It’s pretty clear that Democrats/the media really don’t want to talk about the thousands-strong migrant caravan that has rejected Mexico’s offer of asylum in favor of heading for the U.S. border.
CNN’s Brian Stelter said that every responsible report on the caravan should be accompanied by a map to show how far away it is, and people are even calculating how long it will take the caravan to travel 1,000 miles — until Christmas, maybe? — thus making it a non-consideration when voting this November.
Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Democrat, seems to think the citizens of her state are plenty concerned about the caravan, and she told Fox News she’s 100 percent behind the president, encouraging him to use every tool at his disposal to stop them at the border.

You don’t suppose she’s just saying that because the election’s right around the corner?
LMAOOOOO

She has no firm beliefs other than doing whatever it takes to stay a Senator.

Boy, you'd think she's a Democrat in a tough race in a red state with only 8 days left in the campaign.
Ohhhhhhh.
Carry on then. https://t.co/1nUGbu7WAY

She'll say this now, but vote with Schumer every time if re-elected.

We wouldn’t be surprised if she offered her private plane to the caravan once she’s reelected.
Oh look, here's another instance of McCaskill saying what her voters want except she would turn right around and do the exact opposite. She'll say anything to get re elected. Don't fall for this again Missouri. #MOSen

Presumably McCaskill's internal polling is trending in the wrong direction:https://t.co/rqBjKKwgjz

Now, what does she say in private? Because I bet it isn't that.

She doesn't mean a word of that. She is scared. Too late. Voting for Kavanaugh might have saved her….not this…

I don't know who I pity more…people who aren't laughing at McCaskill or people who believe her.

Number of votes this will get her:

Blame Trump …
Whatever happens here, Trump has so clearly moved the Overton window. Endangered Democrats now feel that they have to act tough when coming face to face with a group of poor and destitute Honduran migrants. https://t.co/rZs6KRCGQw
