Wrong word choice on my part. I meant, obviously, and should have used, “pro-immigration” or “anti-immigration”. If a candidate on stage would make the same slip of tongue, there would be a national convulsion of horror. We are conditioned that way.
I don’t think your use of what you wrote was wrong. I was just adding to your comment some of my own thoughts about it.
I think we all know that a politician is going to try and be as bland and nonspecific as he/she can It’s the nature of the beast and often is expertly exemplified in RINOs. For Democrats? Well they just lie.
There are rare exceptions to this weasel wording, though. There have been politicians who dared step outside that appeasement of victim and special interests and actually said what was in their hearts. I think Ronald Reagan was one.
He wasn’t afraid to say what he thought. He knew (personally) both sides of that political coin for sure, but more importantly he had the truth of his convictions and that was what resonated with so many - curiously the same quality why liberals and Democrats loathe him so.
