Today's immigration speech was just a free campaign speech

I was outraged at his sweeping "new proposals" until he got to the end where he said it would be implemented in 2020 after he's re-elected and republicans snatch the gavel from Nancy Pelosi. Of course he pointed out Cocaine Mitch would have to retain the Senate majority, so it'll happen only with total Republican control of the government and Donald Trump ensconced in the White House.

I thought about that for a minute, wondering why it was necessary to make this pie in the sky announcement a year and a half ahead of time, and realized it's his new Build the Wall 2.0. "Make America Roomier Again" 2020.

Unfortunately, the media fell for this one, being told it was a major policy announcement. It was not.

Received in 2016. It was non-stop all channel news & interviews. Hope they keep him off TV as much as possible in 2020.

thought everyone had that figured out by now. The so called Media is getting play like a cheap fiddle.
