Midterms

As the midterm elections draw closer it appears that the two major issues will be immigration and the economy. Immigration is where a democratic victory might help solve the problem. With a democratic house they will accept Trumps offer of amnesty for dreamers and their parents for $25 billion for the wall. They want this deal now but cannot afford to give the republicans credit for immigration reform and have Trump get his wall but with control of the house shifting to the dems, they will get credit for the reform. When Bill Clinton gave into republican demands for welfare reform it helped him to win a second term. Also if the dems win control of the house they will not want to bog down everything with impeachment proceedings. In addition there is a good chance at passing an infrastructure bill something that both sides want and this way they can share credit. In politics who gets credit is all important. Remember party trumps country.
