The president tweeted over the weekend hes willing to shut down the government if he doesnt get the money for the wall and some bigtime immigration reforms. In the process, he may force Republican Leaders, thats his own party, and candidates into a fight they dont want to have, particularly with these midterm looming.

We must enforce the rules against visa fraud, illegal overstay, Illegal Entry and other Immigration Violations and crimes, and crimes they are, believe me, crimes they are. The president is calling for several things. He wants at least billions more in funding for a border wall. He wants to end the policy of catch and release, which lets Asylum Seekers live in the United States until their cases are heard. And he wants to

Im most interested in how this plies with voters. Im seeing a parallel to what Rudy Giuliani said this summer. Michael cohen was honest with the utmost of credibility. I would hear the same thing from house sources in particular, today talking to people, what is kind of the read on your members after this week, ahead of midterms.
