Is Obama About to Throw Godfather Under the Bus?

Republicans want to make the Chicago mayor's woes a political liability for his former boss and a “massive liability” for Democrats in next election if Obama leaves him to twist in the wind and abandons him to the gangsters of #BlackLivesMatter:

"Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s struggles are reverberating in Washington, where he’s causing headaches for his most powerful of close friends and former bosses, the Obamas and the Clintons.

Republicans are eager to make Emanuel — who worked in both the most recent Democratic administrations — a political liability for President Barack Obama and the campaign of Hillary Clinton, both of whom have resisted calling for his resignation over the handling of a video showing a police officer shooting a retreating black teenager. And even among the president’s allies, the famously profane Emanuel is a polarizing figure after playing a key role in the tough-on-crime legislation of the mid-1990s that Obama has made his mission to undo. Emanuel, who has a reputation for his loyalty to friends as fierce as his vindictiveness for enemies, was already doing some damage control on Thursday to better align himself with Clinton. His administration refused for more than a year to release what turned out to be a damning dashboard camera video of an officer shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times, citing the ongoing criminal investigation.

Emanuel has cited his recent reelection as reason to stay in office, and so far White House spokesman Josh Earnest has echoed that rationale — resulting in a less-than-full-throated endorsement of Emanuel’s tenure.

Few of the people who worked with Emanuel are left in the West Wing. The president is the most important exception, of course, but White House aides say the two Chicagoans haven’t spoken in recent days...."

The Democrats' National Security Vulnerability

"The disconnect between President Obama and the American public on the urgency of the ISIS threat is a problem for his party in 2016, especially for Hillary Clinton.

"Democrats are at risk of politically marginalizing themselves on national security in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election, catering to a base that seems disconnected from the growing anxiety that the public feels over the threat from Islamic terrorism. During a month when a horrific terrorist attack killed 130 in Paris and a homegrown, ISIS-inspired attack killed 14 in San Bernardino, California, the Democratic Party's major focus has been on climate change and gun control. ...

"The big question now is how long Clinton will be content to ride Obama's coat-tails. Most Democrats are fully committed to the president's base-first strategy and don't see any benefit in Clinton distancing herself from a president whom she loyally served for four years. But on an issue that could define the election, she risks being defined by the base at a time when even some of the president's former supporters are beginning to question his approach." — Josh Kraushaar, National Journal

Even MSNBC Poll Shows Support for Immigration Ban

Non-whites Overwhelmingly Approve   

 

 CCC -The media keeps telling us that Trump's  immigration stance is “racist”.  Yet poll after poll show that some non-whites support his views on immigration even more than white people.  

When asked if Trump went to far when he called for a temporary ban on Muslim immigration, 87% of Latinos, 88% of “other,” and 96% of blacks answered “no.”  Among white people, 69% answered “no.” Overall, 76% of Americans answered “no.” Trump’s overall support has increased since making the comments.

Despite a relentless national media onslaught against Trump, his statements on Muslim immigration have made him more popular than ever. Bloomberg is reporting that two thirds of Republicans support a ban on Muslim immigration, and nearly 40% of Republicans say Trump’s comments will make them more likely to vote for him in the primary.  

Black Americans are opposed to immigration at even higher percentages than white Americans. Despite being called “racist” in the media, Trump may very well have the largest amount of black support of any Republican presidential candidate in over twenty years.  It sounds to me like Trump is just advocating mainstream views.

The lefties are beside themselves......

The far-left Southern Poverty Law Center released a statement saying Trump’s comment on Muslim immigration are “mainstreaming of hate and extremism.” Gee, what a surprise.
