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 said that, but you seem to be projecting accurately.
and you are a gay porn surfer.
Thanks for you additional official book website and other stuff.
You’re really an important GOP guy!
It is turning blue due to immigration and other demographics. It is following the path of VA.
I just got to tell you: these people are not as low paid as you think. If they were all raptured out of here tomorrow, there would not be anything like a one to one employment of Americans, because until we reform welfare, Americans will continue to do things like work for cash themselves here and there while taking up benefits...or just live with mama and hang out at Starbucks.
Immigrants use the welfare system to a greater extent than the native born. So ehat's their excuse?
In 2010, 23 percent of immigrants and their U.S.-born children (under 18) lived in poverty, compared to 13.5 percent of natives and their children. Immigrants and their children accounted for one-fourth of all persons in poverty.
The children of immigrants account for one-third of all children in poverty.
In 2010, 36 percent of immigrant-headed households used at least one major welfare program (primarily food assistance and Medicaid) compared to 23 percent of native households.
n 2010, 29 percent of immigrants and their U.S.-born children (under 18) lacked health insurance, compared to 13.8 percent of natives and their children. New immigrants and their U.S.-born children account for two-thirds of the increase in the uninsured since 2000.
Of adult immigrants (25 to 65), 28 percent have not completed high school, compared to 7 percent of natives.
You can believe that or not, but regardless of who is right or wrong, its just pathetic of you not to think Im earnest about my beliefs.
You must have confused me with someone else. I have never questioned your earnestness about your beliefs. I just think you are grossly uninformed about the immigration issue. And you like it that way.
This is beneath you C. or at least I thought it was.
These kinds of false choices lend nothing to the debate. If any job needs done it will be done, else it didn't need to be done.
Either give Iran a nuke or go to war, you pick.
I was making a point....a rhetorical point.....it was not the heart of my debate....so it was not so much a literal choice (which would have been false choice) as it was just making the point.
There are a lot more factors in this job situation than just the pay....a lot more.
I agree 100% on the turning blue, and always have....and have always been totally against any voting rights for any illegals ever....ever....and I’ve always said the GOP e is all wrong on this. ALWAYS said that.
No, i’m a somewhat important ANTI GOP guy. Kind of stupid for you to say that www.FireKarlRove.com is a GOP website. I mean, even for you, that’s low IQ stuff.
Really Eddy?
It seems you're a very frustrated GOP mover and shaker.
It was predicted Trump was going to ring a lot of bells, and it appears to have rung yours loudly.
No fence would be required if there was a sufficient penalty for being here illegally, that is just a fact.
I disagree with that. but that’s another topic anyway.
I have just as much proof you are a gay porn surfer (like all you california closet liberals) than you do that I’m GOP estab.....and I have MORE proof that you’re wrong and you have NO proof I’m wrong.
HAHAHAHA - keep watching your twinks.
You need to be concerned about how the legal immigrants are voting. The enormous flow of legal immigrants in to the country 29.5 million 1980 to 2012 has remade and continues to remake the nation's electorate in favor of the Democratic Party. FYI: They vote more than two to one Dem.
Interesting comment from a know nothing. Those behind enemy lines know your FOS. Ya see places like Los Angeles and other major cities are crawling with millions illegal aliens. And guess what Eddy, there is not a vegetable field in sight. None.
They've completely taken over manufacturing, service industry, food processing, warehouse/forklifts, construction, landscaping, restaurants, delivery, and are managers and GM's in a lot of these industries as they need someone in key spots to communicate with their greedy illegal labor.
And in fact are buying up entire multi-million dollar businesses all over the place using big league cartel cash etc.
In fact, they likely own most of the people in the GOP.
Agree. And I would add that most of them are not rapists and drug dealers.
Trump thinks that these people are "terrific" and he will reward them with a big fat over-and-back citizenship amnesty.
Isn't that "terrific"?
But many are right?
Did I tell ya the story about the illegal employed at a machine shop who always got drunk on breaks and lunch? He got so drunk one day he pee'd all over his machine and rubber mat he stood on, right in front of all the other illegal machinist who thought it was hilarious.
They didn't fire him because he worked cheap. They used to pay the machinist in old America nearly double what he was making. He was sent home for the day. Returned and within weeks filed multiple fraudulent injury claims against the greedy company.
I have read the spinning from the Trumpeteers on here...
Hang tough. C. We will win the day.
What’s wrong, Proust? Can’t think for yourself so you need someone else to tell you how to vote?
No wonder you like Trump...
Candidate no. President, Maybe?
Another story is when an HR Director produced two employee files for the same employee when she was told he had several IDs. HR boss had felt it was no big deal becasue it’s so common. Then it was found they had several hires who managers hired and were being paid, who didn’t even exist. Several of the hiring managers were illegal and were collecting checks from these phantom employees.
The biz owners were from Mexico.
