Looks like he got several things wrong - if the wall is as demolished as Hillary is reborn, it may get 20’ higher...

If the Democrats had anything to do with it it has. You can bet that it is full of them. I hope that President Trump does not accept it.

Listening carefully to Rush today it seems that DJT will take the deal then declare an emergency. Not a win, but not a loss either.


POTUS needs to preserve the fiction that the GOP wants a wall. 2020 will be a blow out for the Dems if the GOPe open borders agenda becomes known. He can’t have a public fight with his own party on this and is punting.

This porcine punk would have a hard time holding a job mopping floors at Burger King let alone learning how to code once he receives his pink slip.

When Gannet laid off their useless teat suckers, there was whining heard all across the District of Corruption, and they were told: “learn to code”.

Says the Brennan, Clapper, Rhodes, Jarrett, newsroom script from 50 year old modeled state propaganda teleprompter feed in 2019. We knew better in 2016 and we know better in 2019.

It's difficult for the president to eke out a win when congressional republicans ally themselves with the open borders globalist democrats against their own president.

We often generalize and say that democrats are ruining the country.

But republicans have been complicit in almost all the bad that has come out of Washington in at least the last 60 years - probably longer.

Democrats couldn't screw us to the extent they do if republicans fought FOR the nation as hard as democrats fight AGAINST the nation.

The Democrats wanted a cap on ICE’s detainment of illegals so that they will be forced to go back to catch and release as part of the deal.

He’ll get money for 1/10th of the wall in his first term and another 1/10th in his second term. After 8 years we’ll have 1/5th of the wall built. There will still be plenty of spots for the cartel buses to pull up and dump their “asylum” seekers on us.

I fully support POTUS but we need to face the fact the Uniparty and their big donors don’t want a wall. So there never will be one.

skip the first, do the second.

Demand spending cuts since they would not fund the wall.

Exactly! They won’t be able to say its his “vanity project” after they become a co-funder of it. He can just say thanks, but that’s not enough, and go on to do the other things in addition.

you vastly underestimate 2 things..

1) That trump won’t use his emergency powers to built it.
2) that we will turn out in the numbers needed to re-elect him if he doesn’t.

Trump has to get this done, or all he will have is his base in 2020 (that’s me so don’t go off on me about it) and it won’t be enough to overcome the democrats cheating

“But it will be harder for Trump to paint Democrats as radicals — either in Congress or on the presidential campaign trail — after Republicans struck the border-security deal with them”

That paint is already dry.

That would be OUR WALL. Idiot.

Little Jonny Allen is a Democrat. So it really isn't his Wall, even though it's OUR Wall, as you correctly pointed out.

His head would look good on a spike on our Wall...

Congress hasn’t demolished “his” wall.DJT is underlining and putting Exclamation points on the Democrats’ refusal to defend the country from invasion for the benefit of the 2020 voters. Meanwhild, the wall is under construction. He does need a large token funding from the Democrats. $2bil, say’ or even $5bil will not do much but that is not the point. He is funding the wall through several legal devices and is building it even as he pounds the Democrats for preventing it. He is forcing the Social Democrats into a corner that is up a tree.

Never be one? There already is one... actually Many. If you think the Left is going to get away with stopping the continuing progress on building the WALLS, you are mistaken. We Will WIN!

I think it’s a win-win:

No Shutdown, so the whiney dems can’t blame President Trump.

And President Trump gets his wall, by whatever means...his means...possible.
