See them run!

Michael Kennedy wonders at Chicago Boyz if the corporate wing of the GOP is leading the party to disaster:

The Chamber of Commerce support of the Republican party is not on the side of the immigration skeptics but the voters are.

GOP candidates are actually running away from the issue.

...Trump is drawing huge crowds of Republican voters and the other candidates are drifting away from the base.

...I am not surprised that Democrats, who rule most large cities and who support the same Sanctuary City policy, would oppose Trump. A few Republicans, like Tom Cotton are doing something. Cotton has proposed ending federal funds for sanctuary cities.

Eradicating sanctuary cities pits two core Republican priorities against one another: enforcing immigration policies versus making sure that the federal government doesn’t get overly involved in local and state affairs.

That’s a fair question but why are federal funds going to cities now ?

But there’s one question that neither The Donald nor his fellow Republican candidates have been willing to answer: What should the U.S. do with the estimated 11 million people already in the country illegally?

I could answer that question, which is of the “Have you stopped beating your wife ?” variety. Once the border is closed, we can deal with the long term illegals who have clean records. The more serious question is why have Republicans, except Ted Cruz, left the field to Donald Trump who is a self promoter and very unreliable as a Republican loyalist.

Trump looks to me like Ross Perot in 1992. He has a history as a Democrat and a friend of Bill and Hillary. Perot had one issue in 1992.
