And that's the crux of the issue. Consequently President Trump has been "negotiating" with himself, which is never a good thing and begging the DEMON RATS to "play nice" and "negotiate" (something they have absolutely zero intention of doing) literally selling the country down the river by offering BLANKET AMNESTY (he can sugar coat it, "spin it", and call it anything he wants but ultimately that's what it boils down to) TO LAW BREAKING, ILLEGAL ALIEN "dreamers" in exchange for crumbs: a measly 5 billion dollar, non hardened, NON CONCRETE steel barier to placate Pelosi and Schumer.

President Trump looks, sounds and acts weak.

There isn't a "humanitarian crisis" on the Southern border, it is a NATIONAL EMERGENCY; a full scale, NEVER ENDING INVASION OF CRIMINAL, LAW BREAKING ILLEGAL ALIENS who have every intention of breaking our laws, stealing our jobs, stealing the welfare benefits that Americans have worked and PAID FOR, stealing the health care, and educational benefits that belong to American CITIZENS and contributing NOTHING OF LASTING BENIFIT TO AMERICA BUT CRIME, CORRUPTION, DRUGS, DISEASE AND DEATH.

The very future of the country is at stake and instead of acting and declaring a national emergency, militerizing, closing the Souther border and BUILDING A REAL/PERMANENT WALL, MADE TO LAST ALONG THE ENTIRE SOUTHERN BORDER, President Trump's solution is to try and appease DEMON RATS by caving to them and their insatiable "demands".

“President Trump looks, sounds and acts weak.”

No, it’s not him, it’s you. Trump purposely put them on the defensive to force them to shut down the government. He is carefully timing his offers so that they will publicly refuse them. He’s been planning this for months, even years, preparing Executive Orders and agencies on what to fund so that his agenda is strengthened. He’s crafting the public narrative to show concessions while Nancy is running out of town. This will come to a head and I guarantee they will not only compromise, they will be compromised.

My take:

A DACA solution last year would have been a win for Democrats because they would have successfully demonstrated standing up for Hispanic people. The thing is, it appears that President Trump has stolen that issue from Democrats when Pelosi and Schumer walked away from the "Dreamer" offer and shut down the government the first time.

If recent polls are correct that show an increase of Hispanic support for Trump, then the credit for solving the DACA problem will go to Trump, not Democrats, because everyone sees Pelosi refusing to even talk about offers that include DACA and TPS solutions. Hispanics rightly see that Trump is trying to solve their problems, and they also see Pelosi trying to stop Trump.

I think the parade has moved on, and Pelosi missed her opportunity to come out in front. Now she's digging in just for spite.
