How does that change one vote, it has always been their fault?
It’s a perception thing. Pelosi asked for time and got it. If she achieves nothing, that’s on her. Trump starts deportation which his base wants and when the dem base bitches Trump can say “Hey, I gave them the time they asked for and they did nothing. I’m just following the law”.
The mushy middle is who this is aimed at. The ones who just want a fig leaf of cover because they don’t like watching the sausage get made.
Appearance of reasonableness achieved.
