I am with you on that, I don’t think immigration would even have been allowed to be an issue if Trump hadn’t have brought it up and got such a positive response to his promise to deal with it.
Am I 100% sure Trump will keep that promise if elected? No, but I am far more sure that Cruz won’t mess with the status quo.
I am convinced Cruz promised as much to the Mormons and GOPe to get Romney support to win Utah. I have Mormon family members and Mormon friends and know the LDS leadership would not have supported him if they thought he would change anything about illegal immigration, other than to help it along.
“Am I 100% sure Trump will keep that promise if elected? No, but I am far more sure that Cruz won’t mess with the status quo.”
I think Trump will follow through. In his books, he talks a lit about having to follow through on what you promise or people won’t believe you a second time. And he’ll have the entire nation watching.
