Riley: Trump Should Reconsider His "Failing" Strategy re: Deportations and Explaining the War

Look, the shootings of Love and Pretti were a godsend to the left. Even without them, the left's propaganda was working (or so it seems). Both shootings were easily avoidable, even if one or both turn out to have been defensible.

   The left is just better at propaganda, and it generally has and is willing to exploit the feelz angle. Those are huge advantages. Add to that: shooting a dopey, middle-aged woman who has been duped into thinking that she's fighting the Nazis in the face...well...we're in trouble.

   Sidebar: some on the right are concerned that Trump is going soft on the illegal invasion. He's said things that sound like he's shifting the focus completely onto criminals. If the left can pull that off, it really is Adios, America...

   And as for explanations/justifications for the war...I honestly have little idea what they're even saying.

   Almost makes me long for the buildup to Iraq. The reasons were bullshit...but at least we knew what they were...

   I rather wish Trump had focused on the homefront and left Iran to one of his successors to deal with...even though I think that might well be even worse. The extremist left is wrecking the country; it's a bigger threat than Iran, IMO. Take it out first. Then try to remake the ME later, if you've got the political capital...
