Come Sept - the funding for Iraq will be reconsidered and the President will need A LOT of support from the base for that. Some will support him because they support the war. But a big chunk of the base will be gone forever for this President - as he, essentially, spits in their face on immigration.
Good point. If he won't stick up for us there is no way I am going to stick up for him.
“But a big chunk of the base will be gone forever for this President - as he, essentially, spits in their face on immigration.”
Why he would do this - alienate his base - in a time of War is beyond reckless.
I think he is pulling a macchiavelian maneuver by coming out for this. He’s with the dems and most of the country is against it. He’s not running again and the republican candidates are all against this.
He is paving the way for another Republican presidency.
As for the funding for Iraq - dems not passing it would be political suicide.
