1. Good idea

2. just the kind of shit you'd expect with a 5-time republican Draft Dodger in charge

What an expensive, evil farce. The republicans have made a mockery of the role of Commander-in-Chief, by putting a lying, cheating, draft-dodging a-hole in the job. Deplorable.

3. What a ridiculous waste of money and resources.

Even worse, once the election is over tomorrow, this "crisis" will fade into just another day at the border. Then, they'll have to move all those troops and and that equipment back to where it belongs.

All for a few votes. Trump's a moron.

8. Bill for services rendered

Dem should have the CBO run cost estimates for this campaign event - 'cause that's what it is - and bill the RNC and Trump's reelection campaign.

10. MISFEASANCE.

Misfeasance is the willful inappropriate action or intentional incorrect action or advice.

Former Pentagon spokesman: The involvement of active duty troops is both unnecessary and inappropriate.

This "unnecessary and inappropriate" deployment of troops would seem to be more grounds for impeachment.
