You can motivate the base but if you piss off 2/3rds of the country you are going to lose.

I too, do not know which way it will go. I think its true that many want to see immigrants suffer like this. Its payback baby! Because they are responsible for their shitty lives, shitty marriages, shitty jobs. That is what they have been brainwashed into believing. It will be a battle between Democrats trying to appeal to basic human values, and Trumpublicans using fear and xenophobia, and lies to bring out their base. And they will come out in droves because they know that if Trump fails, it may be a while before they can get another asshole devoid of empathy and decency in the WH to do the dirty work they want done.
