Will Trump ruin his connection with his base when he reneges on deporting 11 million?

Yes. He'll hurt his brand. Ha! Base should learn that if someone promises you can act out all your baser feelings and aspirations and that they share all your grievances....they are using the tools of the psychopath and you are being scammed.

Not as long as FOX, Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones, etc. continue telling them how to think and telling them that he's still one of them. Besides, who else do they have besides him? Gary Johnson?

and there is the meme out there already that Trump is just manipulating the centrists by seeming to change his immigration stance on some of the undocumented. I guess that is how it will be couched... the right wing noise machine is making it out like isn't Trump tricky on your (the racist base) behalf.

That's just another "pivot." Any more pivoting, and he could get a job with the Bolshoi Ballet.
