President Trump is predicting that Democrats will be “beaten so badly” if they campaign on the policy of abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) -- just as the once-fringe call to scrap the agency is going mainstream among the left. In an interview to be aired Sunday with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures,” Trump was asked what he thinks about more Democrats lining up to call for the agency’s abolition. “Well I hope they keep thinking about it. Because they’re going to get beaten so badly,” he said. “You know ICE, these are the guys that go in and take MS-13, and they take them out. Because they’re much tougher than MS-13, like by a factor of 10. And these are the ones – you get rid of ICE you’re going to have a country that you’re going to be afraid to walk out of your house.” “I love that issue if they're going to actually do that,” he added. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...ts-abolish-ice-push-it-will-never-happen.html I think the President has a point here. Despite what side one may come down on the illegal immigration issue, all normal thinking people should be able to recognize that Trump's tough stand on illegal immigration contributed largely to his victory. That means this was a topic that many Americans felt strongly about. And, for the Democrats to double down and go 100% in the opposite direction is not going to resonate with many voters. Seems kind of like a no brainer to me.
Yes, but then again leftists and their leadership sort of define the term 'brainless' when it comes to politics. Look at how relentlessly they have shot themselves in the political foot since the political tide shifted on them in 2010. Aside from the MSM getting Barack Obama re-elected they accomplished zilch politically speaking except lurch even more ludicrously farther and farther Left. Common sense and the Left are like oil and water. They don't like mixing together; not for very long anyway.
because they lost the congress so soon because dems did not get out and vote in the midterms, so while Obama controlled the Presidency, republicans controlled the congress, so if you really want to complain about nothing getting done in Congress, that is all on Republicans
It's amazing how a few radical politicians and a relatively small amount of lunatics get so much attention when the progressive anti Trump media is on your side.
Uhm-Hmm And, none of them voted for Trump either, right. All those blue states turning red was because the Dems all stayed home, right?
sure some did, I was a Trump supporter at first and I normally vote dem, but sense then Trump has shown his true colors
It is NOT about getting out the vote, in general. It is about representing all the people without qualification of gender, race, sexual preference, etc. The people in Crowley's district did not feel represented enough to go out and vote for him. In the O.C. we appreciate Dana Rohrabacher, and people get out and vote for him. Moi
What did you fail to understand about Trump losing the popular vote? Voter turnout was at a 20 year low and Clinton still whooped his ass by 3 million. Trump is not popular and never had a mandate. A no brainer here.... That is not even taking into account the Russkie interference and the Hillary email nonsense just days before the election.
I think normal dems have a severe problem on their hands. The fence sitters arent going to differentiate between leftists who are talking ICE abolishment and open borders with dems who are not. Trump was elected because America did not agree with these far left ideologies and people came out to vote. The far lefts antics will cause that on steroids the next time around. If I were a lefty Id be focusing on correcting and disagreeing with the far left. I doubt they will though.
I didn't fail to understand anything. I am not interested in concerning myself with irrelevant matters. The popular vote, the Russians, Gerrymandering, Comey ... or whatever other pathetic excuses you guys parrot daily are irrelevant. Donald Trump won the election. That's all that matters. Donald Trump will win again in 2020. So, I would suggest you guys start practicing now on your "irrelevant" excuses for 2020.
I think Trump is right here. The Democrat Party just keeps doubling and tripling down on extremism here while their base is abandoning them like a sinking ship.
Trump is not popular and never has been. Without outside nefarious help the POS could never win an election. That's a fact!
LOL ..... Russia, Russia, Russia ..... Perhaps you can link to some of those so called Alt Left Universe facts. Common on ..... say it with me, nice and slow. P-R-E-S-I-D-E-N-T Donald J. Trump 2020.
you mean like all the connections with Russia he has had, how he never says anything bad about Putin, but does everyone else, not sure what is going on there, I think he fears what they know about his finances personally, but we really do not know yet I personally think he was meeting with them as he planned to lose and was looking to increase business connections... it's the coverup after he won that will get him... had he lost as he thought, he would of benefited from these new connections, trump likes to seem important, anyone that massages his ego can manipulate him imo
True.....the Blue dogs will bail on the Demos again, knowing they don't have anything for a platform. Plus more blacks and Latinos will be voting for Trump. What the leftness was hoping on tho, was for more Repubs to stay home. That wont be happening now with Trump picking another SCOTUS Judge.
yep...the interesting part is why the near center dems allow themselves to be lumped in with them. Pelosi, waters, and warren are walking billboards to vote conservative...Im not complaining...Im just surprised the left doesnt see whats happening to their party. They tripled down on a losing strategy. Its fascinating to watch unfold.
^^^^^^ That ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Is the only thing relevant in your comment. There is no ... nor has there ever been ... nor will there ever be ... any evidence of Russian collusion or evidence the Russians influenced the outcome of the election in anyway. You are just parroting baseless fake news.
I will post these poll results again to show how far to the lunatic fringe democrats are going to pander to their radical base 69% of the public doesn't want ICE to be disbanded 70% says we need STRICTER enforcement of our immigration laws 64% say deport those caught crossing illegally 53% majority believe that people who cross border illegally should be prosecuted http://harvardharrispoll.com/wp-con...HHP_Jun2018_RegisteredVoters_Topline_Memo.pdf the democrats radical base has pushed the democrat party so far to the extreme fringe they will become unelectable to the general public
It's because the extremist are in control of the party and are clearly out of control. Moderate Dems are no longer welcome in the party. The party made that clear when they announced they were abandoning the white working class.
Yet in 2010 the Demos still held onto the Senate. So held 2/3rds of government. Held with 51 Senators and had 2 Independents caucus with them. So actually no.....it wasn't all on the Repubs. Reality!
