GOP fears Trump return to family separations

Trump will be picking a new fight with Senate Republicans if he decides to renew his past policy of separating families detained at the border as a way of stopping the wave of immigrants.

Trump is expected to select a hard-liner to replace Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, who was ousted on Sunday — reportedly after she resisted returning to the policies that led to children being taken from their parents at the border.

The family separations created deep unrest among congressional Republicans ahead of the midterm elections, and Senate GOP sources warn that if Trump taps a hard-liner to replace Nielsen, it could lead to a brutal confirmation battle.

Sen. John Cornyn (Texas), a member of the Republican leadership team, said “one thing we all agree on now is families ought to be kept together as much as possible.”

Let's see you actually do something about it Cornyn. Talk is cheap.

I am sure they "feared" similarly with every disgusting act he has done to date. So far they've taken no action except to slash taxes for their corporate owners and rammed through right wing extremist judges. They don't fear him, the LOVE him. He is who they are, except without filters and dog whistles.

The GOP don't care. They rather blame others and threaten former presidents, e-mails, Benghazi, accuse others.

Vote them out.
