Right now, no matter which candidate you ultimately support, backing Trump is a brilliant strategic move. He is staking out a position so far rightward on illegal immigration that he makes every other candidate's position seem moderate. Build a wall, place snipers on it and forcibly deport all drug dealers and illegals, and you are still moderate, compared to Donald who would do all that, and then make Mexico pay for it. In fact, he makes doing all that without sending the bill almost seem like an unnecessary capitulation to Mexican interests.

Moreover, Donald is a case study for every other conservative politician who would voice support for us in the future. If Donald comes out rightward as aggressively as he has, endures all the punishment the liberals have foisted on his business, and we abandon him, every other candidate who would support us will see that, and draw the conclusion that we will not have their back if they speak up for us, be it on gun control, gay marriage, abortion, or anything else. If we let Donald hang alone, we will deserve every Mitt Romney, John McCain, and Jeb Bush that will inevitably come after.

If Donald sticks his neck out, and is rewarded with an army behind him, all the Conservatives to come will espouse our issues, not to endure sacrifice in pursuit of principle, but specifically to try and get the benefit of our support.

If Donald goes left later, and we withdraw that support, then it is another lesson to future conservatives. But for now, Donald has redefined the entire debate over immigration rightward, and opened the door for each of our favored candidates to espouse a more rightward position and feel safe doing so. Ted Cruz could not ask for a better wingman to guard his right flank and make him appear moderate to the low-information crowd.

Think about that - Donald has redefined moderate to be Ted Cruz's stance, and in doing so made the low-info voters feel as if the liberal is the aberrant candidate, outside the mainstream, who doesn't support America.

For now, Donald deserves our devoted support and appreciation. When the primary comes, vote your conscience, but keep in mind, we cannot let him go down to an embarrassing defeat unless he gives us a reason by going liberal on some other conservative issue.

Until then, be grateful for Donald. In these crazy times, as unbelievable as it may seem, he is the best thing for every real conservative out there.

It’s all about the amnesty.

Everything is about the amnesty.

Both parties, unions, churches, The Ministry Of Propaganda, have spent millions if not billions to convince the citizens that we must abandon the rule of law and give our country to fraudulently documented foreigners.

I’m thankful to Trump for breaking the issue out into the daylight.

Very well said and an excellent strategy. I’m not sure I trust Trump, but his impact is right where it needs to be.

My email to Macys:

If I were running a retail business I would, for obvious reasons, keep it as far from Politics as I could. Since you have chosen to get into Politics: I support Trump and YOU are the enemy. Have a NICE DAY.
