[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anger over illegal migration helped return Mr. Trump to the presidency, and he has enacted even more aggressive policies than those Mr. Biden first campaigned against.

[b]But a New York Times examination of Mr. Biden’s record found that he and his closest advisers repeatedly rebuffed recommendations that could have addressed the border crisis faster, and eased what became a potent issue for Mr. Trump as he sought to return to the White House and justify the aggressive tactics roiling American cities today.[/b]

Former Biden administration officials told The Times that Mr. Biden and his circle of close confidants — including Ron Klain, who was chief of staff during the president’s first two years, Mike Donilon, Jennifer O’Malley Dillon and Anita Dunn — made two crucial errors.

First, they underestimated the scale of migration that was coming. Second, they failed to appreciate the political reaction to that migration — [b]believing that stronger enforcement would alienate Latino and progressive voters,[/b] and also that a border surge would not be an important issue to most voters. Those calculations would later prove to be mistaken, with many voters, including Latinos, citing immigration as a reason for supporting Mr. Trump in 2024.[/quote]

This is the crux of the issue. They cared more about re-election, party power, than what is right by the American people. [/quote]

Two wrongs still don't make a right. All of the political momentum Biden gifted the GOP has quickly been pissed away by Trump's careless immigration crackdown. [/quote]

disagree

many many swing voters are happy with the immigration crackdown.

mayorkas and Biden screwed the US voters. now we have Trump and his chaos. [/quote]

Lol... and this explains why Trump, in the first year of his second term, is already as unpopular as Biden was in 2024. Think before posting such nonsense.[/quote]

Trump can’t run again, so his popularity doesn’t matter.   And congress popularity has been in the toilet for decades.[/quote]

So you think the GOP will be able to pivot away from Trump in time to have a chance in the 2028 election? I will believe that when I see it. Based on what we experienced in the 2020 and 2024 elections, it's very, very difficult for the incumbent party to separate themselves from their very unpopular sitting POTUS in time to win an election.

We are operating on a new paradigm. Old customs and patterns  are not reliable predictors.

Really??? 2020, unpopular unfit POTUS loses everything for their party, 2024 unpopular unfit POTUS loses everything for their party, 2028 even more unpopular and unfit POTUS somehow doesn't lose everything for their party?? Is this your new paradigm? I suppose there is a 1% chance you're correct.[/quote]

Only because ballots were mailed in. (Many question 2020, not just MAGAs)

We’ll see if I’m right in the future.

But Dems are dealing with a political party that is deeply committed to establishing Christian nation state. A group that is composed of humans that know how to take one for their team, and it is a group that sticks together.

Dems are filled with a bunch of infantile know-it-alls, that prevent the dnc from unifying. Dems have no common goal. [/quote]
