    That is incredibly surprising of Vanderbilt child and former CIA intern, Anderson Cooper to call her out. It’s a shame the pressure didn’t lead to her head doing something that took them both out. wowee

      To be honest, I imagine there’s a segment of the deep state/bourgeois that are pretty opposed to overdoing the immigrant panic thing. If politicians go too far, it could blow back by harming their undocumented work force. There’s that golden mean of keeping them disenfranchised and distrusted, so they’re isolated and desperate, but also that their position in aggregate is stable enough to keep business steady.

      Or it’s also possible he just saw blood in the water and decided to pounce.

        Possible there’s far more rumbling out there about it than they’re comfortable carrying water for it, as well. CNN does have a brand to worry about and they have to maintain some level of legitimacy to manufacture the consent for the important stuff.

    So the only issue she had with the wall was that Trump said he’d make Mexico pay for it.

    Note that she admits obama-sad was the one who started it. Then Trump wanted to ramp it up. Now she wants to look non confrontstional in building more and basically puts some meritocracy bs to immigration “you have to earn it.”

    No discussions of the consequences of our foreign actions and that directly leading to these waves of refugees.

    I really want a reporter to ask why we don’t melt the Statue of Liberty if that is what they truly believe and want wrt to immigration now. Obviously the give us your tired, your poor, yearning to be free banter is not what the parties stand for any more. It’d be political suicide suggesting the destruction of a national icon, but I kind of want them to fall on their own sword with this.

    Remember AC is a Vanderbilt.

    But phew she’s squirming. Imagine how much imposter syndrome you feel when you genuinely are a complete fool asked to do something very public and complex like run for president.

      It can’t be that hard:

      “So, WDYMP, you have been a vocal supporter of communism.”

      “Yep”

      “And part of that involves breaking up big tech companies”

      “For sure. Fuck those guys.”

      “How do you propose to do that? Do you have a plan?”

      “Unions, Anderson. I’d get like 5 unions out of Google to talk to already existing unions.”

      “So you would just have the people working there… take over the-”

      “Yeah, the means of production, Anderson.”

      Hahahahahahahaha How The Fuck Is Getting Fact Checked Real Hahahaha Comrade Just Believe In Something Real Like Comrade Just Get Counseling From The Union Haha

    I wish she would start to imitate Trump’s way of speaking. She should be saying that the problem with Trump’s border wall is that many people are saying that it was a bad wall. Many, many people. And they know - they are wonderful people - they know he had an awful, terrible plan for that wall. The worst.

    I truly believed “anyone but Hillary” could rout trump on an election without too much trouble, but this is extreme loser energy, I can’t believe how over it is. any swing state hog that they imagine who they were trying to triangulate with this is just gonna be like “wow that’s smug as hell, I’ll just vote for trump so I don’t have to listen to that crap”.

    Once again, it’s to be expected when you bring a bunch of loser clinton advisors on to your campaign. Where tf are Obama’s people? At least he won?? Just lie like he did it’s not hard hooolllly shit. Everything they do is to try and grab Republicans and they sieck so so bad at it.
