And just like that, the MDL doesn't like EO any more

I'm of the opinion that all politicians lie or act on things that would cater to their fanbase. Hence, I don't really base my opinions on what politicians themselves say and prefer to do my own research.

 

But, yeah, he should definitely tweet less and stop provoking hateful rhetoric against specific groups of people.

 

 

But Trump is not just a lying, he's shameless about his lies and he doesn't lie just occasionally, he lies all the time.

I would have thought this was a subject both Parties could agree on.

That the Executive Order is unconstitutional? Or that the ban on birthright citizenship is agreeable?

Haven't read much on whether major parties are at odds internally about this. I just saw Paul Ryan's reaction to the potential EO.

 

With the history behind the 14th Amendment and anything constitution-related really, I never expect things to be smooth politically, lol.

 

Take for instance, the 2nd Amendment, interpretations of it vary. Some Republicans are against toy guns in schools while others are all for it, citing that it's a violation of the 2nd.

What percentage of the population would vote for Birthright Citizenship? Tiny.

What assumptions are you relying on for that conclusion?

Most people are basically sensible.

Not trying to rile you up. But that made me laugh so hard.

I agree with him.  Logic tends to prevail, minus the wailing, gnashing of teeth, and histrionics some exhibit. I mean, look at the margin by which Hillary won the election.
