I agree wholeheartedly! It’s that saying that if people wanted a Republican, why would they vote for a Republican light? Normal people recoil at the thought of immigrants in cages or drowning in a Texas river. So why would your argument be: “We can do enforcement better”? And why would you say that, to strengthen Social Security, you have to whittle away at it?

(By the way, too few Democrats and even fewer media “pundits” even understand 1) The trust fund was enacted in the early 1980s to account for the Baby Boomer bump; 2) The payroll tax was intended to be on 90% of your wages, but the growing income/wage disparity means that it’s nowhere near that—and the simple fix is to raise the ceiling; and 3) Social Security will never go absolutely broke unless there’s absolutely no one working and paying into it.)

P.S. Oliver, I absolutely love the Kal-El pix. They always boost my day.

I couldn't agree more. The Democrats messaging sucks big time and you're right, it just cements the right's lies in their base's minds.
