    Note that she admits obama-sad was the one who started it. Then Trump wanted to ramp it up. Now she wants to look non confrontstional in building more and basically puts some meritocracy bs to immigration “you have to earn it.”

    No discussions of the consequences of our foreign actions and that directly leading to these waves of refugees.

    I really want a reporter to ask why we don’t melt the Statue of Liberty if that is what they truly believe and want wrt to immigration now. Obviously the give us your tired, your poor, yearning to be free banter is not what the parties stand for any more. It’d be political suicide suggesting the destruction of a national icon, but I kind of want them to fall on their own sword with this.

      Reminder that America’s initial love for immigration came from the need to populate the empire with loyal white soldiers who could hold it against blacks and the indigenous, the same way Israel loves immigration (only if it is white jews).

      To be honest, I imagine there’s a segment of the deep state/bourgeois that are pretty opposed to overdoing the immigrant panic thing. If politicians go too far, it could blow back by harming their undocumented work force. There’s that golden mean of keeping them disenfranchised and distrusted, so they’re isolated and desperate, but also that their position in aggregate is stable enough to keep business steady.

      Or it’s also possible he just saw blood in the water and decided to pounce.

        Possible there’s far more rumbling out there about it than they’re comfortable carrying water for it, as well. CNN does have a brand to worry about and they have to maintain some level of legitimacy to manufacture the consent for the important stuff.

            She definitely wanted to say that building the wall is a good idea. She didn’t want to get clipped saying “Trump’s wall was a good idea” because that would be horrible for her campaign. Thus you get this yes-without-saying-yes bs.

        This should be even easier than 2016 was, because back then, Trump was still new. Now, he’s already been president, he’s incredibly unpopular, he had a fucking felony conviction, and there’s MUCH less enthusiasm for him from the Republican base.

      They are on a fast track to rehabilitating Trump before the election is even over. If Trump wins they’ll be all civility and bi partisan. They are locking themselves into helping him with anything he wants rather than be you know…an opposition party for 2 years and then lame ducking him for the last 2 after 2026.

    I truly believed “anyone but Hillary” could rout trump on an election without too much trouble, but this is extreme loser energy, I can’t believe how over it is. any swing state hog that they imagine who they were trying to triangulate with this is just gonna be like “wow that’s smug as hell, I’ll just vote for trump so I don’t have to listen to that crap”.

    Once again, it’s to be expected when you bring a bunch of loser clinton advisors on to your campaign. Where tf are Obama’s people? At least he won?? Just lie like he did it’s not hard hooolllly shit. Everything they do is to try and grab Republicans and they sieck so so bad at it.
