If there is anything I have wanted Republicans to do, it is to speak for the middle class (I define “the middle class” as the majority of Americans who neither willingly tolerate condescension for others nor desire to condescend to others).I want my Congressman and my senator to say that the safety and rights of their constituents is primary, and that anyone who says otherwise about their own constituents richly deserves to “go into the private sector” (i.e., be defeated for reelection). The Republicans should be beating the Democrats like a drum on that issue.
I do have a criticism, tho. You make it sound like Trump’s program will deliver absolute security; that is a straw man argument Trump is likely to hear all too soon, when people he never had the slightest chance of catching at the border (Heaven forefend) do something awful.
And you know the Dems cannot wait for the next massacre in America to blame on him.
