Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : Read further and you will notice that this man is not upset by the fact that his wife was detained by ICE so much as the fact that she was not made the exception to the rule, a rule that he seems otherwise to want applied to other people whom he believes deserves it.
45% : The man told USA Today that he didn't believe Trump meant his wife.
43% : As podcaster and CNN commentator Van Lathan, Jr, has said, Trump is "the whitest white man we've ever seen."
41% : And there's almost certainly nothing any Democrat can say to appeal to him rationally, as rational appeals can't crack the surface of a man who believes, as Trump does, that everyone owes him something.
40% : They believe the Democrats should move to the right, just a little, and even talk like Republicans, just a little, in order to appeal to voters, like this man, who have been burned by Trump.
38% : And now that his wife has been detained by ICE, he still can't believe it.
38% : But while it's one thing to say that some of these voters chose Trump reluctantly, or that some of them don't like him that much, it's another to say that they'd vote for a Democrat if they were given a chance.
38% : You would think a white man who watched his Peruvian wife being perp-walked by ICE would regret his vote.
27% : He thought Trump "would target people who snuck over the border and weren't vetted."
26% : In my view, they are not really mad at the regime for messing around with Social Security or Medicare or Medicaid or whatever.
22% : He's upset that the rule is being applied equally, more or less, which is to say, he's upset, because Trump was supposed to punish enemies, not friends.
21% : "Trump can't say enough to be racist, can't break enough laws to be a criminal, can't fail enough to be a failure and can't be stupid enough to be stupid.
