That's true, his hardcore anti-immigrant base DEFINITELY wouldn't be happy if he keeps on that line... but with how much he's alienated most other people, I don't know how far he'll go there either. Of course if he runs as a third party candidate he'll almost certainly lose, and it makes sense because politicians always run to the center while trying to get elected (you run to the edge to appeal to the base to win the primary, then run to the center immediately afterwards to try to actually get elected), but still, yeah, it doesn't look good, that's for sure... and you're absolutely right that a lot of his fans will not exactly be thrilled to hear it. So yeah, it'll be interesting to see what he says...
