Trump: "I’m changing it, and I’m softening the position" - what is he changing and softening?
March 4, 2016 | self

He stated this morning that he wasn't talking about H-1B:"Megyn Kelly asked about highly-skilled immigration. The H-1B program is neither high-skilled nor immigration".

So what WAS he talking about? What's his new position and how was his old position different? Will he ever tell us?

But Trump is bragging about flexibility. Is it good or bad. Sometimes posts are a little cryptic.

It may just be me but when you have had a major change in positions over the years, you don't go into the election year still being position flexible. What is the flexible position between pro-choice and pro-life? What is the flexible position between gun rights and gun control? What is the flexible position between the Bill of Rights and governmental interference with those rights?

Only a few weeks ago, Trump singularly upset the whole election apple cart! That’s what he’s done!

Trump set the national agenda by opposing illegal immigration and bringing up other issues that the GOPe and their allies desperately wanted to avoid, and now they can’t. No one would even be talking about illegal immigration today if Trump hadn’t forced the issue.

The GOPe was not prepared for this, and as a consequence they don’t have a clue about what to do, hence their almost universal collapse into a pile of quivering jello, flip-flopping like a bag of Mexican jumping beans dumped on a hot griddle. That’s what Trump has done.

Trump has exposed those who pretend to be conservative but are really just fronts for big money establishment campaign donors who purchase their candidates with campaign “donations”. Trump has ripped the facade off of the fake “conservative” websites that are really fronts for the modern aristocracy as part of the plan to fool the people into thinking at least SOME of the institutions are on their side.That’s what Trump has done.

Trump, by actually being a real man, has exposed the other candidates and their allies for the weak little sniveling sellouts that they really are.

Trump’s vociferous truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media have been the catalyst that triggered a massive revolt amongst conservative voters who are infuriated at the GOPe Congress doing absolutely ZERO to stop Obama’s agenda, and suddenly the GOP RINO leadership is in full blown panic mode and in full blown retreat, and the SMALL conservative House contingent smelt blood in the water, took heart, and charged in against a weakened, frightened and paralyzed GOPe leadership, and Boehner was taken out as a sacrificial lamb. That’s what Trump has done.

Without Trump taking on the enemedia and beating them, the first time this has been done since Reagan, Cruz and the rest would be quivering before their concerted assaults and spending all of their time apologizing for having accidentally strayed into the shallows of political correctness and saying something Black Lives Matter or the Southern Poverty Law Center hate groups hated with consequent massive amplification by the enemedia as they pounded their PC drums against the GOP. That’s what Trump has done.

Trump is absolutely correct when he says that without Trump in the race, everything would be same-ol’, same-ol. The Joyful Tippy-Toes Turtle would be creeping closer to the finish line, Boehner would still be safely ensconced as Speaker, and there would be no mention of illegal immigration are any of the issues surrounding it by any politician in either party, other than possibly how critical it would be to pass immigration “reform”. That’s what Trump has done.

After only four state primar elections, Trump has already taken out all but one GOP RINO candidate. That’s what Trump has done.

Trump has used the enemedia against itself, exposed FNC for being Rupert Murdoch’s personal propaganda channel, and made the other cable networks realize they can grow their ratings by playing more fairly. That’s what Trump has done.

Trump has attracted the “big tent” coalition that the GOPe always professed it wanted, but never really did, by appealing equally to all demographic groups, whether they be rich or poor, educated or uneducated, old or young, male or female, blue collar or white collar, north or south, east or west. That’s what Trump has done.

The media are loath to make the connection, but it’s obvious that the Boehner resignation was yet another falling domino, toppling due to the Trump Effect, because Trump’s unabashed truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media triggered a revolt amongst the great unwashed GOP masses which emboldened a few conservative Congress critters to grow a few pairs. That’s what Trump has done.

Trump’s coalition of voters have panicked the Senate into growing a backbone and standing up to Obama by refusing to consider any Supreme Court nominee until the next President is in office. That’s what Trump has done.

And our nation wouldn’t even be having ANY of these conversations about illegal immigration and the myriad of other Obammunist issues destroying our country if it wasn’t for Trump. Instead, we’d simply be debating which RINO, GOPe squish would be least likely to be stomped by Hillary, and the GOPe would once again be exhorting the “base” about how critical it is for us to once again vote for the “lesser of two evils”, that is, vote for the GOPe side of the Uniparty coin. That’s what Trump has done.

And do note that ALL of the oligarchs and plutocrats are frightened to death of Donald Trump because the billionaires and millionaires can’t buy him like all of the other politicians they routinely purchase, because Trump doesn’t need nor want their money, and the kommie media is frightened to death of him because he isn’t afraid of them either, the bottom line being that Donald Trump can not be controlled by the rich and powerful or the corrupt media, so for anyone who is truly for campaign finance reform and wants to take money out of politics, voting for Trump is the only reasonable choice. That’s what Trump has done.

Donald J. Trump is the very epitome of the anti-social-justice-warrior, and he’s galvanized an entire nation of the like minded who have been desperately waiting for years for a leader who could lead them from the desert of political correctness.

President Trump is really the last hope for this country: if he can’t undo any of the damage wrought by the Obammunists, the U.S.A. is done.

So least we forget, the above, and much more, are called “The Trump Effect”.

There are things I do not want flexibility on and two of them are abortion and gun rights.

Trump has had armed guards since his kids were little but I don’t think he’s passionate about gun rights for ‘regular’ people.

He’s obviously not passionate or even that interested in Pro-life causes.

He was unfamiliar with Planned Parenthood and did not realize that they provide almost nothing in the way of general healthcare for women. I don’t think he is pro-life.

I think it was just a convenient position to take right now.

Cruz is against TPA and he had excellent reasons for voting for the Corker bill. It was to delay and stop Obama’s actions.

So what else you got?

cruz not only supported TPA, it was his leadership that got it through Congress. In fact, that was the only time in cruz's entire Senatorial career that he has shown any successful leadership. That is just the fact, not withstanding his change of heart after the deed was done. What excellent reason to vote for the corker bill? That he had to vote for the corker bill so we could find out what was in the Iran deal? Or maybe cruz voted for the corker bill to stop the Iran deal that the corker bill gave obumber full control of. If you believe that, then I guess you believe cruz did not know he was a Canadian citizen until 2014.

He has already gone flexible on the immigration thing that brought him in to prominence. What more is he willing to give up?

I think it’s because he sees Trump as the likely winner and reckons an early seat at the table is the best way of moving Sessions’ policies forward. Since I won’t have a seat at anyone’s table...

Sessions could have remained neutral

And arguably missed an opportunity to move Sessions’ policies forward.

or he could have seen this:

"Ted Cruz and his wife Heidi are helping bring in the NWO antichrist system!" ROTFL! TSDW (too stupid, didn't watch).

He didn’t mention H1Bs at all during the debate. It wasn’t part of the question or the answer.

So what WAS he talking about when he said, "I’m changing it, and I’m softening the position"? What's his new position and how was his old position different? Will he ever tell us?

You already posted this to me and I replied. You're making Rubio look spontaneous and unrehearsed.

That's the America-for-Americans position; I just wish he could stick to without all this changing, softening, and flexing.
