“He had Trumps position before Trump did. E-Verify, close the border, reduce or eliminate their freebies and they will go home on their own. A similar program was used in Arizona and Oklahoma years ago and they left and came to Texas!!!!”
It certainly seems that way, being in Texas. Fortunately we had Voter ID in 2014, so they couldn’t vote at least.
The difference is how much do the candidates understand the anger out there. Romney through out the self-deportation line in his early Primary days and then made it clear that he wasn’t serious. Cruz is obviously much more serious, but even he didn’t seem to understand the SEETHING in this country, and particularly the Republican base. I’m sure it was a top issue to him...but no more so than gun control, taxes, etc. Trump launched his campaign on it and has yet to waffle, at all, which is why I’m with him.
I agree that Trump put immigration on the main stage and it became the main attraction. However, I am a person that firmly believes a leopard cannot change his spots and a persons past contains a historical record of their true morals or beliefs.
Let’s take for instance Hillary. She was fired from her first job, a Watergate investigator/lawyer, for lying, dishonesty and with holding evidence pertaining to the case. Her morals and principles have not changed one iota in the 45 years since.
I do not trust Trump in that his historical past does not jive with what he is saying now. I do not care that he had to deal with scoundrels in NY in order to do business. Some of those business deals turn my stomach.
I have what I call the “foxhole test”. If I am in a foxhole on the front lines in a seemingly lost situation who do I want in that hole with me, Trump or Cruz? Classic Battle of the Bulge.
Who do you want in that hole?
