And the winner of tonight's Democratic Candidates Debate was ... Donald Trump!
While I think voters in general are distressed at the situation at the border and do not like the image of America that “the wall” projects I don’t think they want the same benefits and rights for illegal immigrants that citizens receive. Here in NY we had a true blue wave last November, the Dems swept the state legislature in formally rock solid republican suburban long island. The democrats passed new law allowing illegal immigrants to get divers licenses. The Long Island democrat state legislatures voted unanimously vote against the law because they knew their constituents won’t go for it. Reparations was briefly mentioned once in the debate but that will backfire on them if they nominate a candidate that supports it.
That is why Biden emerged as the early front runner, it is not because voters love him or think he would be good president. He is or was the true anti Trump and anti woke candidate. But he is flailing, unsure of how to be or unable to be both the candidate of bringing back “normalcy” and not seem hopelessly retrograde.
