OMG! A Democratic plot to make the Republicans look petty and unserious? Thank heavens Speaker Ryan stopped that. The Republicans are fully capable of making themselves look petty and unserious without any help.

Sans Ryan, we will see a lot of these kinds of votes with Democrats taking the bait (inside and outside of Congress).

So, to somehow hurt the Democrats they’re going to have a vote to show who supports ICE harder? This is a pretty damn easy one for Democrats. “No, I don’t support the heavy handed merciless tactic of ripping infants from their desperate, asylum seeking, parents who are escaping the worst kinds of violence in order to give their kids a shot at making it to adulthood. Apparently, my opponent is perfectly fine with tearing families apart.”

The non-nativists out there did, however, make a tactical blunder early on. By labeling this as Abolish ICE, they’ve created the impression that they’re in favor of open borders, with no control over immigration whatsoever. We all know that’s not true, but the branding was faulty. Replace ICE is the correct message.

Republicans will instead soon hold a vote on a bill introduced by Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) that expresses support for ICE to try to set themselves apart from Democrats on the agency.


Making themselves look petty and unserious instead. That’ll show 'em but good! (:eye roll emoji goes here:)
