Washington (CNN)Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson joked Tuesday about the prospect of joining a Donald Trump ticket, but he split with his would-be running mate on his signature issue: immigration, saying that deporting 12 million undocumented immigrants is impractical.
Carson made his first major break with Trump since the primary race began during an appearance at the Commonwealth Club of California in San Francisco.
"It sounds really cool, you know, 'Let's just round them all up and send them back,'" Carson said. "People who say that have no idea what that would entail in terms of our legal system, the costs - forget about it. Plus, where you gonna send them? It's just a double whammy."

To heck with that.
If you come back, we deport you to Somalia. Trying coming back from there...
That has been my experience. Put enough folks together with their own "single issue preference" and you end up with millions of votes lost over a dozen different "single issues"
Some folks may be (for your specific area) pro-life, but they don't say it strongly enough and use it as a main part of their platform and many will still pass on that candidate for "being wishy-washy/weak/etc." even if it means that a abortion-mill, "kill them all" piece of Evil like Obama gets another chance to help insure millions more are killed. I can understand the concept of being fussy with one's votes, but have a bit of a problem when the difference of choices is crystal clear and the choice that results in the most evil is the one taken.
But I digress - different season and different candidates. None of our main choices are pro-abortion.
My point was simply that those who accuse others of being single-issue voters (I don't mean you) are usually just saying so because THEIR single issue isn't the one being neglected by the establishment Republican candidate.
