Trump now says a lot of things about immigration that I agree with. The problem is, he himself probably doesn't even believe in what he's saying. In 2000, he wanted to run on the Reform Party ticket against Pat Buchanan because of Buchanan's "nativist" views, and in 2012, even Mitt Romney (!!) was too much of a "nativist" for Trump. Will the real Donald Trump please stand up?

I suppose that according to his fans, we're supposed to believe that Trump magically saw the light on the illegal immigration issue in 2015. Alternatively we can assume that Trump is just a political fraud who says whatever it takes to get in the media spotlight, whether it's criticizing immigration restriction yesterday or praising it today. I'm betting on the second.

Everyone is “evolving”. I believe that Trump is pro gay marriage and abortion is he not?

Shouldn’t he have to explain his previous comments? I would think so.

Never have been on the Trump bandwagon. Some of the things he has been saying lately are true but I do not believe that he really believes in what he is saying. I really think this is just a game to him.

So you’re sticking with Hillary whose husband had a girl the age of his daughter blowing him in the WH...and then, after staying with him, carries the banner for women of the world.

Now there’s a political fraud!

The same can be said for the other candidates running and you don’t have to go back to the year 2000 to find their flip flops.

News flash, they are all political frauds, even that beloved Ted Cruz. They say one thing then do another.

I’m not invested in any candidate and will watch how Trump plays out. Hopefully, he’ll expose and slap around a lot of these wimps and traitors in the GOP.

Yes, why don’t we do that and let the GOPe candidate win the primary and lose the General, again.

Trump is a political chameleon and always has been. He will say whatever he thinks will score him points with whoever he is trying to get something from, whether it’s the Clintons or conservative voters. The man is playing conservatives for a bunch of suckers. And so far he is succeeding.

I honestly have no idea what his real political convictions are because he keeps changing them. Do I like what he is saying on immigration these days? For the most part, yes. But do I trust him? Not for a New York minute.

Trump is an opinionated blowhard who shoots off his mouth before he thinks. He says a lot of things that I agree with. If you catch Jeb Bush on the right day, he does too. We need someone with a TRACK RECORD of conservative results — not someone who can shoot off his mouth and say the right things.

I don’t need Trump to be my candidate, but can we give the other (male) candidates penile implants, because they are missing something.

I’ll forgive him - providing that he takes out Jeb, Rubio, Perry, Huckabee, Mrs. Gram, etc.

...and he is WELL ON HIS WAY to that accomplishment.
