In the wake of an appeals court ruling that handed President Obama a major defeat for his plan to grant executive amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, on her MSNBC show on Tuesday, host Andrea Mitchell only saw victory for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign: “...this is a win-win proposition for Hillary Clinton. She has actually gone farther in her proposals than Barack Obama...”
Spinning hard for the Democratic frontrunner, Mitchell explained her liberal logic: “But in a general election context, the Democrats can say, ‘We pushed the envelope,’ and even if they lose in the Supreme Court by June, if it's taken up, they can say, ‘We were on the side of this.’ It's a big issue with Hispanic Americans and others.”
