Hilarious.

No Amnesty! No Amnesty They Said!.... Well maybe a little amnesty...

That better be some wall...
Just say you're voting for Hillary already and be done with it.

The anti-Trump crew gets more angrier as Trump starts to appear more electable.

They were angry when he was at his unelectable worst.

There is no pleasing these folks.

Ann Coulter rips Trump for his flip flop on immigration.

Quote:
Ann Coulter revealed her sense of disgust with Donald Trump's latest comments on immigration in which he suggested an openness to changing his hard-line stance on illegal immigration.


The conservative commentator, in the midst of a book tour for "In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome!," threatened earlier this week to abandon her efforts if Trump is softening his stance on immigration.
Just another bitter Trump hater.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

"So while the [Clinton] Foundation does good—in fact, critical—work, there is absolutely enough potential for corruption to raise some uncomfortable questions, particularly among voters already inclined to view the Clintons with suspicion.

So, it would seem that Trump has a winner here. Or he did, at least, until someone noticed that among the donors on the Foundation's $100,001 to $250,000 list is one Donald J. Trump. This puts him in a bit of a pickle, of course. He can keep saying that donations to the Foundation represented corrupt influence peddling, but then he's guilty, too. Or he can insist that his donation was purely charitable, but that weakens his "most corrupt enterprise in political history" argument. So, Trump may have to start looking for another hammer to wield."

I believe that's her core issue. Personally, I think we have bigger problems to address in this country....

That's the core issue that got Trump the nomination.

Now his plan is pretty much the same as Jeb Bush's.

Trump may not be the solution to the problem but we know for certain that Hillary IS the problem.

I'm not so sure about that. Trump's appeal is also based on his anti-establishment views, his celebrity status, his pro-guns view, his bluntness and being a DC outsider. I also think a big part of his appeal is his business "sense" that could, potentially, help the economy.

There's no doubt his anti-immigrant views got the ball rolling, but it's become clear that he can't win without some of the Hispanic and Black vote, so I'm not surprised he's flipping on this issue.

I just hate it to have to repeat myself once again, but it should never be forgotten:

What Trump says or did not say in the past, what Trump means or did not mean prior, or what Trump believes now, or does not believe now, or then... just doesn't really matter because what is important in this election is what the anti-America criminal Hillary Clinton did in her 35 years as a public official. This is what really matters. All you Trump haters, hate and moan all you want. You are being follish if you think this country will be worse off with him than Hillary.

Ann Coulter gets nuttier all the time. Trump's original plan was absurd for many reasons, the main being that it had ZERO chance of getting approved. I hate it when Politicians promise things that are impossible to deliver, but in this case, not only was it impossible, but ridiculous as well.

He is not making any new laws just enforcing laws now on the books.
What is so impossible and ridiculous about that?

Did he meet with her? Did he get a contract with the state department, put on a board or in any other way benefit? You can't paint everyone who gave to the CF as corrupt as I'm sure many were not and thought when they made their charitable donations, that they were giving to a good charity.
