Does anyone really think some Dems crying over DACA illegals actually care about them? On the contrary, they find them just as distasteful, just as much a threat to liberty as we do. But, like the Rinos who hate their own respective base, elected officials have got to suck it up and 'say the hard words'.
It's interesting how professional politicians initially choose their side. I've always thought BJ could have run as an R if he had just a slightly different orientation. Instead of his fake "I feel your pain", it could just as easily been "read my lips".
What is simultaneously amusing but also disconcerting is the number of FReepers who insist on arguing the merits of the situation. They broke the law, no rewards for lawbreakers, etc, etc, etc. Once again, no sh!t, everyone gets it. But it's not an issue about fundamentals, it's an issue about the shadow war, the information war, the meme war.
That is, the deep, long term battles to win back the republic for the people. Sometimes you have to take a hit, give up a hill, strategically retreat. DACA is the fantastic stinky turd bomb for the enemy. Concede defeat and move on to other agenda items while trying to minimize losses.
Never forget that Nov 2018 is the second most important election after 2016. Trump gains extra support, and his entire agenda will be rammed through, with ramifications lasting 50 years.
If you thing caving on DACA is a winning issue then we have lost already. Trannies are reenlisting now per Mattis. I am pretty sure President Trump said they had to go.
“Trump gains extra support, and his entire agenda will be rammed through, with ramifications lasting 50 years.”
I like the sound of that
