Here is a very good explanation on the predicament that the Dotard and GOP are facing.
Quote:
House Republicans see the numbers (the public and private ones). Four public polls were released on the subject over the last couple of days — from CBS News, CNN/SSRS, Ipsos/Daily Beast and Quinnipiac. And they all show big majorities, around two-thirds of Americans, disapproving of separating families at the border.

But there's a catch: they mostly show more Republicans approve than disapprove of the policy. That puts Republicans, especially those still facing primaries, in a predicament — break with the president and risk facing a tough challenge over a cultural issue that fires up the base, or agree with him and risk losing in a general election in swing districts, where moderate Republicans and independents, who disapprove of the policy, are key to their re-election.
So this is a Republican problem and is a Catch-22 for the party. Very good and it ain't going away unless they get honest with their base beginning with DACA. Not a chance. (where is the dancing banana )
