I wrote down who she quoted tonight as a so called conservative think tank to knock Trumps plan to round up illegals. I wrote it down because she is sneaky when she quotes sources. (I learned that when she quoted a liberal think tank to knock Gingriches tax plan in 2012.) Anyway, she quoted American Action Forum. “It will take him 20 years to do this and at great expense.” Well guess what? The GOPe is behind this so called conservative think tank! Check it out!!

GOPe fingers all over it, again. From your link...

...History and organization

The American Action Network is an advocacy group founded in February 2010 by Fred Malek, founder of Thayer Capital and former Republican National Committee deputy chairman. The organization was founded to promote and support center right issues, conceived in part to counterbalance the left-wing Center for American Progress.[12][13] The organization calls itself an “action tank” or “a think-and-do-tank” and is classified as a 501(c)(4).[13][14]

Former Minnesota senator Norm Coleman was hired in 2010 as its CEO.[7] He now serves as chairman of the board[12][13] and also serves on the board of the American Action Forum, a sister organization.[15] In 2011 Brian Walsh, a former political director at the National Republican Congressional Committee, was hired as the group’s president, replacing Rob Collins, the former chief of staff to Eric Cantor.[4][16] The organization’s board members include Fred Malek, Vin Weber, Mel Martinez and Thomas M. Reynolds.[12]
