[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]If Trump was hoping that this would be a wedge issue to use against Democrats, it may have backfired. Republicans such as Jodi Ernst, John McCain, and Orrin Hatch have come out in opposition to Trump's move. Ernst, from Iowa and Hatch, from Utah, are particularly interesting given their very conservative political leanings and the states they represent. These are not coastal liberals. Hatch is up for reelection and Trump may have just wedged him.

Interesting. It seemed unlike Trump because it was a coherent statement spread across a few tweets, unlike his usual ranting. Smells of Pence.

I think regardless of who it was who crafted this though, that person/people know that this can function as a distraction. When Trump et al usually go this hard at a distraction, something big is about to drop. So any wedging, event attempts at wedging to use against Dems, was likely inadvertent and as you pointed out, may have backfired.

I wonder what news we're going to get tonight.[/quote]
