His marching orders are to keep the narrative alive that the border is unsafe until the election.

Deal on the table to fix everything they're complaining about? Reject it.

Voters don't pay attention, especially not his voters, so it's safe for him and will help out any republican in a tight race. It's disgusting, but tactically sound.

Exactly it. I've heard a couple of coworkers regurgitating this bs. It saddens me how stupid people can be.
