He stands for nothing, he’s hollow. Narcissism drives him. He’s used a well-oiled and nearly out of control ideology to con the ignorant of this nation. He had help, but enough of them were willing and ..nearly able to elect him.

The immigration debate had been an underground concern of many if not most ‘Americans,’ vying with other shifting concerns of course. Repeating a harsh line on both legal and illegal immigration kept him ahead of the Republican pack and wooed numerous Independants. I say it gave him the win, though there’s obviously no way to pry the true feelings from those having voted for him over that issue..

As with everything, he’s mucked it up. Those, like myself, sincerely wanting greater, if consistent border enforcement and lessened immigration numbers ..will have lost, too. The only ‘reason’ I can see for ‘a wall’ or serious border fence is that it would be more difficult to ignore than increased enforcement, surveillance, deportations, employer sanctions… when the next Democratic administration or Congress appears.

Actually, as long as Republicans can continue to pack the courts, while salivating over the Ginsburg seat.. they’ll continue to chip away at the ACA ..pollute, deregulate, export jobs ..and enjoy their ill-gotten gains, they’ll remain both fat - and happy!
