Yeah, Trump is basically socially liberal and he has misled such as with his touchback amnesty plan.
But Cruz worked for the Iran deal, TPA, and amnesty-pleasing Gang of Eight provisions.
Neither is perfect. They are both the best we have, and the safest by far is to see Trump get in on a first ballot, rather than opening it up to a Cruz/GOPe latter ballot fight.
Oh, I also think that Trump is more electable than Cruz at this point, because he’ll put more states into play and, yes, his social “moderation” will turn off fewer of the swing and female voters needed in some purple states.
I honestly don’t think Trump’s plan is “touchback amnesty.” If I did, I wouldn’t support him. His “great big beautiful door” always has the phrase “legally” attached, and if you look at the process, once you’re out, you can’t come back in if you broke any laws.
Well, guess what? That eliminates all who were here illegally.
I think he knows this. I spent some time with Sen. Sessions two weeks ago. There is no doubt in his mind that Trump does not intend any “touchback amnesty.” Coming in “legally” reassures all those deported who have been fooled by the rhetoric that they are NOT here ILLEGALLY.
If it is touch back amnesty why did Sessions:A, help write the plan, B, publicly approve the plan, and C, endorse Trump?
