Top Trump Surrogate Says Border Wall and Mass Deportation Will Be "Virtual"

Buffalo New York Congressman Chris Collins (R-NY) was the first member of Congress to endorse presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and he's become a key campaign surrogate for the reputed billionaire businessman. But in a Tuesday interview with The Buffalo News, Collins said he believed two of Trump's signature campaign proposals would never be carried out.

Collins said he believed the wall Trump promised to build along the US-Mexico border would be more an idea than a physical wall. “I have called it a virtual wall. Maybe we will be building a wall over some aspects of it; I don’t know."

Collins also said that Trump's controversial plan to deport roughly 3% of the current US population would be a "rhetorical" exercise rather than a physical deportation.

1. Trump has admitted that his provocative statements about walls, tariffs, Muslims, etc. are just

'suggestions' which served the purpose of securing the nomination for him. According to him, he was just playing a racist, xenophobic role that needed to be played in order for him to win a nomination from what he perceived to be a racist, xenophobic republican base.

2. Who needs substance when you have demagoguery?

3. The question is who among our acquaintanceship

here in the South can we tease about "virtual" walls and deportations? Delicate issue, may have to tread lightly.

4. So what is he really saying? Trump goes populist with the far right

Picking up racists and homophobes and crap now then in the GE he'll slide back to the center? Center right?

If so, it sounds like the same gaming some of our illustrious Democratic candidates enjoy playing with one big difference. The Democratic left are not hateful bridge trolls or knuckle dragging members of society

All that to say is it sounds like both parties are using the same jackass playbook.

5. How do people who support him or oppose him chose which of his statements to believe?

He will say any stupid thing to get elected.
