You neglected to mention that your whole premise is predicated upon 'speculation' by Gail Collins about what's in the segment that wasn't released, where Gail expresses:

"The most optimistic analysis of Trump as a presidential candidate is that he just doesn’t believe in positions, except the ones you adopt for strategic purposes when you’re making a deal. So you obviously can’t explain how you’re going to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants, because it’s going to be the first bid in some future monster negotiation session."

Fail.

And isn't she giggling right now.

Could this be the October surprise?
As most know I can't stand the guy and I have no reason to believe he will do anything he says he will do, but I don't believe anything Buzzfeed might say either. For some reason I think Trump almost believes he can do with immigration he says he can. He has convinced so many others that he is beginning to believe himself.

Not if we're hearing about it in February.

If this tape exists, which I doubt, it better get exposed pretty damn soon.

The New York Times is sitting on info that could cause it to endorse Trump.

I have no idea what Mr. Trump said off the record, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if his immigration policies, as stated, are not something that reflect his true belief. See his meeting with the illegal kids in 2013. He's really not a bad guy, and he is a pragmatist, first and foremost. He really wants the ultimate prize, i.e., US presidency, and the end justify the means.

I was looking at a magazine from the early 1960s. In it, there was an advertisement for a 19" TV for only $129. I was thinking that it's funny how that 19" TV would cost less than $129 now -- but we get everything from China.

Adjusted for inflation, that $129 TV in 1962 would cost just over $1,000 today.

Back in the day, a 19" TV was ginormous but today, they would laugh you right out of Best Buy if you ask for a 19" incher.
