Last-minute scare tactics and fear mongering from an increasingly desperate Trump, who has no positive message to offer.
As Barack Obama noted, what a crime against decency to take 15,000 troops — more than in Afghanistan or fighting ISIS — away from their families for a political stunt, to address a “threat” of desperate refugees who are 700 miles and at least two months away from the border — and most of them will never ever actually get here.
Trump could not get disaster relief to hurricane victims of Puerto Rico but he can instantly mobilize thousands of troops to fight a non-existent threat that is two months away if he thinks it will help him politically.
Trump is running scared, as he looks around the corner and sees California congresspersons Adam Schiff and Maxine Waters poised to take over as committee chairs — with full investigative and subpoena powers — when the new congressional session begins in January.
