Have a great Sunday.

Framing these kind of arguments is why the dimocrats lost every swing state. The important contrast is not the comparison of Trump's border policies to some greater expectation that he failed to meet. The important contrast is the United States border under Trump versus the United States border under Biden or Harris. Night and day. The actual border has been so altered in such a short period of time that it is not each day's lead news story and is considered to be under control.

The "subject" is priorities. The US border or foreign borders. I live in Houston. One of my properties was actually abused by an MS13 enclave. My personal safety and the people in my city, state and country is my priority.

The issues in Ukraine are not over and settled. Macron et al wont get anything done. Zelensky will have to come back to Trump. Trump and Vance are in the process of realigning his expectations with a reality that will provide some kind of prospect for a negotiated cease fire. Defeating and expelling Russia is not a realistic expectation. Another endless war is not a desirable involvement.
