Anybody who has followed politics for more than five minutes knows that all politicians exaggerate their accomplishments. Biden exaggerates the truth. Trump simply lies and Republicans love his lies.

Immigration, immigration, immigration...there was a chance to significantly improve border security but Lord Bigly said no because of politics and the sheep followed. One of my favorite parts of Biden's speech involved immigration. Biden is speaking the truth about the recent rejection of border legislation by Republicans. Republicans are shaking their heads in deniial and booing. James Lankford with a stone cold looking face is shaking his head in agreement because he knows that Biden is telling the truth and his fellow Republicans are lying about the border bill. James Langford, a very conservative Republican poured his heart and soul into that bill for months and he knows exactly what the bill could accomplish to solve one of the nation's biggest problems. I wonder how long it will be until Langfrord gets the Liz Cheney treatment for trying to bravely speak the truth to his fellow Republicans.

I think Trump picked up voters from President Bidens' speech.

The GOP made several unforced tactical errors on Thursday.
Biden needed to go before the Democratic politicians and party members in Congress and throughout the country, and show his team why he still deserved their support. He needed to do the same with the democrats around the country that voted for him in 2020. He also needed to show Haley supporters and independents that he had enough on the ball for 4 more years. And he needed to convince the media that he still could do the job.
He accomplished that, especially when he tore into the vocal GOP critics.
They should never have started up with Biden. He loves to hammer kibitzers. By taking them on, he showed he was still sharp. Last year he did the same. Margaret Taylor Greene and the GOP never learn.

Secondly, Katie Britt and her advisors screwed up royally. They had to show the Haley voters, the GOP voters that didn’t vote for Trump, and the independents why they should vote republican in November.
She failed utterly. She clearly implied that the GOP wants women back in the kitchen and out of the workforce, staying home and taking care of her family. She further implied that the GOP was the party of white Christian believers. The GOP already has those voters. She absolutely needed to reach across and gather in the rest of the country. She deliberately didn’t do this. Why? Because the GOP wants to convert this country into a theocracy led by white Christian males.

A great point . Trump continues to pander to voters already he has rather than trying win over voters on the fence. If trump would have campaigned for independent voters in 2020 he would have won , but he didn’t. He held closed rallies total focused on maga people to the exclusion of all others- just so he could hear the applause .

With all that mumbo-jumbo you just posted you ignore the fact that Joe Biden and the Democrats are playing politics with immigration. Why are they doing this and why do they want it so bad now? Because it’s election year.

Honest brokers in both parties have been working on immigration reform for over 20 years. Pelosi and Trump almost had a deal, as seen on tv, until McConnell killed it.
There’s a deal on the table now that will help, it’s not perfect, but it’s a step forward. But if it it’s enacted, Trump has nothing to say. He needs immigration as a platform. He’s the one, along with his cult followers in Congress holding up reform.

And yet just like a typical lefty cultists, you’re ignoring the fact that the Democrats and Joe Biden are playing politics with immigration. Why is there such urgency now? Because it’s an election year. Democrats have the skill of causing the problem and trying to find a solution to the problem they created. The border wasn’t much better shape under President Trump and it ever has been under Joe Biden, the failed president.
