Politically speaking, they played this hand too soon.

Makes you wonder what they’ll come up with closer to the election.

It's not a winning issue for them when their Grand High Witch (Schumer) says they won't take up an immigration bill because they want to keep the focus on Trump.

Who is hurting these kids exactly? The people enforcing the law, or the ones who refuse to fix it and would rather use those kids for political points?

An air of desperation helps turn a winnable situation or close loss into a total rout.

Once you start losing and desperately try to change the momentum, you throw conventional wisdom out the window in hopes of doing something, anything, to reverse the drop.


Going into this cycle I would have thought the Dems would make significant gains in the House and minimized their losses in the Senate just due to structural issues (PA redistricting, number of GOP Senate seats up).

Now that Trump’s policies are paying off and the various traps laid for him have failed, they’re throwing any shite they can think of at the wall to try and change the momentum.

The issues in question could normally do such a thing but they’re pushing so hard and so fast that they’re doing faceplants whenever their moves get countered.



The revelations that this issue, and the bad pictures associated with it, date back to Obama combined with Schmuck refusing to allow a fix be passed will end up turning this issue against them.

One of the many problems with this issue is that it is purely emotional and such emotion cannot be sustained until November. Even the emotional outrage over school shootings tends to dissipate after a week or two.

Democrats are most definitely overplaying their hand, which isn't very good to start with.

The over-dramatization by the left is simply dirty pool and shows how weak they really are. The viewing public seems to be swallowing their story hook, line, and sinker. The public is being snookered by the left's sentimentalizing the issue. Is it as bad as they portray to be? The frequent use of the term "cages" shows you the sideshow nature of their narrative. Who decided to use that word anyway? How do you know if what they're saying is accurate without going down there and seeing it first hand? They have a vested interested in making it seem as bad as possible. It's a textbook example of being "argumentative" - that is to say, it can neither be proved or disproved. Looks like another Democrat parlor trick. The public - in general - is so naive.

should be pinned thread

I’m anxiously awaiting for the big orange b***h slap to hit them on this one like it always does.

They're going after the Muh Children issue because they've already burned their bridges with white votes, black voters are starting to wake up so all they have left now is to try to motivate the latinos to show up and vote for them.

the left always does this, contrived some issue that gets their base all frothy and they think they are making progress. Nobody who voted for Trump the first time gives a shite or they agree with him.
