THE LID: Reporting for Duty

Donald Trump reported for jury duty on Monday, which we assume he was a natural at since he’s spent most of his campaign finding people guilty of being “losers,” “stiffs,” “irrelevant” and “criminals.”

’16 AT 30 THOUSAND

As our sibling pub First Read predicted this morning, it didn’t take long today for 2016 candidates to be asked to respond to Donald Trump’s immigration plans. And it’s already getting interesting.

Asked if he thinks birthright citizenship should be ended, Scott Walker told our colleague Kasie Hunt "Yeah, to me it's about enforcing the laws in this country.” (A spokeswoman later said Walker’s position on the matter is: “We have to enforce the laws, keep people from coming here, enforce E-Verify to stop the jobs magnet, and by addressing the root problems we will end the birthright citizenship problem.”)

And Carly Fiorina told NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell of the birthright issue that “we should put all of our energies, all of our political will over finally getting the border secured and fixing the legal immigration system.” Meanwhile, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie and Lindsey Graham have all tried to put some distance between themselves and Trump on the issue today, too.

From the day of his announcement, Trump has been nudging the party to the right on immigration, at least when it came to rhetoric. Now, with specific policies on the table, that nudging is going to go from a matter of tone and tough talk to a real comparison in white papers and policy speeches.
