Source: LA Times
Donald Trump backed away Tuesday from his pledge to deport 11 million immigrants in the country illegally.
It was a dramatic shift for the Republican presidential nominee, whose vow to crack down on illegal immigration has been a pillar of his candidacy.
Trump's reversal highlighted the difficulty he faces in trying to broaden his appeal without turning off his most fervent supporters.
His statements came in response to a Fox News question on whether he would adjust immigration laws to accommodate those people that contribute to society, have been law abiding, have kids here.

(1,016 posts)She tells Trump to soften up to appease the moderate GOP and then to wink at the RW to let them know it is a just a ruse to get elected. I bet they even have people blogging on those RW sites to plant the idea of the wink. And to promote his canny intellect to get over on the "libruls".

(704 posts)He said that his true followers have to understand he will need to say things they won't like to broaden his base but there is nothing to it.
In other words he will have to lie to some voters to get elected.
His followers will get that message through various right wing outlets.
