"He had a crazy policy of self-deportation, which was maniacal," Trump told Newsmax. "It sounded as bad as it was, and he lost all of the Latino vote." Trump added that the GOP should develop better policies "with respect to people wanting to be wonderful, productive citizens of this country."
Note the last part where Trump said we should develop policies "with respect to the people wanting to be wonderful, productive citizens of this country". And NOW he has entirely reversed himself and wants to physically deport people when just a couple years ago even self deportation was a terrible idea? And why exactly do you believe Trump now considering all of his flip flips and policy reversals?
No, sorry, this is well beyond just some people caring deeply about a particular issue and supporting a candidate that caters to it. Trump has no history of being a conservative, is not grounded in conservative thought and isn't even consistent on this very issue you (and so many others) claim is the main reason they support Trump. This has veered into cult of personality territory. When Trump contradicts himself or "evolves" all is forgiving, when other candidates do it they are GOPe slugs. This is misplaced celebrity worship for a populist protectionist with many policies that would make a progressive like Bernie Sanders smile in agreement.
I have very little interest in celebrity status of anyone. I have more interest in what they do and will do. As for who is conservative and who has flip flopped, there are many so called conservatives who fit that bill. Do you remember all the conservatives lost in 2012 because THEY RAN OUT OF MONEY. It is as simple as that. We need to get rid of the corruption first. If we vote anyone but Trump we lose and that is the point. They can overwhelm us with money.
