Btw ya think all of our dead and the maimed laying in neglected VA hospitals think Iraq was a "compassionate war?
The problem is just a couple years ago Trump was blasting Romney of all people for being too TOUGH on illegal immigration. And Romney was simply proposing to enforce eVerify so illegals couldn't get work and would go home. One of the cheapest, least easy to demagogue first steps towards dealing with the invasion of illegals.
Trump claimed that was too tough and cost Romney the Latino vote.
And now? Trump has done an amazing 180 and is supporting even tougher policies to deal with illegals including, apparently, rounding up and deporting illegal families which is especially easy to demagogue.
Trump, by his own admission, is whatever he has to be to get what he wants. He was a crony capitalist and funded Democrat campaigns when it suited him. And just FYI, the idea that this is necessary is nonsense - there are lots of conservative business people who would not have stooped to such things. Now that he is a candidate he "evolves" where necessary and says what he has to. What is he going to do/say as President? I can imagine a president Trump saying "well, those tough positions I took are what was required as a candidate. Now that I am President I wear a different hat and won't be doing those things I said I would".
