Rumblings of Revolt in Trumpsylvania

Univision has a piece up about Trump's meeting with Hispanic leaders:

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump plans to present an immigration plan in Colorado Thursday that will include legalizing millions of undocumented immigrants, according to three people present at a meeting the candidate attended Saturday with Hispanic leaders at Trump Tower in New York.

Somebody reposted it at the Freeper place and it's getting predictable responses"

Trump is finished if this is true!!!


crap.
who is left to vote for ?


He better don’t


NOT ONE SINGLE INCH.

NOPE.

This changes everything for me.


If true, it is all over for Trump.


Others are maintaining (and praying) that it's misinformation being promulgated (of course, they didn't use polysyllabic words) by liberals.

Donald could probably get a YUGE deal on flip flops made in the Phillipines, then make Mexico pay for stacking them up...

Oh, that’s a great idea.

Gain 50 Hispanic votes.

Demoralize 50 million current Trump supporters.




It was his toughness on illegal immigration that made him popular in the first place. If true, someone must have gotten to him.

Damn. He was our last hope. I really, really hope this isn’t true.



Trump always agrees with the last person he spoke with.

We say Trump's outreach to minority voters is a crock of shit and so do they. Universal eyerolls at Trump. What a great day.

50 million Trump supporters.

Romney in 2012 got about 61 million voters. So if they are starting out with an estimate that makes Trump, not just a loser, but a big loser, they are already on the road to accepting Clinton as the next President.

Either that, or the genius can't do math.

But it does highlight a real problem for Republicans going forward. They can likely hold the House for a while with the nutjob candidates due to gerrymandering, sometimes they can get the Senate, but their base seemingly can't allow a candidate that would generate widespread enough appeal to win the presidency. And their ability to hold the Senate is directly related to an ability to not nominate more Todd Akin like candidates, which they have trouble doing due to the nature of their base.

Either he does what he told these folks he would do and loses the Freepers, who are the bulk of his remaining support, or he crawfishes and these folks are betrayed and pissed.

Even if they say he is just saying what it takes to get elected but will do the "right thing" once elected. There is nothing, NOTHING, he could do or say to sway them away from supporting their Cheeto Messiah.
