For the past six weeks, an overarching concern for the Republican Party has been the impact that Donald Trump might have on the GOP primary election – particularly the damage he could do on the debate stage by turning an already unmanageable 10-candidate forum into a full-on circus.
On Sunday, though, Trump himself gave one of the clearest examples yet of why his candidacy is doomed to fail, and why, if handled properly, the debate stage could be his Waterloo.
Trump has staked much of his campaign on his promise to solve what many of his supporters see as a major immigration crisis. As anyone serious about the issue of illegal immigration recognizes, there are at least 11 million undocumented workers in the U.S. right now, and rounding them up for deportation is not a viable option.
Tapper asked Trump to expand on his policy beyond building a wall on the border. The host may have been hoping for a considered reply revealing Trump’s detailed thinking on immigration.
Trump called in to CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday morning to speak with host Jake Tapper.
Much of the appearance was, in fact, more of a Trumpian soliloquy, which appears to be his favorite form of expression, than an interview. However, when Tapper was eventually able to interrupt him and press for some policy specifics, the cracks in Trump’s façade quickly became evident.

This deserves a thread Cin.
and jail for anyone caught employing any of them.
I am sure Donald doesn’t leave his safety to the Secret Service. He probably has a trustworthy team!
I’m sure his team is fine, but the SS has access to some serious intelligence capabilities. Maybe Trump can at least get that information, even if he keeps his own people with him.
Donald on illegals
“We’re going to take the high ground. We’re going to do what’s right. Some are going to have to go and some – Hey, we’re just going to see what happens. It’s a very, very big subject and a very complicated subject”
that’s political speak for... LIAR!
He wants us to elect him first and THEN he will SCREW US by... doing “what’s right” AKA amnesty!
the answer is simple: Attrition thru enforcement. The amnesty advocates like to offer the false choice between mass deportation or a blanket amnesty. Why the urgency to legalize them?
Every time they say he is doomed, he jumps up 2 poll points.
He's dominating this election.
That was tried near my home town. Fremont, Nebraska had a ballot on that very law.
Everyone from the local Catholic Bishop to the NAACP showed up. Hormel threatened to leave town (a large employer of illegals), and many other businesses protested. The kicker was when the police and State of Nebraska said they would not enforce the law.
It failed.
If that happens in a small town in Nebraska, you don’t have much chance.
Wishful thinking editorial board
How many Trump obituaries a day are there?
Pray America is waking
Trump isn’t wrecking the GOP—he’s wrecking the RINOSaurus Party (Democratic Parties Right wing—stalking horse). The left is losing a valuable wing—that was to appoint Jeb Bush to be beaten by Hillary/Castro Ticket. Trump is wrecking their plans.

They may tune them out, but they still seem to do whatever the elite media say.
“Because all the candidates have written books stating their how to strategies.”
So has Trump.
