Republicans will have to defend Trump and taking children from parents...They can't.

Oh, they can try. "Against the law"..."illegals coming into America"....etc. etc. etc.

They can't...and they lose. This is the stupidest thing Trump has done, and most republicans know it. This is illegal and immoral. What we need to see is a swelling of resistance to this from everyone. All of us. Everyone knows this is wrong...end of comment..

...they got in this position by appealing to only the 30-40% of the voting public and that's who they will continue to appeal to. And they know anything they say (mostly this one being the Democrats fault) will be bought hook line and sinker and will be parroted by their base. And they know at most half of the media will actually call them out on it and the other half is either in their pocket or too scared to step away from their "both sides" approach.

If only 27 percent will buy this nonsense, and the rest of us don't...then the Republican Party is a thing of the past. That party could lose the November election so bad that they will have only 30 percent of both houses.. We will see..

..and for that one thing that we think is going to sink them and they won't support. But it never comes. If it hasn't come with what we've seen so far then I doubt we ever will.

Trump's approval will go down to 30 percent. The lowest ever (except for Nixon right before he resigned)..
....As it goes down, Trump will defend this. This is not defensible. Republicans who defend Trump will lose not today, but in November. You cannot take kids from their parents for this reason. There has to be a legal determination by a court. Trump will lose and lose in a way that is unbelievable
