In my previous post, I offered my first shocked-and-awed thoughts about the “immigration compromise” to a breathless world, clamoring to know my take. If I am in any way typical, it’s a deep self-inflicted wound for the Republican Party. But maybe I’m not typical. So, how does this Amnesty-in-Drag hurt Republican prospects in the near term. Today David […]
