(CNN)Just four years ago, Donald Trump took a drastically different position on what is now his central issue: deporting undocumented immigrants in the United States.
Since he announced his candidacy last June, Trump has promised to build a wall on the US border with Mexico and at various times said he would, as president, deport all or many of the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the country. However, in an June 2012 interview with CNBC's Squawk Box reviewed by CNN's KFile, Trump said he didn't believe in deporting undocumented immigrants who, he said, "had done a great job."
Asked about his views on immigrant labor, Trump said, "You know my views on it and I'm not necessarily, I think I'm probably down the middle on that also. Because I also understand how, as an example, you have people in this country for 20 years, they've done a great job, they've done wonderfully, they've gone to school, they've gotten good marks, they're productive — now we're supposed to send them out of the country, I don't believe in that, Michelle, and you understand that. I don't believe in a lot things that are being said."

Nah, seen him flip-flop enough before the election to convince me what he really is.
My favorite was when he was asked if women who had abortions should they become illegal would have to be punished. In less than 3 hours he went from saying they'd have to be punished to saying they'd be victims.
He's a politician, con-man, whatever you choose to call it he'll tell you what you want to hear.
IOW, despite all claims to the contrary, Trump is no different than all the other flip-flopping politicians in Washington.
The ability to deftly flip or flop,(also known as the pivot) is a prerequisite of being a politician. So is the two step, the protracted issue dance and the quiet tip toe or soft shoe. A politician who can tap dance and sing out of both sides of their mouth at the same time will have a long and profitable future in the political arena.

And so is Hillary a flip flopper. Pick your poison.
