Michael doesn't much like JEB!, which is to his credit, for the reasons you might expect: immigration, Common Core, and also for his neo-con imperialist connections, but Savage's show is not a place you would ever expect to hear praise for Hillary Clinton, however faint, so when you hear it, you take notice.
Savage complemented Hillary for her CNN comments about the groups of Central American children and teenagers who have illegally entered the country and are currently being held in US custody in detention camps. According to Savage she is the only major politician to call outright for them to be deported, and she should be complimented for that.
Savage, whose hatred for Obama is boundless, would probably never concede to his audience that Obama himself has been tougher on illegal immigration than George W. Bush, who simply allowed open borders his entire presidency for the US Chamber of Commerce's sake. The numbers to prove it are there in deportation statistics. But Savage is implying something that is probably true: Hillary's rhetoric, at least, will be tougher on illegal immigration during the 2016 campaign against JEB! than any presidential candidate in memory. And it will be expertly triangulated in such a way that she does not come across as hostile to legal immigration, or Hispanics in general.
Hillary will run to the right of JEB! on immigration, and she will clean his clock over the issue.
