CLEVELAND (AP) — As he turns his attention to the general election, Donald Trump is signaling that he is ready to tone down his fiery rhetoric on illegal immigration — at least behind closed doors.

At the same time, Republican officials appear eager to push him in a more moderate direction, telling Hispanics that he has abandoned his divisive primary pledge to deport the estimated 11 million people living in the country illegally — even if Trump hasn't said so publicly himself.

"Trump has already said that he will not do massive deportations," Helen Aguirre Ferre, the Republican National Committee's director of Hispanic communications, told reporters at a Spanish-language briefing at the party's convention two weeks ago. Instead, she said, "he will focus on removing the violent undocumented who have criminal records and live in the country."

He's at 16% support and still insists on building a wall and banning people from any country affected by terrorism (France, Germany). 

Hispanics are not stupid.

Spain, England, Israel, China, and Russia... too (all having experienced terror attacks).

Never mind this being the single most significant issue that won him the primaries.

So long, suckers.

Echoes of what Rand Paul originally said for policy.

Americans are not stupid.

Stuff like that works both ways.  Start banning people from the EU and they'll ban American travel there.

Trump is all about, it seems, turning people against each other.  He's already doing it with NATO, now he wants to exacerbate that by banning travel from certain countries.

We simply cannot elect this man.  He's got simplistic answers looking for problems.

For a long time on another site my tag line was:

"Donald Trump, simple solutions for simple minds."

That one didn't go over to well, either.
