      You’re wrong about the border. One of his main shticks is immigrates invading the country over the southern border. If they passed the border bill, and Biden shut down the border, he loses a huge talking point with his base and a huge fear of theirs that he can prey on.

      He didn’t block it because Democrats were for it, he blocked it because he doesn’t actually care about protecting his base from any invasion, he cares only about himself.

      You’ll see that he’ll keep talking about the border.

        That’s a lot of words to say that trump tanked the border deal because the Democrats were ok with it.

          No, it’s saying he tanked it because he wants to border to be open because he believe it helps him win.

          Hell, the Democrats aren’t even “for it” it was just compromise…or really I think it was a political move to take that away from trump and get what they think is important (support for Ukraine).

          Again, just watch, he’ll hammer on the border over and over again during the general election. At that point will you admit I’m right?

              I tend to respond to obnoxiousness in kind. It’s certainly a weakness of mine.

                I do the same, but I have been trying to build the habit of not doing it.

          No, I’m not saying that. Feel free to read my clarification again.

          (Edit) Sorry thought this was in the same chain. No, I’m not saying that. I’m saying he wants the border open because he thinks it helps him win. he isn’t vocally against border security now, he’ll continue to hammer away at it because its red meat for his base. He’s against it getting closed because then he can’t hammer away at it.

              Except he’s going to continue to harp on border security. He isn’t taking the position because he just does the opposite of the Dems, he blocked it because it takes away a talking point. Now he can and will continue to talk about it. He didn’t even change his position.

        It’s worse than that. Far right extremist politicians want the country to suffer. The worse it is, the better they are doing. So he’s not only not caring about people suffering but he wants them to suffer!
