Related: About this forumTrump "evolving?" He either lied in the primaries or is lying now.
I cannot for the life of me figure out why no one is pointing out that he swore to his fans that he would have a completely different approach to immigration than the competition. Now it simply echoes theirs, President Obama's, the efforts being made for the last decade.
He lied. He cheated to win. I'm aghast enough to want to stand on this little DU street corner and rage about it, because it's indicative of the myriad things he does that just slide by.

(21,921 posts)It would require critical thinking to understand that Donald Trump has shifted his policy positions. His base lacks those mental abilities. This is why the intelligent Republicans and conservatives are not supporting Mr. Trump's candidacy.

(48 posts)Of course, it's bound to backfire on him badly. Deporting the illegals was a HUGE part of his platform, and backtracking on that proposal will turn off much of his base. At the same time, the minorities he is attempting to pander to won't buy into his lies, since they know what kind of person Donald really is.
