Oh my God. I was standing up and nearly fell over!

Not.

This is 2016 for any of you who are interested.

I’m more interested in hearing you explain why Trump’s logic in 2012 about not deporting all the illegals was wrong. How did Trump get it so wrong back then? Was he just not thinking straight? Did he have too much coffee that morning? Did he have a bigger need for cheap labor back then? Did an even richer donor buy him off?

So it’s okay for Trump to have a horrible stance on immigration 4 years ago.

How long ago does it have to be before you take it seriously?

2013?

2014?

“Oh my God. I was standing up and nearly fell over! Not.

I say the same to you...so 2012 is so long ago...when Trump blasted Romney for being too tough on immigration, blamed it for his loss, and pushed the GOP to adopt ‘comprehensive immigration reform’ to improve its standing with “Hispanics and Asians.” What about how he continued to support it all the way up until June 2015, until he decided he would run for the Republican nomination for President and switched his marketing campaign?

So based on your standard, Trump should get a pass all the way up until June 2015 just before he announced for President (because this is now 2016), and also get a pass for pushing the GOP a few years ago to adopt “comprehensive immigration reform” because that was too long ago...so Rubio gets a pass for Gang of 8 because “this is now 2016”? That was back during the same time period when Trump was pushing that kind of a policy for the GOP to supposedly improve its image. Or Rubio doesn’t get a pass for it but Trump does because Trump is Trump and it is 2016 and what Trump believed and advocated for prior to 2016 doesn’t count, but everything another candidate did prior to 2016 does count because they aren’t Trump?
