Republican chairman resigns over Trump

[Formerly Once-Ler]

By the way, I went to Trumps website to see what he actually had to say on the issue.  Couodn't find anything.  But I did find the video where he talks about self funding "all the way to Washington".

Do you have a link please?  Asking for a friend.

How many has Ted Cruz alienated?

None, he is not the nominee.

Yes, but so far neither is DT.

All the word Expedite means is they get a preference in line in the Immigration process. That is not Amnesty. Its no more then what US has done in the past with others. Example the German Scientists after WW2. They got moved up in the immigration waiting line to become citizens.  Its still the immigration process.

German scientists were not in the United States illegally to begin with.  Your "logic" is specious.

Trump proposes to deport illegals and then expedite the legal return of some that he calls "the good ones."  These people have broken the immigration laws of the United States.  If rewarding them with preferential treatment is not amnesty, then what is amnesty?

And from a purely practical standpoint, if we are going to let "the good ones" back in, why not figure out which ones are "the good ones" while they are here and spare the expense of deporting and re-admitting them?

LOL, because that would be inarguable amenesty!  If you make a show of it and deport and then re-import them it doesn't look quite as much as amnesty.  Come on, @HoustonSam !

But, can anyone actually find in Trump's list of positions on his website that he actually proposes to round up all the illegals and deport them and then let the good ones back in?  I can't find it.  I think that is just part of his rally/debate ramblings and people have latched on to it because that's what they want to hear.  Is his website wrong?  If so, what else on his website is wrong?  Or was he wrong during the debates/rallies?

Wow, I guess that's some of Trump's stealth jedi jiu-jitsu 3-dimensional chess!  Boy he sure put it past me!

That's an entirely fair question, and one that illuminates very clearly a fundamental and serious problem with the Trump candidacy.

That depends on whether you want to go by what Trump actually said, or go by what one of his handlers posted on a website.

But in this case, his son doubled down on this during an interview going to great lengths to explain how compassionate his father was to promptly bring them back into the US.

And then there's Trump calling Romney's plan "mean-spirited" because he merely wanted to cut off all the 'free stuff' to illegals in the US.

Well, when a candidate has a few different positions on the same topic I think people tend to pick the one that they like and go with it.  Technically they aren't wrong when they argue until the cows come home that that's what was said.  I'm not into guessing which one the candidate thinks is the "correct" position.

Huh?

As far as I can tell Trump has had at least 3 different positions on illegal immigrants in the last 4 years.  Which one is correct?  I could argue that Trump said he is going to kick all the illegals out and then let only the good ones back in, and be correct.  He has said that.  But then his campaign website says nothing of the sort.  So, which one is correct?  I don't want to have to guess.

His position changes to fit whatever crowd he's talking to and whatever his opinion that day happens to be.

You might not want to guess...but he want's to keep you guessing so that he's never wrong no matter what position he takes.

LOL.  We can't get away from each other. ;)

Yes, that's basically what I am saying.  Just because we are disagreeing about the Rush thing doesn't mean we aren't agreeing here. :)

And, while we're talking about holding various positions on the same subject, let me point out (again) that the Trump campaign website has video of Trump saying he was going to self fund, not the primary, just self fund "to Washington".
