“Hey look freepers, it’s our resident negative nabob troll, who is never right but likes to make statements about our impeding electoral doom and gloom.
Anyway, carry on.”
You beat me to it. Well Said.
How does that help us win and them lose?
It doesn’t. But neither does putting forth a bill and passing it to appease them. This is just faster and easier to get to the loss.
Trump is doing the right thing by standing strong and even doubling down.
Never right, eh?
I told you all Roy Moore looked doomed because the allegations and got attacked. I turned out to be dead on right. He lost. Strange would have won easily.
Democrats have picked up nearly 50 once Republican seats since Trump got elected with voters shifting Democrat in multiple races. Pointing that out is a good thing. If you ignore it and don’t analyze strategy, you’ll be an Obama.
When only a quarter of the American public supports your policy and your approval ratings are at 45 percent and this is sucking up all the media coverage, why not take this off the table and sign a good piece of legislation from Ted Cruz? You can barely get the majority of your own party to support it. You don’t want the Democrats using this issue, and they are.
Sure, give the baby the lollie pop. That will teach’em not to throw tantrums.
Ted Cruz’s bill doesn’t do that. It’s totally different from what the Democrats want. See Feinstein’s terrible bill.
Why do anything?
Here’s where we disagree. I don’t think it’s appeasement at all.
It is taking the propaganda issue away from them.
Cruz’s bill just keeps them together under lock and key. After 14 days, and they can’t prove asylum, they all, parents and kids, get thrown out of the country.
PLUS, we really, absolutely need a lot more immigration judges. We don’t have enough, and because of this too many are being allowed to stay and wait for a hearing and wind up skedaddling. A huge increase in these judges can try them and either let the few who actually deserve to be here, and throw the rest out.
THAT would be a huge win for Trump and anti-illegal alien conservatives.
I agree with you. We need more judges, and catch and release is a policy that incentivizes illegal immigration and trafficking. This would end that. That said, from attorney comments on Twitter, 14 days may not be enough even with the needed increase in judges. I think that number may have be adjusted accordingly.
The crepehanger turned out to be right again. Trump is ending this with an executive order (which I think is stupid by the way as it makes him look like he caved & he should wait and sign the Cruz bill).
Never right, eh? Trump is signing an executive order to end this policy. I disagree w/ that b/c it looks like he's caving. He should have waited and signed the Cruz bill.
