Okay. Excerpts of an April 2015 interview with Beck which indicates his present position delineates him from other candidates. I get that.
My whole point of my post was that it seems to be akin to a non-virgin avowing celibacy. I get his current position - good on him. I just think one should understand from whence and how this position came, and not ignore past positions.
I didn’t write my post to criticize him. I applaud it. I was criticizing the feeling I get from some that this position has always been so and some clearly troubling past accounts directly from him are being completely ignored.
He admits his transformation; others should recognize that, too.
I’m reminded of how Mitt Romney evolved in 2012 and the devolved again in the year or so after that.
The honest truth of the matter is that Scott Walker likely wants to do the same thing Marco Rubio wants to do which is get this immigration deal done and legalize the 11 million who are here because its the politically easy thing to do. If elected Walker will go along with the GOPe which will pass an immigration law declaring the border secured and letting everyone stay. Nobody learns English, nobody pays a fine, everybody goes on Social Security. The GOP wants to move on.
You don’t just change your mind on an issue as big as immigration.
