Is this the story you're referring to?

Progressives Today Story

Given the source and the writing, I'm guessing it's a case of "please don't throw us in the briar patch".

"Not coordinated" vs. "not coordinated enough" is a distinction without a difference, but one heck of a good try at Clintonian parsing.

Kind of like all of the scrambling this morning about Trump not "knowing David Duke" vs "knowing OF David Duke".

It was comical.

"I really, really doubt this is a change in allegiance. It is a political play to sabotage the republican nomination process. "

Exactly.

“To vote for the candidate they think most likely to lose to the democrat. “

I’m from MA, and that is a possibility.

However, Gov Charlie Baker is republican and very popular, and immigration is a BIG issue.

Howie Carr is on the radio daily all over NE always railing against the “Milbury Man” (i.e. a drunk illegal alien) who was driving zonked out of his mind, hooked a cyclist onto his bumper and dragged him to his death, and who now gets free legal counsel and translation services from us the taxpayers.

Howie’s tagline: “I don’t want any special treatment, just treat me like an illegal alien”.

So if Trump wins big in MA tomorrow, then the party switch is real.

Agreed. a ‘16 version of Rush’s “Operation Chaos”.

Nope. I didn't, and I've said as much here on FreeRepublic.

I was confused by his total fumbling of what should have been an easy question to answer, however.

>>Trump does seem to have one thing right - protect American borders.

I will not issue any H1B visas to companies that replace American workers and my Department of Justice will pursue action against them," he told a news outfit.

But how serious is Trump about all of this if he wins the nomination? According to Vivek Wadhwa, a scholar and entrepreneur who researches immigration and technology issues and teaches at Stanford University, Trump will probably execute a "tactical shift" and dial down his anti-immigration position to the point of actually favouring skilled workers. Alienating the tech industry may just prove too costly a move to risk.]

He knows what people want to hear, but...

Exclusive: Donald Trump's companies have sought visas to import at least 1,100 workers

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-trump-exclusive-idUSKCN0Q62RQ20150802

...his past history of hiring aliens when it suits him seems to contradict his promises.   

Too bad we can't test drive him for a few months and decide if he's a lemon or not.

Well which one is it .... on one hand Trump is supposedly a Liberal Cosmopolitan New Yorker , on the other he is supposedly a KKK loving Nazi ...which is it ? Trump’s detractors can’t have it both ways ...

Why, 'cause conservatives are KKK loving Nazis?

I never said Trump supported the KKK.

He disavowed Duke's endorsement on Friday, and then strangely said he didn't know who Duke was on Sunday.

Tapper was playing gotcha.

Trump isn't a racist.

He did badly fumble that question, though, and his supporters here were spinning like tops trying to justify it.

This is huge because most of us here in Mass. are already unenrolled and can vote either way.

The switches means that the democrats are hemorrhaging.

Good News all around, but especially for Mr. Trump.

Unless these Dims rushing to join the GOP have had a sudden
change their ideology, this is not a victory in the long term.

Why, because after the election these cross-overs will still be the liberal crap their were before Trump came along.

And they will demand liberal ideological solutions to problems, such as single-payer gov’t controlled health care, etc.

Do not underestimate the blue collar union boys who have had enough of the BS from the Union/Dem connection.

Return of the Reagan Democrats will equal Landslide for GOP

fair enough, but in the long run these people are still Dims and they will remain so. In the long term, Trump will be nothing more than high-dollar window dressing.

Unless these “Reagan Democrats” finally have a long-term attack of intelligence and an appropriate ideological epiphany, it will mean nothing in the long term. imo.
