Erick Erickson: “On Twitter, what’s happening plays well with the base. But, just based on my callers and listeners, there is 100% support for the deportation policy and a lot of concern that the narrative of ICE being too heavy handed and accidentally rounding up citizens and legal aliens is starting to set in.
Bottom line is that normies want the criminals, gang bangers, and violent people gone. They don’t really care about the grandmother. And they really don’t like citizens and legal aliens getting caught up in this or thinking people need to carry their citizenship papers to roam the country.
Low information voters getting their news from ABC, CBS, NBC have, in fact, turned negative.”

For the millionth time: There can be a substantial between the stated goal of a policy and the way the policy gets carried out if it’s bungled by fools and knaves.
