Republican fearmongering on immigration reaches new heights before mid-terms

This is as bad, if not worse, than the Willie Horton adverts that helped sink Dukakis in 1988. Come on Trump fans - this is surely beyond all reasonable limits or is there no bottom to your barrel ?

Is this what American politics is now reduced to ? By the way, this guy was deported under Bill Clinton and came back under George W Bush when Republicans had control over both houses of Congress, so unsurprisingly this is yet another lie from the occupant of the White House who never bothers to check his facts.

While Fox News and Trump are scaremongering non-stop about the national security threat from this "migrant caravan" - we see an uptick in far-right terror that the White House has helped stoke. Over the last decade, 71% of domestic extremist related killings in the US were linked to the far-right. Are going to see any ads condemning domestic right-wing terror tweeted by Donald Trump ? Don't hold your breath.

Nobody cares about the lyrics when the beat is nice, here no body cares about the facts because what he's saying just sounds good. They call him president white pride for a reason. For the sake of western secularism, I hope the democrats win big on Tuesday.

Polls say Senate to remain Republican and House to go to Democrats. But do we believe polls?

As we all know, polls said that Hillary was going to win by a landslide. It was a forgone conclusion.

I’ve been glued to American politics for the last 2 years even though I live in the Uk.

I’m confident the democrats will take the house but the senate map looks unlikely.

These desperate fear tactics will not work for Trump this time.

Actually the polls were right in the generic sense that Hillary did beat Trump in the popular vote by 3 million.

Where they got it wrong was in the rust belt like Michigan as unlikely voters and some democrats came out in favour of Trump.

That said I think there will be a few surprises. Some solid Republicans seats will flip both in the house and senate.

Not worth your time. It is just absolute sewer. Finger pointing and blame game from both sides.

Not worth the time. At least not much of mine.

As you may already know, popular vote means nothing in our elections. The polls had her at anywhere between 320-340 in the electoral college too. This was the case on TV too as late as an hour before first poll close. Then the real results started coming in....

News outlets like CNN and MSNBC used to be criticized on this site for propaganda and false news, now they are the bastions of truth.

As someone glued to American politics what policies do you think that the Democrats have that will counter Trump. We know that Trump wants to improve trade deals so America has a fairer deal, he wants to revamp the medical system to reduce costs, he is looking to reduce government red tape, he wants to reduce illegal immigration and bring back manufacturing to the US.

What policies have the Democrats outlined that will get the voters wanting to elect them.

They're fine with anything that promotes a Democratic narrative.

You are fine with anything that promotes a Republican narrative.

So what did you type that was different and contributed to this thread?

Dumbest thing you have typed up and one of the biggest lie from Republican.

Dumbest, if you believe in that.

Lie, hey, history.

Republican policies are for rich old white men, I don't like the democrats like most minorities since they're also run by rich old white men fooling everybody however they're the lesser of two evils thus women and minorities will deliver a democrat win come November 6th. You heard it hear it first.

Oh so now they have policies that can distinguish the color of a person.

You wouldn't know cause you're not American.

You should stop assuming things. I actually find MSNBC and CNN to have a corporatist agenda and hardly neutral.

That said the whole American election system is geared towards cooperations and special interests, especially the Republican side.

Now if you like some Indians support Trump then say so but don’t hide with some snide comments.

And the democrats policies are.....................................................

At least they don’t brazenly lie like saying they will protect health care protections when infact they have voted to abolish the Affordable care act in the House over 70 times in the last 8 years.

Is it not incredible that America does not have an adequate health care system where people are dying everyday because they can’t afford to get coverage but they have trillions to waste on their military and wars that have got them nowhere.

That’s why you are seeing many progressive candidates starting to emerge from the democrats who are finally going away from PACs.

I think this is exactly the problem with Democrats losing so many elections going back to 2011-2012.
