if the election was tomorrow this would help...
I don’t think this has legs long enough to keep people pissed off till November.

If GOP candidates s simply stick to linking all democrats, to the folly and failure of Obama’s policies, they can win.
If they veer off that, in wild directions, they will lose the benefit of the “gift on a plate” issues.
You’ll see a lot of democrats claiming to not support Obama, but that will be false. The GOP candidates need to be up to instantly refuting such claims.
It will be 30 second soundbite competitions soon.
People on BOTH sides are PISSED about this, and the Democrats are doomed in November unless the Republicans do something stupid like pass immigration reform and let Obama off the hook before November.
Agreed, especially if the RINOS in the Senate help him with his problem.

I disagree, and strongly. This isn’t a one-off scandal that the press gets to shove under the rug as though its already been thoroughly reported.
This is a drip-drip-drip scandal, with new happenings every single day that will make it into the news stream one way or another. And it’s also got the local angle, as each state eventually gets sent its own batch of illegals.
The polls reflect reality. The Dems, led by Obama, have really stepped in it this time. I wouldn’t even be surprised to learn that they were losing Hispanic votes over this lawlessness. After all, many Hispanics jumped through the proper legal hoops to get here legally. Now their own family members wait for approval while the Dems ship gang members over the border, more likely to join their communities in the U.S. and terrorize the legal Hispanics in the bargain.
This is why, by the way, Boehner was wise to avoid suing over the immigration mess. Let this one play out in public with local GOP politicians railing against the invasion of their individual states and communities. The Dems in the Red States are terrified at how this is playing out.
I think it does have legs. The number of illegals crossing is still large, not as many as a few weeks ago but large. Many dangerous criminals are crossing as well, MS 13 and others. As they commit terrible crimes (they will) it will keep feeding the news. People are very upset so will be paying more attention to the border issues than normal.
