Itās just as well because they lost the Hispanic/Latino vote a while back. What I think they might also be losing (amongst other blocs) is the business community. Itās both large and small businesses that want comprehensive immigration reform done and I canāt see how they back the GOP on this. I really donāt see what they get out of this anymore.

āBut I do believe that if we try to move in a comprehensive way with a president who has proven that he wants to go it alone, I donāt think that works.ā
āBut I do believe that if we try to move in a comprehensive way with a president who is not from our party, then he/they get the credit, and we view this as solely as vote-buying, so that doesnāt work for us.ā

How do you ādouble downā on something that had, literally, absolutely no chance of happening in any way anyway?
You canāt smell the ethanol sweat through your monitor.
What a maroon .
I think he is a secret double agent for the Dems.
If a bipartisan immigration bill was brought to the floor it would pass in a heartbeat.
This will ensure continued alienation of Hispanics and other minorities . Good Job! Thanks Paul
Note to Reince : Hows that rebranding big tent thing coming along ?

āDouble Downāā¦ I know whenever I see that phrase along with anything related to the GOP, good things are always about to happen (deep, deeeep sarcasm).

It plays well with the uninformed RW votersā¦
Thereās a bipartisan Senate bill, ready to go. All it needs is a vote. Heck, you donāt even have to vote yes, if you donāt want to.
But instead, letās shut down the GOP debate on Telemundo, promise to build a wall, stick Mexico with the bill, and deport 11 million people ālovinglyā within two years.
Way to win over an electorate. Please proceed, GOP.

Ruh-roh! They may want to change the name of that rule.

Hastert Rule = Taxation without Representation
You would think the Tea Party might object to this concept, instead of advocating for itā¦
Ahā¦the old āend runā memeā¦of course, the HOUSE wrote a letter to a foreign government AGAINST the President of the US (hint: THEIR President) but that wasnāt an āend runā. That was āconcernā. Uh huh.

Ryan took the job under duress and his biggest condition was that he didnāt want to have to work too hard. Look for a lot of bluster and no substance from Speaker Ryan for the totality of his tenure.

The classic GOP quandary. How can we make voters whom we despise like us? How can we make our Party more inclusive of people of color while excluding people of color from voting?
