Muslim murders in Paris just elected Trump or Cruz. Security is number one.
That’s what I’ve been hearing
Yes. Immigration was a winning issue even before the ISIS attack - now you can push national security to the forefront of an economic/crime issue that already had major traction.
National Security? Only an idiot would import people that are prime candidates for Jihad. Winner.
Jobs? Already a dismal market - why are we bringing unskilled labor for jobs that do not exist? Do you want young people to have the opportunity for entry level jobs? Winner.
Debt? Why add to the national debt by importing people who will take more than they give? Winner.
Education? Our public schools are already struggling. Why bring in students who will require more attention and effort? Immigrants will take away grants from our own kids for college. This hurts the education of our children! Winner.
Crime? The statistics speak for themselves. Look no further than the Federal prison population or the demographics of California/Texas prisons! Winner.
Health Care? The statistics speak for themselves. In areas with high immigrant populations healthcare is worse. Immigrants are far more likely to use public healthcare funding. Winner.
Border Security? Do we want terrorists sneaking over the border to attack us? Winner.
It’s a multifaceted issue that wins across the board - especially with blue collar democrats. This is going to be a crossover election if the cards are played correctly.
“Muslim murders in Paris just elected Trump or Cruz. Security is number one.”
For now.
Despite the ratings bump, the press will quickly ignore covering it, if they see it hurting Democrats chances. Other incidents are likely to occur before the election though, so the security issue could end up being the big one. Perhaps they will schedule an October surprise, like killing the ISIS leader, to try to flip the issue at the last minute.
Beyond Presidential approval and right track/wrong track, there are a bunch of issues that could really hurt the Dems if they become the issues of concern - security, immigration, economy, jobs, obamacare, emails, corruption.
a year is a long time in politics. GHW Bush lost an 80% approval within a year.
Lol. The stupid LIV will fall asleep again if nothing else happens. The media will paint the economy as roaring and hitlery will be elected.
Lets hope not.
In a rational world it would.
In a rational world the murder of an ambassador by a mob less than two months before an election would doom the incumbent to defeat.
In a rational world.
