The "Border Crisis" can no longer be a political issue.

[lees1975]

The GOP just scuttled it.

So, it remains to be seen how many moronic Americans there are, and how many people were really sincere about border policy reform, or whether that was just politics. If it was the latter, and that's obvious now, it's a question of how many votes that's actually going to cost the GOP. Are we still working through those on the margins who see this for what it is and either won't show up in November or will switch their vote, as sensible Americans would do, or are they buried so far in their ignorance and stupidity that they can't think anymore?

I have a neighbor who has been waving the border issue as a GOP flag for a while now. I ran into him while I was out walking my dog and I asked him, "So what do you think of your party wanting to keep the border open?" He had not heard what had happened, hadn't been paying attention, had to go check it out and when he finally came back, he was devastated. My parting question, "How in the world can you vote for that?"

1. Do as I say, not as I do.

Classic.

2. We need to keep hammering it home

the toxic right-wing propaganda machine will ignore what the GOP did and keep blaming President Biden. We can't let them

[Mad_Machine76]

4. The Republicans have scuttled every single Bipartisan Agreement on the Border for years now

That needs to be emphasized too. There was the 2013 Senate compromise, I believe that Trump scuttled a deal, and now this. Republicans don't want a solution on the Border, they want a permanent "problem" to campaign on.

3. K&R

5. You're mistaken. They're saying the bill that just failed was a bill to fund foreign wars

and they're happy it failed.

You can call them stupid till the cows come home but we need mushy middle voters.

6. I'm in NC, and all the Republican ads are about the border.

The ads are full of vile lies, dehumanizing people and stating that "Biden has done nothing while America is being invaded."

Good for you for confronting your neighbor.

7. They should remake some of those ads, and point out that Biden offered the legislation they wanted

and they took orders from the orange headed buffoon instead. I don't think a lot of Republican voters can wrap their mind around this refusal yet. Sooner or later they will have to acknowledge he screwed them.

8. We need a lot more Republicans to be "devasted" to learn their leaders are playing them for fools

Getting them all riled up about the "border crisis" then rejecting the solution they demanded because their purpose is to use it as a campaign issue, not to actually solve the problem.

As we've seen during this era of Trumpism, no behavior, no matter how craven, will dislodge the fealty of their voters.
