I wonder myself. Why do people have such a love affair with Muslims and illegals from Mexico and Latin America?

I think Trump’s strength is that he’s not partisan or wed to ideology. He’s a populist, and he’s pragmatic. A businessman brings a sense of pragmatism to office. He’ll work effectively with Democrats, in my opinion, and he’ll look to foster compromise, except on non-negotiables, such as immigration, the economy, and defense. Social issues are not really on the radar so much. Obergefell isn’t going away anytime soon, and neither is Roe. Conservatives need to come to terms with the fact that sadly, there’s nothing we can do to overturn Roe or undo toeiva marriage.

BTW: totally unrelated, but Chris Christie sounded very rabbinical in his answer on abortion a few weeks ago. He said that abortion can be seen as an act of self-defense in some cases, which sounds, lehavdil, like the Rambam’s citing din rodef in the context of abortion.
