@caissad4 saidMaybe in October another "caravan" of immigrants will be "discovered" to be heading toward the US southern border from a thousand miles away. Remember that old song? Trump sent hundreds of US troops to the border in a huge political stunt that was an egregious abuse of the military personnel.
Feels like it is coming soon .
The troops were made to hang around for weeks in the middle of nowhere, all in an attempt to gin up fear that the nation was about to be "invaded" by brown people. It was straight from the old GOP playbook, which has a proud tradition of race baiting dating back to the Willy Horton ads and further back. The hope, of course, was that the ridiculous stunt would boost Republican poll numbers on the eve of an election. It didn't work, and when the "caravan" showed up it was maybe a few dozen people.

ADMINISTRATION ADMITS BORDER DEPLOYMENT WAS A $200 MILLION ELECTION STUNT
The military is leaving the southern border, and the caravan hasn’t even arrived yet.
Several weeks before the midterm elections, worried that Democrats would sweep the House and start digging into his finances, Donald Trump started telling a series of bald-faced lies in an attempt to get people to vote Republican. One of them was that his trade war with China was just about to wrap up. Another was that Americans could kiss their “beautiful” 401(k)s goodbye if Dems flipped just one chamber of the Congress. The most elaborate by far, though, was about a migrant caravan made up of asylum-seekers approaching the U.S.-Mexico border. First, the president claimed, with no evidence, that “criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed” in with the group. Then he spread the quite obviously false rumor that liberal hedge-fund manager George Soros has been paying these people. Later, he declared that the caravan comprised mostly of women and children fleeing violence and poverty is “actually mostly men” who were “pushing the few kids right up to the front” when the cameras are out, and that a group of people planning to surrender at the border and ask for amnesty through the proper legal channels is no different than a hostile invasion from a foreign country. (“You look at that, it almost looks like an invasion. . . . I think it could be considered an invasion of our country. We can’t have it.” )
We can expect Cumquat Caligula to try something even more demented in October 2020. You heard it here first.

"Tearing down history." That is rich. Frankly it's hysterical.
Wouldn't it be nice if tearing down a statue to a Confederate traitor simply erased said traitor from the timeline. But, you know: reality. Deal with it. And deal with "your boy" plunging to new lows in polls every time he opens his orange gob.
EDIT: had to change "man" to "boy" -- I concede it is more appropriate.

@uglytoproll saidBecause of the math, actually.
Because he would have to deal with leftist cry babies trying to get him fired or worse.
@uglytoproll saidDo you know what a 1/3 chance means?
Well obviously he was way wrong back then too.
1/3rd
He crushed 2016.
Nate Silver is retarded.
