Jennings smugly thinking he has a major gotchya but when it is put that simply without any hemming and hawing by the candidate it actually sounds perfectly reasonable.

Absolutely. Wish she would have reminded him that people are not “illegal” though. It’s an inaccurate term central to the GOP’s effort to dehumanize people they don’t want in our country. And Jennings is a repulsive dickwad, so it would have been cool to call him out.
It was good to not go after the "illegal" argument. This is a discussion method called "derailling" to shift the discussion to areas where you think you can score more points.
their immigration is what is illegal, and that is just factual. the fact someone can be dehumanized because they did a crime is the problem; not the factual statement that a crime was done.
We need immigration laws for practical reasons, that’s all. It’s a crime on par with jaywalking: mostly risky for the perpetrator, almost always done for expedience rather than intent to harm, and there’s nothing inherently immoral about it.
Jennings definitely sucks but his job is to literally be the devil's advocate and defend the Republican position. I'm not sure what his exact politics are but he seems to be a heel on TV.

Voters have shown that they are very fucking stupid.
So keep the message clear, simple, and say it confidently and repetitively.
Don’t make them think or they will be turned off.
Neat.
