When people pointed out how Trump was not a conservative, and was wrong on a lot of conservative issues, the response was "well maybe, but if he's going to build a wall and deport all the illegals, that's good enough for me.". In other words, it was his hard, uncompromising stance on immigration that was supposed to excuse everything else.
Some of us tried pointing out that he was never going to be able to get that stuff through Congress anyway. He would be forced to compromise away those things that supposedly made him so much better on immigration, and we'd be stuck with all this other crappy positions. But that objection also was dismissed.
So now when he comes out and admits that he's going to "deal" on those issues, and will end up being "fair" to the illegals already here, his supporters do a 180 and say that's perfectly fine. As if most of them weren't arguing strenuously to the contrary over the last few weeks.
So it looks like we're going to be stuck with a nominee who leans left on a bunch if issues, and the ones on which he supposedly was so great start looking a lot like the same position other candidates have.
Dude is a master salesman - I'll give him that.
All it will take is for one of his buddies to tell him they need the cheap labor and the promise of illegal immigration crackdown is gone
Bump.
