This is the Republicans' dilemma. They want to run on the economy, & even at an event held specifically to promote tax reform, Trump turns it into all immigration all the time...
1) Difference tween border security message and anti-immigrant tone. 2) Border security has broader appeal than "The Snake." It's simply not true that this is a winner EVERYWHERE except the Acela Corridor. Where the House is being contested, economic mssg would go further

Give me a second and I'll find it, but Trump is actually going backwards with downscale Rs, and Independents, not wealthier Rs & independents. More populism not less is needed. One side of the Coalition got their tax cuts, it's the other side that's disappointed and let down.

I'm not necessarily disputing. But I'm talking about how these votes are distributed. (It's why I noted this is not a problem & could help in Senate races.) Where populism is "needed" to buck up the base, Rs will win anyway. That's my contention. We'll find out either way.

Fair enough. I just think upper-scale conservative white suburbs are more open to immigration cultural appeals than others think, even conservative women. Crime, School Makeups etc. There's a reason white flight was a thing with this demo.

Fair enough back at ya. I think that's more a product of a past generation, don't agree (as you can tell.) But you argue well and your case is well thought out. Good discussion.
