Rick Wilson: The One Guy Keeping the Border Open Is Donald Trump

Reid: “And the ting is, I’m glad you said we need to remember, because there is this mis-memory where people are sort of trying to remember the Trump four years as the good old days. A million people died of Covid. Kids were being screamed at on basketball courts if they were Latino and called illegals and told to get out of the country. I mean, it was an awful time and people were so exhausted they elected Joe Biden. But you know what Joe Biden is planning to do right now? He’s going to the border. Both of them, both he and Trump are going to do trips to the border. Now, the Biden team is saying they’re doing it essentially to shame Republicans who refuse to vote for that border deal, which is I guess smart politics. But what do you make of the fact that the response on the Biden side, just as a strategist, is they too are going to the border?”
Wilson: “Look, they’re going to take away the one thing Trump claims he has, which is strength on the border. Biden has offered and the Democrats have offered the best and most balanced border security bill that’s been out there in 45 years. And the people that are siding with the cartels and the coyotes and the smugglers and all the catalog of demons the Republicans talk about every day, the one guy keeping that border open is Donald Trump.”
Reid: “Yeah. Demanding it.”
Wilson: “He’s the one. And so Biden has a chance to invert this alleged strength that Trump thinks he has. If I were Biden, I would go down there and say, ‘He built a wall that’s a joke, that we paid for. He never did anything except talk on this. And the dangerous parts of the border, especially on the drug smuggling side, the fentanyl smuggling side, those are people who now rely on Donald Trump for their business model.’”
