Things the GOP should be really, really worried about, but aren't:

1. The eventual tragedies that will come to light when the lost migrant children's stories are told, day, after day, week, after week, for YEARS to come. They don't have a central clearing house for tracking these children or guaranteeing they'll be reunited. The bad news will be continuous and endless.

2. The impression these endless news stories about abducted children will make in the minds of current U.S. children: They will all be voters some day.

3. The truth that will come out years from now when some of these migrants are held for years just for approaching the border: And the money that will have been spent housing them just to keep them from the press, for life, in order to hide the truth.

3. The gop church-goers who will live to regret their support and leave the party out of shame.

How long before we learn trump has ordered his minions to do everything they can to make it harder on these parents , and much harder for them to find and get their children back, intentionally. Who's the animal?

will impact past November 2018, past 2020.

Such viciousness will be recognized and shamed as an outsized part of our history.

They have no shame. A few have MAYBE learned to pretend they do, but they don't.
