Trump: Democratic voters will support Republicans because of ICE criticism
The Hill ^ | 07/02/18 | Brett Samuels

President Trump on Monday said that some Democratic voters will defect to the Republican Party because of Democrats' growing criticism of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

"Many Democrats are deeply concerned about the fact that their “leadership” wants to denounce and abandon the great men and women of ICE, thereby declaring war on Law & Order. These people will be voting for Republicans in November and, in many cases, joining the Republican Party!"

The president has seized on calls from some Democrats, including many said to be eyeing 2020 White House bids, to abolish ICE and restart a similar agency from scratch amid heated pushback to Trump's immigration policies.

Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) have called for ICE to be eliminated, while Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) said the agency should be "critically re-examined," and possibly started anew.

Other Democrats have been less committal, saying only that they believe ICE's methods should be examined and that Trump's immigration policies should be undone.

Trump takes a stand and digs in. That’s got to drive Democrats nuts who are used to feckless Republicans.

Voters must be made to understand that a vote for any Democrat is a vote to destroy America!

Indeed many will.

And those “Traditional Democrats” that refuse to recognize what Trump is doing for their benefit are lost.

“show up at the polling places”

How quaint. Her in CA they did away with “neighborhood polling places”. Now they send you a ballot in the mail, and you fill it out and...

1. Mail it in.

2. Take it to a “drop off location” before election day.

3. Or, if you don’t do the above you can go to a handful of “voting centers” that are few and far between on election day.

This brought to you from the same people who say it’s too hard for blacks and Hispanics to show an ID.

Why is The Donald warning the dems of losing behavior. “Don’t get in the way of a man losing the battle.”
