Save it, Gottfried. It was a large portion of the center that doesn’t care for the crap you’re peddling.

You sure seem to work hard to post dumb stuff by northeastern elitists

No one says liberalism isn't popular when they don't get a majority vote or aren't doing will in the polls. Trump won in spite of not getting a majority, his support is constant, and is accomplishing his policy goals. That is what matters, getting results.

This needs a barf alert

This guy writes for "The American Conservative"???

I think Mr. Gottfried is hanging around the with the wrong people or is just another anti-Trumper...

[HamiltonJay]

BS, support for the wall is 70% or more... but if you ask the question of whether you support Trump you get a 51/49 split.... But if you ask should the US build a wall to protect its southern border you get over 70% support.

Biased questioning

Issue polls--whether favorable or unfavorable--are not really indicative of anything. How an issue is presented at any given moment has a disproportionate influence on the result. Any articulate Conservative, who fully grasps the context, can destroy any open borders advocate in a debate, among those listening to the debate. Here is the way I would have handled W in 2006, had I been given the opportunity, from my article at the time:

Answer To George W. Bush On Immigration

Is it simply my conceit, or does putting the issue in a broader context, actually work?
