Populism has its good and bad points. When it works, like it did with illegal immigration , its great. But when its done based on emotion and feeling, its just way wrong.

When you say "worked"...you mean that thwarting the passage of any immigration bill ensured that we'll get an absolutely horrendus bill passed out of the Reid/Pelosi/Obama machine next year?

In hindsight, I don't think that's gonna turn out too well.

Yes, in the alternative definition of populism, it worked because the masses got together for the right cause and reasons. That definition is completely contrary, though, to what populism has become. Again, Bill O’Reilly. Whether it gets passed again is another story.

Not likely.
