Donald Trump, while sticking by statements that his proposed ban on foreign Muslims entering the U.S. is just a “suggestion,” on Friday revealed he wants a commission headed by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani to not only look at Muslim immigration but also study the immigration flow across the Southern border.

“We’re going to put together a really stellar group of people. Rudy will be the chairman … He should be able to come back quickly [with findings],” Trump told Fox News.

And the MONEY QUOTE

He made clear on Friday that he still wants to study the idea, but continued to say it’s just a “suggestion,” as many of his campaign proposals are.

“Anything I say right now -- I’m not the president, everything’s a suggestion,” he said, adding: “I feel strongly we have to do something.”

There we have it, folks.

Trump does not make campaign promises. He makes campaign suggestions.

Of course, whether they admit it or not, that is true of every candidate. Including Ted Cruz. President's don't make law, they can only influence legislators to do so...as such, they have goals they wish to achieve and must negotiate to get as much of what they want as is possible. So yes, they are suggesting what they wish to happen, and motivating congress to do so. That's what ALL presidents must do, you're just not used to hearing anyone acknowledge that truism so bluntly.

So you're telling us the deportations and the wall were BS, just as we predicted months ago.  Got it.

Trump is putting Guiliani on this commission so he can be the spokesperson and public face for immigration. Trump is radioactive and he knows it.

No. That's precisely NOT what I'm telling you. What I am telling you is that a candidates positions on issues is a starting point...because presidents are not kings, they are merely chief executives. So Trump and ANY other president must negotiate to advance their views, and that always means some compromise. Which is how our system was designed to work under the US Constitution.

Seems to me, IIRC, Giuliani had a lot to do with that NAU superhighway back at the end of Bush.

Figgers.

I like to go to on the issues when I want to know about people.  What is funny is that Giuliani seems to think that we can export freedom to the Muslims.  Also revealing was his overall support of the Iraq war. 

He is also a gun grabber.
