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  )

^^He will probably claim that he is fixing the 'Democrat' law and his legion of deplorables will swallow it.

Probably due to the “optics”. Doesn’t play well to have the Pope calling you out.

Top Finance Dem wants panel to investigate Trump Foundation
http://thehill.com/policy/finance/39...ump-foundation
Doubt that the Repubes will allow it to proceed. From what I’ve read, if the IRS and other federal agencies refuse to proceed with criminal investigations, it will go back to the NY AG, who can open criminal proceedings. Don the Con won’t be getting out of this one any time soon. Good.

On Fox “News”, family separation at the border isn’t Trump’s fault. It’s Democrats’.
They are reinforcing Trump’s story that Democrats made him implement this cruel policy.

And their idiot viewers just suck it all in, incapable of an independent thought.

It is so weird. The German authorities published the latest criminal statistics a couple of days ago, they show a drop of criminal cases in the last year in Germany.
Some rapes and killings committed by immigrants made the headlines in the last months, that - on the other hand - is also true.

By the way - German political analysts say that Trumps nonsense regarding German immigrants is trying to distract from his own immigrant issues.
