Take a Memo:
Conservative Review is poised to downgrade Donald Trump to "bad" on immigration.
CR set to downgrade Trump to 'Bad' on immigration. Here’s why
Will the real Donald Trump immigration plan please stand up? That is the question conservatives have been asking themselves this week after a series of flip-flops from the Donald on his immigration stance. Trump, who ran through the primary process promising to “build a wall” that “Mexico will pay for” and to deport every last illegal immigrant in the United States, pivoted away from that position this week. This change in position comes with less than two weeks before voting starts in at least one state, and amid continuing polling problems for Trump.
Rumblings about a change in tone from the Trump campaign on immigration came during the beginning of the week and the story reached its peak on Wednesday in a televised town hall where Trump said that he’s “softening” his position on immigration. As Conservative Review’s Chris Pandolfo noted, Trump’s language now echoes that of Jeb Bush and the Gang of Eight immigration bill.
Having illegal immigrants pay a fine and back taxes to stay in the country was the policy proposed in the Gang of Eight amnesty bill!
Further, that is the position on amnesty once held by former candidate for the Republican nomination for president Jeb Bush.
"I think for the eleven or twelve million people here illegally, they should come out from the shadows, they should pay a fine, they should pay taxes, they should work," Bush said in an interview back in October of 2015.
Even emphatic Trump-supporter Ann Coulter, who, in a stroke of bad timing released a book “In Trump we Trust” this week, was taken aback by the change. Mediaite cataloged a tweetstorm by the author and commentator.
The Conservative Review profile of Donald Trump warned from the beginning that conservatives should be wary of Trump’s immigration positions. Highlighted were Trump’s contradictory statements from 2013 straight through the primary campaign. CR is set to downgrade Trump to “Bad” on immigration, which will mean a sweep of “Bad” scores on immigration for every presidential candidate.
The Trump flip-flop could not have come at a worse time for Trump. North Carolina is a must-win state for Trump in November. He is currently trailing Hillary Clinton in the Tar Heel State according to polling. This is especially concerning because North Carolina begins mailing absentee election ballots in less than two weeks,on September 9, 2016.
