The absence of the story on yahoo and msnbc and about 3/4 of the way down the website on CNN tell me that this isn’t polling well for the dems.

I hope this goes on for a couple of more weeks, especially if they start to get help with transportation.

Maybe “most” Americans wont outwardly rage, but can’t imagine this could help Democrats in any way.

I heard a statistic that 90M+ voted in the last midterm; 60M+ Voted for Trump. Democrats are hoping for low voter turnout- a caravan of 5,000+ people (and growing) is NOT going to keep people at home.

Fake news.

Edited, why would you say it’s a losing issue and be referring to the dems. This isn’t a dem board, baw. The caravan is a winning issue.

i can't imagine this is a positive issue for them, as they see it. this is exactly the faceless horde image that Trump has projected for years

Yet another case of dems refusing to leave the echo chamber.

Did they really think that demagoguing what amounts to an illegal invasion on the eve of the primaries was going to motivate people to support the party that wants to let them all in?

This 100% helps republicans. Every far left idiot who is for completely open borders was going to vote anyway.

Everyone else is taking a huge pause and wondering why our southern border is being invaded and why one political party is encouraging it.

Invading horde is NOT going to play well with most. I hope the MSM play this shite up!

Caravan is Dems worst nightmare.

Makes all of Trumps "racist" views reality.

They don't want to cover this at all.

Nothing major is happening at the moment

If they try to force it now, people will lose interest in the next couple weeks.

They're waiting till its right at the border and then will give it nonstop coverage.

It’s just a false flag made up by the Liberals. Libs are disgusting people

Maybe. I imagine they are just now starting to get internal polling numbers.

I may be completely wrong and time will tell, but look for this to be THE tipping point if midterms turn out to be a Red Wave.

Every progressive who called Trump a racist and championed unchecked immigration is going to be made to face their own rhetoric when the caravan descends on the border.

But why? Why would they give this coverage if it is a liability for the midterm.

Or, are you thinking they believe this is a winning issue for them?

You guys really have to stop bouncing so many ideas around your Echo chamber that you start thinking that they are real. I don't know any Democrats that want Caravans to walk right across the border

Democrats...no; Progressives....yes.

As was stated, this drives the rhetoric Trump has been shouting for nearly 4 years

I don't know, man. I will tell you the same thing that I tell my mom and my sister when they post stuff all over Facebook about alt right Nazis burning effigies: you are dealing with a small percentage of the population and blowing it up to a much larger one to validate your point of view in disliking an entire group of people that is much larger.

so the dems constantly scream for open borders, open immigration, and no border wall.

And somehow you can't put 2 and 2 together?

So they don't want the illegals to come here?

That's the stance you are taking?

What does it feel like to be brainwashed? To actually feel guilty for things you have not done????
