I think Trump just gave the Democrats more rope to figuratively hang themselves politically.
Exactly! All of the pearl-clutchers on FR need to admit to themselves that they either are not paying attention, or do not want Conservatism to succeed.
The Mittbots and other NeverTrumpers who come across with their “learned” positions, or “sky-is-falling” circling with ther hair on fire maneuvers will never be satisfied. The “Principled Conservatives” will still piss and moan and threaten to sit on their hands to “send the party a message”, holding on to their position as the left’s secret weapon against the Constitution.
The CWII fans will still talk about “lock and load” (Hell, I am buying more ammo, myself!), but I have faith in our President. Yes, OUR PRESIDENT! Not some tool of big business, globalism, the loony left, or any of our diverse ethnic subsets. He is President for all Americans, following the instructions and guidelines laid down in that marvelous legacy, the Constitution of the United States of America!
So, go on and rant and rave about caving and betrayal. You have shot your bolt, and I am not listening to you, anymore. You have cried wolf, one too many times.
No it won’t. It never had a chance. Not in any iteration that will give Trump credit. He made too many enemies with his campaign, it’s become too much of a symbol. 30, maybe 40 years from now, when somebody can present it fresh and associated with him, it could happen.
This.
Take it to the bank.
Kamala Harris is not running either. She jus’ pimpin’!
“The Wall” is symbolic. A campaign rallying cry. My opinion is that even with a barrier, illegal migration will not stop until the enticements for said migration are removed. It will be futile until Congress ends chain migration, welfare entitlement,adds funding strings for sanctuary cities and states, plus tightening asylum requirements. Face it, Congress is at fault. At least Trump is trying.
I am dismayed by so many wanting abandon our president because they didn’t get what they wanted when they wanted it. One thing I envy about democrats is their ability to present a unified front. Ours has so many cracks that no wonder our opponents think we are push overs.
I stand with the president now and always.
A VOLUNTEER CONSTRUCTION CREW!?!?!?!
If he declares an emergency or finds another way to build the wall, there should be nothing for DACA and the temporary people should make ready to leave. They can apply for legal immigration from their home country.
We are better off without the DACA people because they are apparently so stupid the support democrats even though they used them. We have enough stupid people of our own without importing them.
Wow..I said the exact same thing yesterday on another thread....The wall will be built. One way or another.
I didn’t say stop the whining but it should go without saying.
Why take a negative position on the wall?
Why say junk like Trump has caved or is toast or he isn’t going to build the walk?
Doesn’t really make sense.
At the least shut up and sit it out..wait and see.
If he fails to build the wall you can always vote for one of the dozens of dims that our running for president.
Great article - won’t stop the snowflake concern trolls among us from looking for a way to give up while President Trump fights for us...they remind me of all the welfare babies who stamp their feet and demand they be given what they want and without delay....while they claim to be patriotic conservatives....playing Risk on a board and being in the midst of a battle are two different things but they seem to think they know a lot that they don’t - like Reagan said of liberals, “They aren’t ignorant, they just know a lot that isn’t true”...fits some of the pathetic folks we have polluting FR these days...hope they can see fit to hit the occasional donate buttons so they aren’t totally useless.
The wall gets built under one condition. RBG dying. It will have to get built under the emergency condition and the only way it will pass the muster of the Court of Supreme Whim is if that crusty collectivist is no longer in the way.
I’m with Blackmon. I believe Trump is building a case for going it alone on an EO.
The problem is now, what is Trump going to have to give up to get the Wall?
Amnesty? DACA?
They are going to keep coming from every third world craphole on the planet.
One of us is going to leave though. Horizontally.
Eventually.
Besides the pay The Donald knew that the air travel charade of sicknouts would be a real impact especially with the super bowl coming up andcatlanta being involved. His TV instincts saw that as being the next big meme of the MSM. Is. Trump tanks super bowl , travelers stranded. Etc.
He is setting the battleground to take the smirk, of Pelosi / Schumer’s face and more importantly put John Roberts in a position that Congress couldn’t come up With a solution so he excercised his constitutional authority to protect our sovereignty . That’s what the majority of the speech is about .
He also knows San Fran Nan in no way will let a state of the union occur before the end of the 3 weeks even though the Dems said no SOTU until
Govt is open. So he laid out his logic yesterday
One by one the traps are set and he’s summed up in One line his real intent to not Cave as the MSM would portray and weak minded would believe
This is one of those topics where a timer ping button on FR would be great. Set it for a year, get pinged back to the thread and gloat if the wall has been built/major progress started or not. Repeat. I recall thinking the same in the great Palin running/not running debates of Long Ago. As it is these things seem to fade out as most topics of the internet age.
My take: President Trump has proven me wrong before. But I can’t see any major progress on a Southern border wall taking place. Love to be proved wrong.
