Trump, as he himself admitted, was "on the ballot". Every single day he railed about "Caravan Invaders" and the need for his wall. Then Republicans suffered historic losses. Not only in the House, but in State and local elections also.
In 2010 Republicans proudly boasted that the Midterms that year, which gave the G.O.P control of the House, not only repudiated the Democratic President, but also invalidated any mandate Obama and the Democrats won two years earlier.
Well, hello. Wear that shoe on the other foot often?
America doesn't want your stinking wall Trump. And a majority of American voters didn't want it in 2016 either, even when you kept promising that Mexico was going to pay for it.
