Donald Trump’s Iowa co-chair calls his immigration plan ‘a big mistake’

Politico

Donald Trump may be the spinning top that won’t fall down, but his Iowa co-chair is cringing at some of his recent statements.

“On illegal immigration, he wants to gather up the families and ship them out? That was a boondoggle. The caucusgoers are like, ‘What?’ That was a big mistake,” Richard Thornton told The Des Moines Register.

But Thorton still thinks the Republican candidate can plow forward, but he is going to have to expand his policy issues to do so.

He told the Register Trump needs to focus on the economy, bringing back jobs from overseas and term limits.

So far, Trump has only detailed one policy proposal: His controversial immigration plan.

At his first town hall in New Hampshire Wednesday, Trump was asked about his other campaign ideas.

The business mogul promised “wonderful” policies in the future, but cautioned against laying too much out ahead of time.

“Well, I did a big policy position on immigration and I think most people really like it,” he said.

Trump said that he was able to seal deals in business not because of multistep plans but because he went for what he wanted.


“We have to have flexibility,” he said. “When you do 14 points, you know, the second point may change and it may be much better than the second point you put down on the policy position. And that will throw off the rest of the points.”
