House Speaker Paul Ryan got President Donald Trump on the phone Sunday for one final plea on behalf of anxious Republicans: Please, please talk up the booming economy in the final hours before Election Day. But Trump, unsurprisingly, had another issue on his mind. He boasted to Ryan that his focus on immigration has fired up the base, according to a source familiar with the call.

Two days out from an expected Democratic takeover of the House, Republicans focused on the chamber were profoundly worried that Trump’s obsession with all things immigration would exacerbate their losses. Many of these same Republicans welcomed Trump’s initial talk about the migrant caravan and border security two weeks ago, hoping it would gin up the GOP base in some at-risk, Republican-held districts.

But they now fear Trump went overboard — and that it could cost them dearly in key suburban districts, from Illinois to Texas. Many of them have cringed at Trump’s threats to unilaterally end birthright citizenship, as well as his recent racially tinged ad suggesting that immigrants are police killers. The president's drumbeat, they say, is drowning out news any incumbent president would be negligent not to dwell on: that the economy added a quarter-million jobs last quarter, and unemployment is below 4 percent. - Source

To be washed away--literally--by weather. Pouring rain where I am right now, bad weather all over. Guess who's used to getting out in all kinds of bad weather? Workaday people. Republicans. :) It will hurt a lot of Democrats, though. Young people especially. They will NOT be making that extra stop at the polls today in all this weather.

Republicans can afford umbrellas, will show up, poor ole welfare democrats wont because they dont want to get all wet. Even when the Dems give them a burger and pack of cigs to show up.

Nope they won't. If they were on the fence in the first place--Trump kinda hurts their feelers but they like where the economy is going--they just won't go to the polls. I can see this happening, and I can see it making a difference.

Not that I expected anything more but so far, not a single person here read or commented on my posted article. Many house republicans believe that trump should have keyed on how well the economy is doing instead of the dumpster fire he created about a threat from the southern border.

75% of the American public do NOT want that caravan here, you realize. So that is not a "dumpster fire". Paul Ryan is a pansy, enough said.

Nope... sorry... you're parroting the demtard talking point, and we don't listen to that crap.

The main issue is illegal immigration. Oh... I'm sorry... I know that hurts you mongrels and you tried real hard to change the subject. Well it just doesn't work that way anymore. We don't listen to your democrat propaganda wing like you do... sorry.

Like I said, today's election day. One way or another, votes will determine who's right.

And if those dumpster diving hordes of Diseased Illegal Aliens do get past the military at the border, we must then give them billions of our tax dollars and that will HURT the economy. Shame you are too stupid to know this, but then you are a piss ant liberal, who wants to see the US fail, so your Socialist Agenda can then come in and make everyone poor and miserable....

Dumpster Fire - a chaotic or disastrously mishandled situation. (informal).
 
"He's making stuff up in the last couple weeks in a way that I don't think we've seen from a serial liar, the President, before."

From the minute that Limbaugh and Hannity adopted him in the campaign, Trump has been focused like a laser on one thing, and one thing only, period: The Base.

He has concentrated on the border issue because no other issue scares and enrages them more than that.

That's all there is to this.
