No, polls showed that 80%+ of Republicans opposed Obama’s acion and more than half of all Americans oppose it. And that when there has been NO educational effort on the part of anyone on the Republican side other than Jeff Sessions and occasionally a few others.
If ‘leadership’ had had any desire to defeat this, they’d have been holding press conferences and issing statements almost daily. It would have been one of the easiest selling jobs ever. It was all a ruse and they had no desire to stop the amnesty.
“No, polls showed that 80%+ of Republicans opposed Obama’s action and more than half of all Americans oppose it.”
Those polls are irrelevant. Show me a poll where the majority of all Americans support shutting down all, or a part, of the government to fight Obama’s action.
You’re trying to make the argument that since the republican won on a platform of stopping Obama, they are justified in taking any and all actions. Just name me one Republican that campaigned on “elect me and I will stop Obama even if that means I have to shut down the government”.
