it s the little bit further part. you can say i m for a strong border. you can say i need to accepted the troops and i don t want to let them in. the democrats want them to come. george soros is paying for it and that illegal immigrant committed a heinous murder and deserves to be prosecuted, but to suggest that democrats want more of them? to talk to a strategist this morning, this is part and parcel of the tab light news culture that the president came out of. he takes an issue that people are familiar with and finds a way to push it forward every day with something new. whether it s sending troops down to the border or saying the caravan is bigger than people think. saying we are going to seal off the southern border. whether they are true or not, taking a familiar issue and keeping it in the news day after day because he knows it s politically useful. along the same lines, taking
was done by al gore bringing it up as an issue. it was run as a republican ad. george h.w. bush didn t tweet it out. he didn t put the ad out himself. it s the most racist thing. where is the republicans on this? make your case about having a strong border. we agree. don t do this? where are they? they are thrilled they are not on capitol hill and they are being chased around with cameras by reporters. power, power. they put keeping power ahead of principal and their pride. that s a story for the better part of the last 18 months and put power in the ability to get things done that conservatives want ahead of other issues. to that point though, one of the bigger issues is this might work in certain senate races. for house races, the lawmakers who are forced to respond to this and probably will be asked on the campaign trail, i don t know many house republicans who
are making this a key issue. in certain parts of pennsylvania or southern florida. this is not are inially an ad that helps them. you re right. we see evidence where we have polls where some are moving towards republicans. part is the immigration issue and part of that is the president s approval is coming up a little bit. the president thinks it s going to work. our colleague, allison is sitting down with suburban women to ask them about this issue. how many by a show of hands feel that the president is trying to gin up fear or gin up this story before the mid-terms? fear motivates people. i think that is the basis for anything that he does. do you feel there is a real crisis? in what? at the border. is there an issue? yes. is there a crisis? no. how can we pay for their
u.s.-mexico border. engine walking from los angeles to portland, oregon. the invasion, if you are inclined to accept that label, is hardly imminent. yet this is how he operates. he likes the crisis mentality. it s about to happen any second and it s bad for you. that s the way the president keeps the issues in the news. it s interesting to me that you played a couple of segments ago, some clips from a focus group of women. they said that they do believe the president is exaggerating and scare mongering, and none the less, they don t want this caravan to come into the u.s. they agree with the president on a much more discreet fundamental issue. that s how the president succeeds. they appreciate his show of strength even though they are aware of the strategy he is using. that s right. people at home watching this in texas, alabama, wherever, they
maybe we should impeach gillum as mayor of tallahassee. the president again is attempting to use scare tactics, fear mongering. this is a race to the bottom. the kind of politics they are used to. i happen to believe they are sorely under estimating the people of my state. that s not the brand of politics that we want. we begin the hour with politics and a president returning to his roots and his reflexes in the final days of a consequential mid-term campaign. for president trump that means illegal immigration as the top issue and to fear, exaggerations, and sometimes outright lies as his tools. we are told the president will speak at the white house about immigration and asylum. he would prefer you focus on immigration, not jobs or the
