At a Q&A session Monday night, Senate candidate Mitt Romney defended his conservatism saying he's tougher on some issues — like immigration — than the president, reports the Utah Daily Herald:

"I’m a deficit hawk. That makes me more conservative than a lot of Republicans and a lot of Democrats. I’m also more of a hawk on immigration than even the president. My view was these DACA kids shouldn’t all be allowed to stay in the country legally."

— Mitt Romney

Background: Romney was pointing directly to President Trump's proposed plan that would have created a path to citizenship for 1.8 million DACA recipients if passed. Instead, Romney said recipients “need to do more” to earn permanent residency.

1. He cannot endear himself to anyone, can he? Vulture capitalist.

2. There is no such thing as an anti-Trump Republican

They are the same. Trump just says openly what establishment Republicans hide behind dog whistles.
