sexual preference, or any other definable segment of the population over other segments of the population. I'm still against crony capitalism and government choosing and the winners and losers. I'm still against U.S. involvement in the U.N.
I'm still for freedom. I'm still for the Constitution as the law of the land. I'm still for sovereignty. I'm still for ensuring the integrity of our borders. I'm still for honesty and integrity.
Bottom line is that any person you cast your vote for could turn out to have been telling you whatever it is they thought you wanted to hear but had no intention of following through once they have secured the office they seek.. If Donald proves himself to be one of those then I can pretty much guarantee that all of his supporters will join forces with you to fight him tooth and nail.
I doubt either side of the Uniparty will refuse to join us, along with the press as well.
It all really comes down to choices.
Ted Cruz does not have enough support to carry a general election even if it is determined that he is eligible.
Marco Rubio may just be the only candidate that might cause me to sit at home and not vote, which has never happened and I have never voted 3rd patty or Democrat.
John Kasich, I would vote for but with no enthusiasm or expectation that he would win the general election.
Carson is a good man, but not really a strong leader, so again no enthusiasm or expectation of any meaningful change except that he might be a real healer between the races. Also not sure he could actually win the general election either.
Anyone the GOPe puts up as a convention selection, I would vote for, but only in opposition to Hillary or whomever the Democrat candidate is.
So I am left with Donald Trump, who despite all of his warts I do find to be a strong leader who hopefully will lead as promised and deliver on his stated campaign goals.
The fact that he scares the bejeebers out of the establishment, the press, and the Democrats is a very solid plus.
Core conservative values that sells out the country under the banner of Free Trade. No sale.
Actually sandy siol has good drainage and make for a solid foundation.
Trump is going to be very surprised when he runs up against people in Congress on both sides of the aisle who recognize that some things are not.
I heard trump with my own ears say that the policy wasn’t negotiable, but the construction and details were. IOW, he’s talking about things like design, location, etc.
It’s just more misrepresentation of the point while broadcasting just a snippet.
