Trump Twitter world is cracking up tonight because of what Mike Pence is saying about the Donald figuring out his immigration policy.
Sounds like the big sell-out is coming. Oh well. The voters did what we could. If Trump sells out, it's not our fault. https://t.co/tdMpAuDaRI

This is what she’s upset about:
When Pence says he and @PaulRyan are "going to go straight to work" on immigration, I get very nervous … https://t.co/fiXksV5kjU

Here’s the context of the comments:
PELLEY: But he made these promises. And now, he’s reversed himself. And I wonder, what does that tell us about Donald Trump?
PENCE: Well, I think, I think what it tells you about Donald Trump, in both cases, that he’s always going to tell the American people where he stands. And, make no mistake about it. There’s… there’s been no change in the policy about ending illegal immigration in this country.
PELLEY: The speaker of the House told us today that, when it comes to deporting 11 million illegal immigrants, it’s not going to happen, and he won’t fund it.
PENCE: I promise you that, that we’re going to get a tremendous amount of support, from members on Capitol Hill for border security, for strengthening internal enforcement, expanding our border agents, expanding Immigration and Customs Enforcement, identifying and prioritizing, the removal from this country of criminal illegal aliens, those who’ve overstayed their visas. I’m very confident that we’ll have broad-based support in the Congress for what the president-elect outlined in the course of his campaign. And we’re going to work every day to make sure that we advance those policies and end illegal immigration once and for all.
It’s reasonable to think he might betray his supporters on this, right? We all know he’s a master “negotiator” and that he has no principles to speak of, so as long as he gets a deal on immigration and he’s able to stamp his name on it, he doesn’t really care what it is.
Other Trump supporters, like Bill Mitchell, are lashing out at Coulter for her heretical disbelief in the one true Trump:
.@AnnCoulter needs to make up her damned mind. One minute she is praising Trump, the next she is worse than #NeverTrump. No longer a fan.

Oh shut up @AnnCoulter, seriously. I get sick and damned tired of your belly-aching. We didn't elect YOU. #TrustTrump. https://t.co/OjBTsKZVzu

Looks like @AnnCoulter wants to be the new head of #NeverTrump. I'm done with her.
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) December 3, 2016
I'm confused. So is Trump supposed to check in with the all powerful @AnnCoulter before he makes personnel or policy decisions? #smh
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) December 3, 2016
I am guessing @AnnCoulter's plan for success is for Trump to alienate and make mortal enemies of everyone he needs to pass legislation?
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) December 3, 2016
Thank God we elected Trump and not @AnnCoulter. He knows how to get things done. If I need a Complainer-in-Chief, I'll elect Ann.
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) December 3, 2016
I am not an emotional person and rarely if ever get pissed off on Twitter. This @AnnCoulter #NeverTrump'ing pisses me off.
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) December 3, 2016
Someone needs to ask @AnnCoulter how undercutting Trump and sowing discord within the base accomplishes a g-damned thing?
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) December 3, 2016
No independent thought allowed!! Just like in the primaries!!!
And don't ask me to play nice with @AnnCoulter. I've had it with her, "Trump is betraying us!" BULLSH*T.
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) December 3, 2016
I don't take positions because they are popular, I take them because they are right. They just become popular…
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) December 3, 2016
Wait, I thought you entire movement was based on “populism”? LOL!!
I have news for @AnnCoulter and the rest of her new #NeverTrump movement. Donald Trump can handle Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell.
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) December 3, 2016
.@AnnCoulter writes as if SHE is speaking for US. Sorry, Ann, speak for yourself. As for me, I'm MAGA with Trump all the way.
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) December 3, 2016
So @AnnCoulter has watched Trump this entire election and now fears a lightweight like Paul Ryan can manipulate him? #smh #TrustTrump
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) December 3, 2016
It's fine to argue with Trump's choices, but never ever imply he has betrayed us. You do that and you just became the enemy.
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) December 3, 2016
You’re the enemy, Ann Coulter!! Trump would never betray people because you can trust every flip flop he makes!!
Oh and don’t miss how earlier Sarah Palin herself said Trump was descending into “crony capitalism” over the Carrier deal! The hits just keep comin’! I’m not sure what’s more shocking – Trump supporters discovering they have principles, or their discovering Trump has none!
