http://www.rawstory.com/2016/05/trump-surrogate-admits-theres-not-going-to-be-a-wall-but-racists-can-still-imagine-its-there/I have called it a virtual wall, Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY) told The Buffalo News. Maybe we will be building a wall over some aspects of it; I dont know.
...
I call it a rhetorical deportation of 12 million people, Collins explained. Were not going to put them on a bus, and were not going to drive them across the border.
Realizing he would probably be in trouble for revealing what Trump actually believes in the press, Collins was quick to clarify. Im not speaking for Donald. Those were my opinions.

A virtual wall? Like... laws?
And a rhetorical deportation? Like... bashing them in racially charged speeches?

I don't think that that is what Trump supporters have in mind.

a bit too soon?
I mean the wall is the center of his campaign!
The cess pool of supporters are enraged fanatics!
God it would be so fitting if these people turned on Trump at his own rally after whipping them up into a angry and bitter froth.

(82,849 posts)11. I don't think it's what the Trumpettes had in mind, either
Will they denounce their hero, or simply nod and fall in line with the new position?

It's not like they are going to see it. Even if they did they'd conjure it up in their minds.
