It’s a trick of some type with those two involved.

Trump is teaching the GOP how to street fight.

Reason I am happy Trump won #3,473,089.

I see a great big new wall from sea to shining sea:

Slick move: Putting it up now so Ryan will put it up for a vote to expose the Democrats again just prior to the election.

Gives Ryan’s choice for speaker McCarthy a leg up on the speakership position over jordan.

A win for current speaker Ryan.

#1 issue among voters is immigration. Let the left screech about abolishing ICE and drive the center to us.

McCarthy is trying to sell himself as the new Speaker. His PAC has been running ads for a Republican majority and arguing how he is working to advance the Trump agenda. Jim Jordan is a strong Speaker candidate who has support from conservatives like Louis Gohmert - I chatted up the Congressman from Texas at a Freedom Works rally two weeks ago.

Deport them all, then build the Wall.

And cut off the bennies in the meantime.

I don’t care where they’re from, be legal or GTFO.

thereby setting the midterm elections up as a referendum on immigration policy

~~~

Here’s a better idea; Submit your bill and get it passed BEFORE the election, instead of dangling the never-reached carrot in front of the voters in hopes they will stay naive forever

Ya reckon this might indicate McCarthy wants Ryan’s job?

Naw, that would be pure politics. Repubs would never so that :)

It’s B.S. of course...but a good attempt at cover for vulnerable Republican House members

“Paul Ryan hinted at a post-election border wall funding fight on Monday.”

Since when did hints ever get anything done by Congress especially post-election?

Yes, a trick. If it was simply a bill of x dollars to fund the wall, nothing more, nothing less, that’d be fine. But I suspect amnesty and open borders Ryan and his deputies are simply using this shiny object (wall funding) to sneak through their pro-chamber of commerce cheap labor legislation before they leave.

“House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy Introducing Bill to Fully Fund Border Wall”

Well, I guess he wants to be Speaker. Nonsense! Elect Jim Jordan!

This is a McCarthy head fake.
Just yesterday, Ryan said the votes are not there in the Senate.
He is still trying for Ryan’s job and the ONLY reason this came up.

This could have been done over a year ago.
Now, all of a sudden...
