Bring border crossings down. they are up again. then own it. and the attorney general has and john kelly gave a talk about this. homeland security has been talking about this. if there is rationale then own it as the rest of your administration has leading up to this point. dont blame past laws. there are laws you can quibble with that could have led to this point but there is a clear policy shift which has been debated for months inside the administration. that is the perplexing thing. i do kee...

Ones. we thought the others were the christian conservatives, the religious right. turns out they were two different things. they were stapled together, religious right and populous vote. both huckabee and santorum were barely plucking that. this base was voting republican not because they believe what he believe -- low taxes, low regulation, pro life -- but almost out of a cultural affinity. then trump came and this hidden thing he brought out. the party wasnt really representing the base, the ...
