The Republicans Don't Give a Damn about the Border.

Some Dem spokesguy was asked today about the border, and about how it was a weakness of Kamala that had to be addressed.

The weak-ass Dem guy said yes, Kamala had to get out there and explain how it is a complicated issue.

A complicated issue? That;'s what you want her to get out there and say?

The Dems, every one, every time they are asked about the border, need to give this answer:

"The Republicans do not give a damn about the border.
They say they do but all they care about is scoring political points.
They dont really want the border problem to go away at all.
They want to keep screaming about the border
but they dont really want to DO anything about it.
A group of both Democrats and Republicans hammered out a strong conservative bill to fix the border.
This bipartisan group sent it to Congress.
But the Republicans in Congress killed it.
Why did they kill it?
Because Trump told them to kill it.
Why did Trump tell them to kill it?
Because in his view it would have helped Biden
and Trump did not want to help Biden.
Trump doesnt gi9ve a damn about the border.
Trump and his Republicans murdered the border bill.
Trump ordered the Republicans to kill the bill and so they stuck a knife in it.
The Republicans, under orders from Trump, cut the throat of that border bill.
So Trump and his Republicans claIm to care about the border
but they don't give a damn about the border
or they would have passed that bill.
So go ask Trump and the Republicans, if they care so much about the border.
why didnt they pass that border bill.
And the answer is, They dont give a damn about the border.
They just want to keep screaming about it,
but they dont really want to DO anything about it."

If you know anybody making decisions in the Harrtis campaign,
please pass this along to them. Thanks.

She very succinctly explained how Trump tanked the bipartisan border bill and that he doesn't care about the border but only about himself to use it for a political issue.

but every one ought to hammer it home every time.
I'm not sure if she was involved in forming the bill itself.
She said the Republicans dont give a damn about the border?
I missed that. I just get so frustrated at the weak-ass wiggling around too many of these spokespeople do. Getting lost demsplaining that border czar crap.
Aaaasrrgh!

and failed to get any significant legislation passed then despite all of his rhetoric. She pointed out in her speech that he was all talk.

what she said and repeat it every time theyre asked about her and thye border. The independents and undecideds need to hear it again and again, as do the media people who ask border questions. That the Repubs made it the topic of their first big ad says how important it is. Thanks for responding, wishstar.
