Donald Trump likes the idea of Rick Perry challenging Ted Cruz for his U.S. Senate seat in 2018. I will have more to say about this tomorrow when I give a speech in Reno.

“Until the bleeding has stopped, there’s nothing Trump can do that won’t be forgiven”, she wrote.
“It sounds like it’s coming from consultants”, Coulter said. “I think this is a mistake”.
Trump’s characterizations of undocumented immigrants were also soundly rejected in the poll. In speeches this week from Akron, Ohio, to Austin, Texas, Trump assured supporters he still plans to build a wall along the southern border, one that “will go up so fast, you’re head is going to spin”.
Trump has repeatedly asserted that crime is spiking because of illegal immigration, a claim that is unsupported. Trump has registered as low as 1 percent or 2 percent among black voters in national polls – and his remarks last week probably cost him support.
Large majorities of those surveyed said they believe that undocumented immigrants fill jobs USA citizens don’t want, are as honest and hardworking as US citizens and are no more likely than USA citizens to commit serious crimes – sound rebukes of Trump’s rhetoric on immigration. More than a dozen members from the New York City office of the Republican National Committee’s Republican Leadership Initiative, based in Queens, gathered at Trump Tower.
Rumors and innuendo which have been long confined to the far reaches of the Internet are dominating the presidential race.
Former Florida governor Jeb Bush, who railed against Trump’s divisive rhetoric during the bitter GOP primary, declined to comment directly on Trump’s change in tone. “They didn’t know what the policy was, but what they were is they were kind”.
Black Republicans cheer Donald Trump for a newfound outreach to African-Americans, but say the GOP presidential nominee must take his message beyond arenas filled with white supporters and venture into the inner cities.
But when asked a year ago about those prior remarks, Trump assured Fox News’ Bret Baier that “there will be a deportation” in his administration.
Asked about his pledge of “extreme vetting” of people who enter the country from countries with terrorist strongholds Trump said, “We’re not going to allow them to come into this country”. “There will be a deportation, and hopefully they’ll be able to come back into the country”.
It seems that the mass deportation is off the table.
A story detailing Trump’s struggle to gain ground among African-American voters ran a headline conflating being black to being a felon: “Trump wants GOP to court black voters – then slams voting rights for felons”. “Except change his immigration policies”.
In May, a report by the right-leaning think tank American Action Forum estimated that finding, detaining, legally processing and deporting everyone who is in the country illegally, and preventing future unlawful entry, would cost $400 billion to $600 billion. They want toughness, they want firmness, they want to obey the law.
For now, some Republicans who favor strict immigration laws continue to grant him the benefit of the doubt.
Hundreds of people waited patiently in line Wednesday morning before filing into the Florida State Fairgrounds for the rally, many buying up borderline obscene T-shirts referring to Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.
The Pew survey finds support for building a border wall remains high among Trump supporters, with 79 percent of them supporting it.

As he sold Cleveland Cavaliers NBA championship swag, street vendor Steve T, 47, said the “disrespectful” comments represent “the real Trump”.
