Good catch. GWB won by such a small margin each time, and the immigration issue was a big blip on the radar. It’s clear that he is turning his back on the base — he doesn’t need their support any more. But this action is damaging to the republican party and it’s hard to see why he’s going down this path.

You’ve already stated the reason. He doesn’t need their support anymore. The future of the GOP - and apparently the country - are of no concern to him. He certainly doesn’t care what happens to us.
