The contours of a second-term agenda for President Trump are coming into view, 18 months before the 2020 election.
Immigration and the economy will be at its heart, just as they were during his 2016 run. But issues of trade and deregulation will be there, too — as will a nominal proposal to replace ObamaCare with some as-yet-unspecified legislation.
It’s a very early stage at which to begin laying out a second-term platform. But supporters of the president argue the haste is justified. The Democratic nomination process, featuring a huge field of contenders, is already consuming a lot of media oxygen.
“You have to air these things now,” said Brad Blakeman, a senior staffer in former President George W.

It better include major increases in enforcement and NO amnesty.
If Flimsey Grahamnesty is re-elected, he’s going to be saying the voters want amnesty.
Graham’s been talking tougher since McCain died. Why, I don’t know.
Maybe it’s just pre-election BS, as it has been in the past. Maybe, as BB King used to sing, “The thrill is gone,” and he’s freed from McCain’s spell (or blackmail threats).
It’s the McCain two-step.
He learned from the master.
We need the house, 60 in the Senate and President Trump.
The ‘rats really have but two issues:
1. incremental steps to gun grabbing
2. incremental steps to make the USA Venezuela 2.0
According to Freeper LS, he has gone from Lindsay Grahamnesty to Lindsay Granite.
Exactly.
If the GOP Congress would have done their fricking job, Trump wouldn’t need a 2nd term.
When is he up for reelection?
Get rid of the following ... voter fraud ... any and all benefits for illegals ... marxism/socialism indoctrination in the schools ... lobbyist monies/bribery ... just a short list

He knows he can’t run against President Trump, so he’s playing like he is on our side.
As soon as he is re-elected, he’ll be pushing amnesty again.
Flimsey Grahamnesty has supported and voted for EVERY amnesty bill before him since 2006.
Cheap Labor Express stooges do not change their stripes, they just try to hide them at re-election time.
He has done this before.I dont trust him as far as I can throw him.
While I don’t trust Lindsey Granite, he has improved 1000% since McTurd croaked.
I am cautious to constantly blame Jared. First, regardless of what some people say, there is an element of anti-semitism in this. Second, while he is more open-border than someone like Miller, he’s very smart and knows immigration must be tightly controlled.
I think what Jared is trying to do is walk a very fine line between admitting the H1-B people in lower numbers to appease the tech guys while keeping a lid on everything else.
Meanwhile, Granite has been worth his weight in judges.
