Editor,

Trump’s supporters at his latest rally chanted “Send her back” instead of “ Lock her up.” Trump’s racist, anti-immigrant taunts at the so-called Quad Squad are disgraceful. Yet, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos online poll, Trump’s net approval among members of his Republican Party rose by 5% to 72%, compared with a similar poll that ran last week.  Keeping his base happy with voter suppression tactics, taunts and name-calling and a little help from the Russians, Trump has himself a winning re-election strategy. Sadly, he may be right. Will the Democrats again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?

Tell me Robert, what have the Democrats done since taking over the House? Other than bashing Trump, nothing to write home about. As a Trump supporter who does not care for many of his Tweets, I as a legal immigrant, married into the Latino community and a regular visitor to the Northern Triangle, I resent your and many of the other liberals' insinuations that Trump supporters are racists and anti-immigrant. We are just not in favor of illegal migrants being given preferred status in this country and many of us are not lily white. Generalizations do not help. As you found out yesterday, the whole Russian interference was a hoax. Even Pelosi conceded that there are no grounds for impeachment. Mueller turned out to be a stooge for the ultra left and apparently had little or nothing to do with writing the report that bears his name. Keep on bashing Robert, and you will drive more voters in Trump's camp.
