Sometimes you have to pick the right time for the fight. The Wall is controversial and has zero Dem support and not all GOP support it. So if Govt shuts down, GOP and of course Trump get the blame and The Wall would be the issue that caused it.
Short run - Obamacare and Tax Cut are more important.
Long run - The Wall and legal immigration
This funding gets us to September. Six months.This could be about terminology. It is not a wall it is border security. A way for both sides to win. Get some border money in exchange for Obabacare subsidy money. Another example - It was not an email investigation, it was a matter.
Only two “polls” count 2918 and 2020 and a lot can happen and will and many unexpected.
No.
I think this is the one issue Trump must support strongly, without any backing off.
Not even one inch.
This is why he won.
Do not back off on this issue Mr. President.
This is exactly what happened in 2006, folks.
Blah, blah, blah.
That is the kind of (GOPe) thinking that has got us in to the mess we are in now.
But, but you say there are "bigger fish to fry."
I am so sick and tired of this kind of thinking. We will acquiesce here and come back to it later. Only, you never come back to the problem that deserved attention and now it is a bigger problem. And then, we acquiesce again. And round and round we go.
Ever notice that the Democrats NEVER acquiesce?
“The Wall is controversial”
If these “conservative” congressmen fund planned parenthood and defund the wall they will be exposed as the frauds that they are.
Yes, funding for planned parenthood is in the spending bill.
And the right time to say that would not have been during the campaign.
(Straight from the Book of Hillary Lincoln.)
Nothing is more important then immigration, NOTHING. Trump was elected to build the wall. If he backs off on the wall I am done with him and the GOP.
He has backed off of one promise after another, the wall is the the final straw. BUILD THE WALL.
The Rats know that if Trump backs off the wall he will lose his base, that is why they are pushing so hard on no wall.
