... Kennedy added that he wished Republicans in Congress had used a criminal justice reform bill that was passed late Tuesday as leverage to get border wall funding. The bill, which was approved in the Senate by a vote of 87-12, will now head to Trump's desk.
Kennedy, who did not support the criminal justice reform legislation, said he thinks the GOP "missed an opportunity here."
"My Democratic friends are entitled to have their own positions. They were salivating over this bill and I wish we had tried to get something in return like the border wall. Border walls work," he said.
"I don't think we’re going to get the funding for the border wall," Kennedy continued. "The president is going to have to make a decision. I don't think it would be wise to shut down government. I think we are going to have to live to fight another day.

Emergency or Quit.
Another defeatist clutching his pearls.
No Amnesty. Not for Anything.
Now why would Kennedy advertise his spinelessness like this unless he is trying to undermine the President and collaborate with the enemy?
We already have a shutdown. Trump doesn’t need 2020.
Does this guy have a brain cell functioning? Democratic friends, really? That’s his first mistake and indication that he’s clueless. He better stay out of Fort Marcy Park, ya think?
veto everything and make congress own everything, though this bill would probably override the veto.

No sh!t. What’s amazing is why there are not millions of deplorables in D.C. with tar and feathers....

This is from December. Not in the current fight against Pelosi.
If I were Trump, I would turn the furloughs into permanent layoffs so the government employees could draw unemployment.
1. He gets to say they will get a “check.”
2. The check won’t cost as much to the taxpayer.
3. Those jobs can be phased out.
4. The unemployment is generally for 12 months
5. It lights a fire under the Rats because the last thing they want is to reduce the number of union workers paying dues to Rat re-election campaigns.
Thanks. He still sounded like a defeatist pearl clutcher.
Who the hec is John Kennedy?
If the wall is not built, the GOP can kiss its spineless, ball-less *ss good bye.
The GOP is so marshmallow that they use Gillette razors and drink Starbucks coffee.
U S Senator from Louisiana

Yeah, now you realize this. These guys probably piss on their own shoes in the mens room.
I wish these idiots would shut up and take a lesson off the communists, and be a part together.
