As I’ve noted before, three of the four GOP factions oppose Trump’s hard line on immigration, but he’s determined to fight the midterms on that issue, because he sees it as a winner. Is he right?
I doubt it. Yes, it certainly motivates his Reactionary base, but it also triggers a powerful blue backlash, and, in any event, the base represents less than half of GOP voters. He would be wiser to talk about Gorsuch and Kavanaugh.
