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:

false choice. Who said anything positive about congress? No one. That’s NOT the point. Stay on topic. Stay focused. Nice try groupie.
That might be the most bizarre and twisted logic I’ve ever read in any forum. Explains a lot, thanks.
he’s not exactly self made.....a multi millionaire from the start, and using bankruptcy four times....sounds like daddy and the court system helped “make” him.
I mean, all thats fine, but I tire of the worshipers who won’t see the truth.
no, it’s just way over your head. Not surprising.
I read a book titled “Boss” about Chicago under Mayor Daley. One of the things that I remember about it was that everybody gave money to Daley even the Republican business people. It is a disguised game of extortion and the politicians have all the control.
Trump was a big Obama fan in ‘08?
Then he must have endorsed Obama, right?
and has stated he voted for him.....in 08. Was registered Dem at the time.
You should get out more.
Yeah media playing stupid. Trump didn’t give a number on how many legal immigrants to Cnn that he would let back in, but the clowns like Shapiro seem to fill in the blanks by alluding about it or making it up. Trump could chop that number significantly. We know the GrOPE won’t do anything but keep the doors open.
That is the most immature reply I’ve ever read.
SAD.
Almost everyone, if they find the gumption to stand up for securing the border, will try to take the sting out by calling for increased or at least easier *legal* immigration. I understand why they do this, they are trying to inoculate themselves from accusations that they are anti-immigrant, by calling for more legal immigration.
The problem is that no one ever says, out loud, what is the optimum number of immigrants, what is the right number of newcomers admitted per year, and how do you arrive at that number. We have large numbers of citizens out of work and even candidates I like are calling for more and easier immigration.
Secure the border. Reduce the number of border-jumpers to effectively zero. Enforce the law. Over a very few years the problem will sort itself out.
Barbed wire, electric fence, hidden pits with pointy stakes, land mines, helicopter and guard towers with machine guns. Oh, severed heads on pikes just outside the “Exclusion Zone” as a warning to the rest.
“Ive been slammed as a covert, wicked liberal, even a faggot for not supporting Trump, the real deal.”
Deal with it. Your input still has value and in the long run
you may be right.
Hahaha. Trump donated to McCain early in the cycle.
Then he very publicly and enthusiastically endorsed him. He also praised Palin extensively.
Your insults are hhilariously childish.
I tried to tell all the “Trump worshippers” that he was no conservative and playing them for suckers. I don’t think he is pro-life or pro-traditional marriage either.
Sorry if you got your heart broke but it is better earlier rather than later.
Cruz in 2016
I wouldn’t bother trying find logic in mental illness.
He got a reply but was really looking for an answer. Which he didn’t get.
Yea, Trump seems somewhat flaky on deportations. But I can say, first-hand, here in Texas at least - should the Illegals disappear overnight, it would be a like an episode of “Left Behind” when it comes to building houses, office buildings, factories, or anything. A TOTAL STANDSTILL. Not to mention a run on lawn mowers by honkies - followed by amputated feet.
That doesn’t justify doing nothing about them (or worse, legalizing them) - but it is a FACT on the ground here.
As far as I’m concerned, my DREAM would be all of the video-game kids and still-immature American adults (in their 20s, 30s, and 40s) BE FORCED to do these jobs, and learn some useful skills, for the first time in their PATHETIC lives. But it is a lot to ask...considering how their ‘parents’ would react.
That’s interesting, thanks.
