Stirewalt: Trump’s ‘Found a Way to Turn Scare Tactics on Immigration into Republican Favor in Key Districts’

‘It will hurt him in some places’

EXCERPT:

STIREWALT: "What you are seeing now and the president is trolling and it may work on the birthright citizenship stuff. Sending troops to the border. He -- immigration is the single best issue for Republicans. For years it was a great issue for Democrats. They exploited it and used it against Republicans and to fire up their base and fear mongering. Now Republicans are doing the same in reverse. The president has found a way to turn scare tactics on immigration into Republican favor in key districts.”
