GOP leaders have told base for years Obama is shredding Constitution. Why shouldn't base demand max resistance?http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2014/11/19/morning-plum-conservative-legal-group-says-action-on-deportations-is-legal/ …
@ThePlumLineGS In some sense you have backwards. Base told leaders Obama is doing & demanded resistance. Ldrs dont like murky confrontation

@DavidMDrucker Fair enough. But GOP leaders have gone out of their way to feed the "Obama out of control lawlessness" narrative -
@ThePlumLineGS A response to exec orders that might be normal in volume but far-reaching/murky. This is a chicken/egg argument. -
@DavidMDrucker this isn't an executive order -
@ThePlumLineGS Semantics. It's executive authority. Would have been on more solid ground politically had he claimed authority from outset -
@DavidMDrucker That is certainly true. But what matters politicaly over the long term is what Latinos think of the two parties -
@ThePlumLineGS You might be right. I'm undecided in so far as it relates to this - not the the politics of immigration more broadly. -
@DavidMDrucker In short term, there is certainly a danger the politics of exec action go south and Ds blink in shutdown fight
