Ann Coulter might take a page out of Samuel Clemens’ book as well, noting that the much-hyped reported criticisms as of late concerning her candidate of choice – Donald Trump – have been greatly exaggerated.

The Quinnipiac results are Clinton’s strongest in weeks and exceeds the current six-point spread she enjoys over Trump in the Real Clear Politics cumulative average. Earlier this week, appearing in a town hall hosted by Fox News’ Sean Hannity, Trump said that there could be a “softening”.
His general election opponent, Hillary Clinton, meanwhile hammered the point that Trump unleashed the “radical fringe” within the Republican Party, including anti-Semites and white supremacists, dubbing the billionaire businessman’s campaign as one that will “make America hate again”. Its most extreme factions have no affiliation with the campaign, even as they praise Trump’s agenda and compare him favorably with Adolf Hitler.
But Alexandra Preate, a spokeswoman for Bannon, says police never interviewed Bannon, who is on leave from the conservative news site Breitbart.
She described Rubio as a leader of the bipartisan Senate “Gang of Eight” that favored a pathway to citizenship for some immigrants now in the country illegally. When reporters pressed him on the outrage his plan generated, he said the nation had “become so politically correct as a country that we can’t even walk”.
He is unfavorably comparing the USA economy to China’s and says the nation has “some very, very serious problems and it’s going to get worse with this group of people” in charge.
Rep. Steve King, a staunch critic of illegal immigration, said Friday he’s “happy to hear” Donald Trump clarifying his immigration policy and reiterating his opposition to legal status for undocumented immigrants. “Now they brought it down”.
I don’t want to be ruled by ideology, but by leadership, faith, character, knowledgeable language, diplomacy and one who thinks before speaking and, when speaking, does not demean the handicapped, women, people of other religions or immigrants. “So do we tell these people to get out, number one, or do we work with them and let them stay in some cases?”
The Florida senator also emphasized during his presidential campaign that he would not hesitate to deport illegal immigrants who have committed serious crimes.
Now Trump is apparently signaling a major shift in his policy, saying that he’s open to working with undocumented immigrants rather than deporting them all. “Trump, I love you, but to take a person that has been here for 15 or 20 years and throw them and the family out, it’s so tough, Mr. Trump, ‘” he said of the exchanges he’s had on the trail. He once called for a deportation force, calling candidates such as Jeb Bush, who advocated for a path to legal status, “weak” on immigration.
Yet it was now unclear to what length Trump would go to execute those deportations. “But there is no path to legalization unless they leave the country and come back”. “That’s the way it’s supposed to be”, Trump added.
His campaign did not immediately respond to a request for clarification on whether any of Trump’s comments mean that there would be changes to his plan. But when pressed about Trump’s paramilitaries on CNN, his new campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said meekly: “He has not said that for a while”. “It’s nothing that Mr. Trump says out on the stump”. “Illegal immigration” was ninth on the list, with 39 percent saying they anxious abut it ‘a great deal’. Over the weekend, he met with a Hispanic advisory council and he is expected to give a detailed speech on immigration soon.
