Political Cornflakes: Is President’s Trump throw-everything-at-the-wall-and-see-what-sticks game plan dooming vulnerable Republicans?

Trump grabs the national spotlight in the wake of domestic terrorist attacks. Some Utahns are being told the ballot is in the mail when it’s not. Rep. Mia Love denounces plan to wipe out birthright citizenship, an issue that’s personal for her.

President Trump in the final days leading up to the midterm elections seems to be throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. He has announced a new tax cut that was news to everyone, including Congress. He has dispatched troops to the U.S. southern border to stop what he calls an “invasion.” And now he has suddenly claimed the intent and the power to wipe out the 14th Amendment, granting birthright citizenship.
