GOP insiders to Trump: Enough already

Donald Trump may have the whole Republican field talking about immigration, but early-state insiders wish he would just stop.

Seven in 10 Republicans said they’ve heard more than enough about Trump’s plan, which includes a controversial call to end birthright citizenship, according to this week’s POLITICO Caucus, our weekly bipartisan survey of the top operatives, activists and strategists in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Trump’s plan calls for an end to policy that guarantees citizenship for children born in the United States to illegal immigrants. That’s one of several controversial provisions under Trump’s plan, which is particularly galling to New Hampshire GOP insiders — 85 percent of whom said the real estate mogul and current GOP front-runner’s immigration plan was harmful to the party.

Nearly two-thirds of Iowa Republicans said the same.

“He’s solidly put an anchor around the neck of our party, and we’ll sink because of it,” an Iowa Republican said of Trump.

Astute point, timely, and needed. Sink away GOP!

Politically correct and dead wrong G-O-Pinheads...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3326563/posts

Among all likely voters, 51% favor building a wall on the border; 37% disagree, and 12% are not sure. Eighty percent (80%) support the deportation of all illegal immigrants convicted of a felony; only 11% are opposed.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3325602/posts

The largest single group, 24.4 percent, supported the most draconian option — closed borders and mass deportation — that is dismissed by every candidate in the race, including Trump. Add in the next group that supported Option Six, which would allow only a "small number" of highly skilled immigrants to enter the U.S. and also involve mass deportations, and the number increased to 38.2 percent. Then add Option Five, which would allow only highly skilled immigrants while physically blocking the border, and the number increased to 55.2 percent.

If Trump has put an anchor around the neck of the RINOs, perhaps the voters can push them off the boat!

“He’s solidly put an anchor around the neck of our party, and we’ll sink because of it,”

Unlike Romney, McCain, Dole, etc.?

The GOPe’s have thrown everything and then some at Trump to take him
out.

Not only is he still “in”. His poll numbers have risen.

He is resonating with Americans.

Build that BIG, Thick, Tall Wall, Mr. Trump!
