Washington - A heated argument in the West Wing between chief of staff John Kelly and national security adviser John Bolton over a recent surge in border crossings turned into a shouting match Thursday, two sources familiar with the argument told CNN. The exchange lay bare a bitter disagreement that has existed between two of President Donald Trump's top aides for weeks now.
Trump, who was incensed about the rising levels of migrants and threatened to shut down the southern border on Twitter earlier that morning, took Bolton's side during the argument.

Good question. And now after seeing other political news I think yes, because I see what they are fighting about is the main GOP-political-advisor ordained talking points for the election
Newt Gingrich to Sean Hannity: “I think two words are going to define the night of the 2018 election in the next three weeks. One is Kavanaugh and the other is caravan.”
Trump just did the Kavanaugh thing the other night, reaching out specifically about college-educated women. He's never done that before! That was sure as shooting following talking points.
Whether their argument comes from agreeing that Trump knows the winning formula of reaching enough people or its sort of the other way around- from political advisors to Fox and Friends and Hannity to Trump, that means something. Whether their party and sympathizers is united or not. it's the way the GOP is going and that there's disagreement between majors in the White House, that means more disaffection, splits in their party.

P.S.: comes to mind this gone viral goofy ad for Rep. Hill in Arkansas is clearly clumsily trying top down talking points about Kavanaugh; it's the victimhood thing, trying to co-opt BLM and #Metoo victimhood sentiments etc. Gingrich is telling the truth about what memes they are going to push.
