I have a hunch that Obama’s usurpation of power is not going to go over well in flyover country and maybe not even in urban areas where unemployment is already sky high. There will be a small slice of the electorate who will approve of what he’s doing, but most are going to be spitting mad.
He is sitting at 37% approval and support for executive amnesty is even lower than that.
It’s clear he’s trying to split the GOP into warring factions so that they will not unite heading into 2016. He’s hoping for third party candidates to emerge for president and for state offices.
The GOP can’t take the bait. They must find common ground and a common strategy which both accomplishes a pushback and also preserves unity for the next two years. Let the cooler heads prevail. Obama would LOVE impeachment proceedings and a government shutdown.
If the GOP wins the presidency in 2016, all of Obama’s edicts can be rolled back with a stroke of the pen.
What are we going to do then with all the illegals who have new jobs, insurance, documentation, leases, and bank accounts? The executive action can be revoked but not the consequences so easily.
