In Trump’s book published in 2011 he wrote a whole chapter on illegal immigration.

Although he did not make a statement on deportation he made it very clear he saw and illegal immigration as a major problem in our country.

Illegal immigration would not have top billing in this election if it were not for Trump. Even after Trump took all of the heat for bringing it up, Cruz could still not say the word deportation.

Last month Cruz was saying it was a “conversation” we would have after the election.

I started out supporting Cruz but switched to Trump after I researched him.

I still supported and donated to Cruz after I started supporting trump.

This statement about having a “conversation” totally turned me off. It smacks of elitism and/or weakness and I stopped supporting Cruz and started really researching him for the first time.

I have real questions about his TPA vote, his vote for the Corker bill, his true immigration/amnesty stance and a few other things.

So Cruz can try and paint Trump with some lame charge that Trump would not deport but it won’t work on me.

I know who brought the subject up in the first place.

I know who has waffled and who has not.

I know who has tried to obfuscate and make excuses and it is not Trump.

We all are prone to having one statement or action affect us, or stick with us more than others. As much as I have liked Trump and his attitude I have an uneasy feeling when I remember him having trouble using a microphone and yelling to his crew (over and over) "Don't pay this son of a bitch!". I like that sort of brashness. But, for me it doesn't square with a man wanting to create jobs and support people trying to make a buck.

(For the record: I do a fair amount of public speaking at local meetings and have leaned that an annoying 'pop' on words with 'p' in them can be cured by turning the mic down and not holding it close to your mouth.)

Also, understand that this is just debate chatter and I am not ready to throw Trump over board. But Ted Cruz who has an "A" rating at Conservative Review has always made it clear that he did not go to DC to make friends. There is a reason the establishment donors and beltway insiders are flocking to the deal maker.
