    That’s a BAD idea, though. That’s a BAD bill that they literally designed to be Trumpian in a (successful) effort to prove that the GOP wouldn’t even accept what they asked for if it gives a win to Democrats.

    Show him and the rest of the American Fascist Party up by bringing a BETTER bill.

    One that actually fixes some of the REAL problems at the border such as the threadbare immigration courts and all the laws making legal immigration so onerous that illegal immigration is inevitable.

      Its a bad bill that is good to campaign on. Fox and the ilk have ramped the border up to be a huge issue when it isn’t. Its almost the only weapon the GOP has, so hammering on the fact that dems had agreed to the most GOP loved, restrictive border bill in 25 years and Trump publicly and loudly killed it is a fantastic tool to use.

        Not really, no. The vast majority of undecided voters aren’t right wing people trying to decide between the parties, but left wing people trying to decide if voting is worth the bother. It of course is, but not everyone is convinced.

        Not really, no. The left doesn’t want GOP loved border bills and the left is who she’ll have to convince to turn out.

        Reminding people who hate xenophobia that the Dems are writing xenophobic and counterproductive border bills is shooting herself in the foot.

          You have to be blind or stupid to think the Democratic party is against border tightening, all of the highest numbers of deportation in the last 30 years have been with Dems in office.

          Huh? Underestimating centrists. Topics like this are for them, not leftists
