Polling roundup: Trump is underwater on 11 of 12 questions about immigration and the LA protests Polls show voters don't like mass deportations or the federal troops. At this point, Trump has moved policy solidly beyond what public opinion has sanctioned.

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.

I had a busy day and can’t follow everything that happened, but I can’t believe anyone who does politics for a living needs to be told this. WTF is wrong with Dem leadership?
