legal or illegal doesn't matter. He hates all immigrants (except Melania of course, maybe even her). This hate resonates so well with the republican base that they chose him over Haley, Desantis, etc, who share similar policy but have nowhere near the baggage.

I would have thought Mar a Lago documents case would have been the final straw, but once again, I overestimated the republican base voters.

I don't think his secret with Johnson was about the election. CincyDem Nov 29 #57
Don't think so. returnee Nov 29 #67
Right...but the house can create the circumstances that allow Trump to declare congress in recess. CincyDem Nov 29 #85
