Title: Which would be most impressive for a Republican? Post by: Arbitrage1980 on November 18, 2017, 04:08:31 PM Let's limit this to a generic Republican, not necessarily Trump. Also, let's assume the GOP nominee is not from any of these states, in order to take away the hometown impact.

A republican staying within 10 points there would require a GOP landslide nationally.

Reagan came to regret granting amnesty. His reason for doing so in the first place were mainly geopolitical: he was afraid that if the illegals returned to Mexico, they would vote in a communist government into power. The GOP is the party of law and order. The notion that we have to pander to Democrats who believe that those who break our laws to enter our country illegally should be rewarded with not just government benefits but also U.S. citizenship, is pretty ridiculous. Thankfully, we now have a President who enforces our immigration laws. Title: Re: Which would be most impressive for a Republican?
