New Poll: Yep, There’s a Crisis at the Border
TownHall ^ | 9 Jan, 2018 | Katie Pavlich

Democrats have accused the President of over blowing the situation and manufacturing a crisis. But according to a new poll, there are plenty of Americans who believe the current situation is in fact a crisis. From POLITICO/Morning Consult:

According to the poll, conducted Jan. 4-6 among 1,989 registered voters, a 42-percent plurality think there is an illegal immigration crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, which Trump has argued as he’s tried to leverage a partial government shutdown to secure congressional funding for his proposed southern border wall. Another 37 percent of voters said there’s a problem but not a crisis, and 12 percent said there’s neither a problem nor a crisis.

I see a lot of congresscritters losing their jobs if they’re incapable of reading a bar chart.

Whenever a poll has information that is bad news for the left, they always parse. Rather than asking a straightforward question, the divide it into a “problem” and “crisis.” Cute trick that allows them to claim a bare plurality.

If they can ever get the problem with the west coast border
included in these discussions it will help increase peoples
awareness even more. A lot of people come in legally via
visas but then don’t leave when the visa has expired.

This poll means nothing since the Demons won control of the House and have been given a Green light to thwart Trump at every step. You probably would have to explain the meaning of the word “crisis” since the moronic electorate made it meaningless.

Just like wall, The House Freedom Caucus along with Trump's Veto pen is a force multiplier - The RATs can't get over that - they will have to negotiate.

It took Lincoln 4 years to break the Democrat Rebellion, Trump is just getting started against the Democrat Resistant.

Unfortunately I don’t think the electorate cares enough to give Trump another election victory, the last was a miracle.

Always a percentage of people who 'don't know'

>>Unfortunately I don’t think the electorate cares enough to give Trump another election victory, the last was a miracle.<<

If I may suggest, you’re being misled by fake news and Democrat-loving pollsters. The ‘rats have absolutely no one in their mob of thugs who can beat Trump. Name one if you think I’m mistaken about that. My only caveat is that no one can predict what will happen between now and the next election to improve or worsen the likelihood of Trumps re-election.

Democrats in October: Believe women! Kav is a rapist! #MeToo
Trump in January: 1 in 3 women are raped or assaulted trying to cross illegally.
CBS in January: Fact Ckeck: 60-80% of women are raped or assaulted crossing the border
Democrats in January: What crisis? Everything is fine.

So even only 21% of Democrat voters agree with Nancy that there is no issue. Keep going Trump. I think he totally has a mandate to use the military.

The electorate wants Trump. He would’ve won by more except for voter fraud. The MMS said there was no chance of him winning last time either.

It’s time for you to quit watching CNN.

I have not watched CNN, MSNBC, nor Fox with any regularity in years and depend on them for nothing. Just because I don’t swallow all the excuses for the huge losses in the House last election does not mean that I have no thoughts of my own.

The claims of extraordinary election fraud cannot be accepted without much more evidence than has been revealed. Every election since the beginning has been filled with fraud as any glance at American history clearly shows.

Things have changed since 2016 for the worst and the results make that clear. It is hard to see how most of the losers could have lost given the major issues before the nation. These defeats are inexcusable.

Republicans cannot compete with the professional political party and it will not be surprised next time.

I was perhaps the first supporter of Trump here and contrary to almost the whole rest of FR believed he would win. I even won bets. But the Demons won’t nominate a lazy, inarticulate, hateful dumbass next time.

Illegal voting can overcome small differences in an election but this one should have been a huge victory. There is no excuse for the GOP to have lost the House but we are reliant upon the stupidest electorate in history, always a losing proposition. The brainwashing is complete and irrevocable unless the Goebbelsmedia is destroyed.

The mass of the people just don’t give a damn.
