I will just say Mr. Trump:

A government shut-down, would divert the media’s attention from the 100 days agenda.

(which I don’t recall actually the media, ever talking about before now)

Duke it out with the left on this issue.

People want the wall.

A lot of people. The people who elected you.

But if the wall isn't funded, will the president veto the larger spending bill, risking a government shutdown on Saturday -- coincidentally Trump's 100th day in office?


Yes!!!!!!!

Most all the media is, as usual, discussing a possible shutdown as if it would be the Republicans who shut the government down. The president and members of the party really need to turn that around and present it, loudly, as the Dims shutting down the government over one or two billion to begin the border wall, which many of them voted for in the form of the Secure Fence Act of 2006 (including Schumer, Hillary, Obama and many others).

Of course, some key Republicans in Congress would have to grow a spine on this situation for the first time in their careers.

Not bad! The original version, from about 1972 or so, was just a bit better though in my opinion.

If congress won’t allocate the funds then shut the government down. Or do a private funding with gifts from citizens.

Shut it down.

And say (over and over and over):

“The democrats shut down the government because they want open borders.”

Trump wins that battle.

prepared to make concessions to Democrats on health care reform

Sigh. They never learn. Appeasement never works.
