Why Doesn’t the GOP Elite Give Up on Amnesty?
…
After Romney’s 2012 defeat, conservatives like Charles Krauthammer argued that if they just caved to the Democrats on this one issue — immigration — they wouldn’t really have to change anything else. (“It requires but a single policy change ….”) In 2013, with Marco Rubio as their smiling pitch man, they tried desperately to sell out on immigration. They failed.
1. And College Boy subsequently backed away from that plan. If that doesn't count as giving up on "amnesty," what the fuck would be good enough for Mickey Kaus?
seriously, WTF is Mickey babbling about? The GOP did give up on immigration reform (amnesty first is bullshit, typical republican inability to be honest about a subject).
Is there any doubt that if “comprehensive immigration reform” went away for good, Trumpism would wither?
lolwut? Is he high? Has he never dealt with an unruly child? Sure, give in to the tantrum throwers, they'll suddenly mature and not turn around and demand more capitulation, ROFL. All that would do is validate every xenophobic urge the Stormtrumpers have and make the Donald an even bigger hero to them. And you can bet that Trump will beat them over the head with it. He'd crow about how he forced the establishment elites to knuckle under and do his bidding and his drooling base would love him all the more for it.
