BREAKING: Trump (w/ Hannity) is pivoting HARD on immigration here in Austin. The crowd is confused and divided. Honestly, this is pathetic.

***UPDATE***

Ok. here's the whole story.

EXCLUSIVE: Trump Awkwardly Attempts Major Immigration Flip-Flop in Front of Live Audience in Austin

"...able to attend the taping of Sean Hannity and Donald Trump's two-part "town hall" on immigration at the Moody Theater in downtown Austin on Tuesday afternoon. Since the press wasn't officially welcome at this event and one segment isn't scheduled to air until tomorrow, I'd say this bit of news counts as an exclusive:"

SNIP:
Here's the thing though: Just minutes before that, Trump made his first immigration pivot attempt of the day. His hard-edged but shallow refrains of "follow the law!" got some applause, but the words about "softening" his stance resulted mostly in confused silence mixed with a few yells of "don't back down!" from the crowd. If it had stopped there, it would have been awkward enough. But he was just getting started.

In the second half of the taping (slated to air Wednesday night) Trump made his big pitch to the live audience that went something like this: "What about the incredible people without criminal records who have been here for about 20 years? Don't you think they and their families should be able to stay? Shouldn't we be able to work this out?" In other words, suddenly sounding a little bit like Hillary Clinton.

As you can imagine, this doesn't go over well in the otherwise very sympathetic room. So they try again.

3. Apparantly no press was allowed in but reporting that it will air on FOX tomorrow.

9. Lawrence O'Donnell was just talking about this

He figures Trump's base will abandon him or we'll see Trump relapse back to the bigoted racist they all know and love.

[Chemisse]

10. Did he mention that he wanted to continue with how Obama is doing it?

Because that should be really comforting to his base.
