Has Donald Trump made his first serious boo-boo of the campaign?
For weeks, the media have trumpeted the supposed death of the Trump campaign. First, they claimed, Trumps campaign imploded on launch thanks to his comments about illegal immigration. Then they claimed that Trump was finished because of his slap at Senator Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)43% s (R-AZ) war service. But neither of those comments alienated Trumps base hes maintained his seven point lead over Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker in the 2016 presidential polls, with no other candidate breaking double-digits in the polls. In fact, his original comments about illegal immigration launched his candidacy to prominence, with many Americans relieved that a major candidate had finally touched the media third rail and talked openly about illegal immigrant criminality.
Now, however, Trump may have damaged himself with the very people excited by his candidacy. Asked point blank about his immigration policy, Trump dropped the brashness and the blurting, and suddenly went completely Hillary-vague on CNN. After blathering about deporting criminal illegal immigrants even President Obama pays lip service to this idea Trump continued:

I actually agree with a lot of that...but my point is, his knee pad fan boys are convinced he is this full throated deportation hawk. And that's bullsh-t. My point is Trump reality versus Trump in the minds of the wayward Freeper.
Shapiro has been slamming Trump from the beginning.
Sorry, Cruz isn’t thinking about VP to a reality-show celebrity.
Seems your reply confirms his shrewdness but doesn’t quite
address his whimsical shallowness.
Honestly are you expecting a politician out of a business
man? Trump is about business and creating wealth and the
thing is so is America. I say we all sit back and enjoy
the ride Trumps putting on. It’s still way too soon to say
who is what and where in NEXT YEARS ELECTION.
Trump is part and parcel of the cartel. You’re watching a scripted play unfold. You’ve been studied, parsed, analyzed and all the crosstabs are in. Trump is pushing the very buttons that many FReepers want pushed and FReepers are a small minority of GOP conservatives, but they’re representative of the GOP voting population. Don’t be snookered.
Few FReepers have ever worked deep inside a campaign, let alone even marketed a product. Politicians are products and they sell what you want. Trump’s doing just that.
I agree with you and exactly what Trump said!☺
But you support Cruz you said. Why would Cruz find himself in such agreement with a Democrat?
I've said the same thing a zillion times here on FR...I've asked many "do you want to pick the vegetables or make the beds at Motel 6? All I get are crickets, or worse yet, other insults. The point here is, the most angry and hawkish of the deport them all today crowd are Trump's biggest fan bois, and watch them give him an excuse for saying some of these things....where you and I get flamed.
So you are going to vote for !Yeb?
listen. You want to support Trump Because you like his policies go ahead. But when you start complaining about other candidates being wealthy members of country clubs you just look ignorant.
You’re avoiding my question.
I asked you if a self-identified Democrat is what the country needs, and if you want to vote for a Democrat.
Will you answer?
Please try and follow along in context.....I've actually said the same thing you just said above...and been flamed by the very people giving Trump a pass on it now.
I’m currently reading a fourth book by Trump. Anyone not taking this man seriously knows nothing about him. Trump is not wired for failure. He is truly a WINNER!
Dude, 100 percent deportation is what you call a “deportation hawk.” You can’t seriously have a problem with Trump having a door open for people who are QUALIFIED or OUTSTANDING, perhaps folks brought here against their will, being able to come back through a LEGAL PROCESS after their deportation.
Did you say this?
Until we secure the border, it doesnt make a damned bit of difference what else we say we are in favor of or not.
Did you not say this?
Feel free to enjoy the self gratification nature of your deportation fantasies. They are NEVER EVER EVER going to happen for a lot of reasons.
you lie
What lie is that eddy?
How low of an IQ does it require to assume that the choice is only Donald or Yeb? I"m thinking low double digits....maybe 35, 40? Something like that. Get your mommy to read this to you.
