There’s a reason Donald Trump’s still in first place. It’s the same reason Ted Cruz is framing Marco Rubio as a “party of amnesty” moderate. And it’s why Rubio is desperately “veering right” on immigration — teaming up with anti-immigration hardliners in the Senate and now publicly touting his plan for “deporting people.”
A whopping 49% of Republicans and GOP-leaning Independents support Donald Trump’s right-wing, xenophobic immigration position, and think he’d “best handle the issue of immigration.”
Thanks to his increasingly hardline immigration proposals and rhetoric, Donald Trump’s still running the show. Every time it looks like Rubio and Cruz are closing in on him, Trump outdoes himself. In the process, the GOP’s being pulled further and further to the right — and fast.
