This is a horribly written self-contradictory article. I think I know what the author is trying to say, but what he actually says makes no sense whatever. I can easily conclude, based upon his confusing statements about polling results, that the Democrats are on the winning side of the argument.
It’s really atrocious writing and Hinderaker ought to be embarrassed.
The article is only four paragraphs long, is completely coherent and self-consistent, and makes the case that Trump will get re-elected on the illegal immigration issue.
What, exactly, do you see there that is self-contradictory? I don’t see anything.
Hinderaker is a good conservative thinker and a clear writer.
