Well, I will research the rest, but I know you are a little ill informed on #5. He did support a tuition assistance program for children of illegals who attended public schools from grade school up and whose primary language is english. I have no bad with that, it's not like illegals were running over the border with 17 year old kids andf then getting free college educations. I think he'll be fine on this, he does want to secure the borders, punish sancutary cities, and deport those illegals caught by Officers.

True, those illegals are more beneficial to society than others. However, free tuition anything makes me angry. It's a waste of taxpayer money. The fact that he'd support that for people with an illegal-immigrant status just makes it worse. Plus, you always hear him talking about how we have to be compassionate and kind to people whenever he discusses immigration. That leads me to conclude that he thinks other people in the party, like Thompson, are not compassionate with the solutions they support. Would you agree with that?

Also, I don't see why Thompson's "poor showing" is a reason to not support him. Sometimes the quality of a candidate and the issues he supports are more important than winning (in comparison to the alternatives at least).
