GOP strategist: Trump's immigration stance is "biggest risk" to Republicans in midterms
CBS "News" ^ | November 2, 2018

Posted on 11/02/2018 8:52:04 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

GOP strategist Dan Senor says the "biggest risk" to Republicans heading into the midterm elections is President Trump's handling of immigration issues, which he says convey "chaos." Senor served as a senior adviser to Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney during the 2012 presidential campaign.

"Where I think the president went too far is on this birthright citizenship issue – for several reasons. One, what he's proposing is unconstitutional. Two, he said sort of in a flip way, not coordinated with anyone in the congressional leadership,'I'll just do this by executive order'... and it just conveyed chaos," Senor told "CBS This Morning" on Friday, less than a week before election day.

Senor said that although Mr. Trump might have gone too far with his plan to sign an executive order removing the right to citizenship for babies of non-citizens born on U.S. soil, the caravan of migrants headed to the U.S border does raise a legitimate policy issue.

"The idea that we should have a serious policy to make sure that doesn't happen here is legitimate. When thousands of people seem to be coming to the U.S., we need some kind of policy. My impression is from a policy standpoint that's legitimate and politically it's good," Senor said.

I think we've found the problem.

Don’t you just love these “GOP strategists?” This Senor person, I believe, was one of the einsteins that helped Bush have such a successful presidency.

Actually, standing strong on the border is a winner. The Democrat base of open border surrender monkeys will not vote for Republicans anyway. And Republicans have tried decades worth of acting like Democrats to appease the fictional middle with the result being amnesty after amnesty and emboldened open borders surrender monkeys.

Another Bush League Republican trying to convince US that the only way to win is to abandon the rule of law and surrender the country with amnesty.

A question, what exactly does a GOP strategist do?
Who pays them, and for what?

Trump’s immigration stance is the biggest hope for conservatives in the midterms. It’s sad that supporting the rule of law is now controversial, but that’s what decades of media bias and inept public schools have done to our country.

The president’s immigration stance is what will put the GOP over in this election. The globalist Repukes are gasping for straws just like the RATS!
