I understand why a good portion of people voted for him. There is a large percentage of people who would never have voted for Hillary Clinton. I get it… I understand that.
I have my doubts that they would vote for him again.
Actually only about a quarter of the people voted for him… since nearly half the electorate stayed home in 2016. One the factors in the large number of Democratic electoral victories since Trump’s inauguration is that Trump’s turnout is greatly increasing turnout. In most instances, this works to Republican disadvantage, which is why the Republicans are undertaking so many voter suppression initiatives.
Actually it was roughly 27% of eligible voters and 19% of the total population. So 73% of voters didn’t vote for him. And 81% of the population didn’t. Nothing approaching half support.
He’s going to have give something, maybe 6 years temporary legal status, in order to get 60 votes. He needs to bypass Pelosi and Schumer, forget them, they don’t want to to give any new steel slats/wall, go to Red State Democrats, like Manchin in the Senate and people like Abigail in the House (who beat Brat in Northern Virginia), to get some wall funding for the short term.
Not going to get a long term fix in the next 3 weeks. For the long term, for the full wall, of 25 $ billion, there is going to have to be a path to citizenship, with strict limits on the DACA kids, but they have to get rid of the visa lottery and chain migration. No way let those parents who came here illegally to get any legalization status. No welfare benefits, not one felony, and 10 years or so to get citizenship for DACA kids only. Can’t expect to satisfy Coulter who want 11-20 million people deported.
Regardless of whether Trump was aware or not (I have no idea), he is the owner of the establishment. Do you think he has responsibility for what happens there? Do you think the leader of the organization sets the tone and the ethical standards? Or as long as he is unaware of how people are making him money then he has no responsibility?
I think the managers that knew should be fired. I think his COMPANY should receive the same fine as any company found to have known they were employing illegals.
