VANITY: What do you think is President Trump's strategy?

[Jeff Chandler]

So is it two offers and a declaration of emergency or three offers THEN a declaration of emergency?

Or something else?

[Carriage Hill]

This or that. These or them. Them or those.
Choose, demonkkkRATs!

I think he’s going to bypass Nancy and Chuck and go straight to the rank and file Democrats.

TRUMP.45!

Have McTurtle pass a "sense of the Senate" asking him to declare a State of Emergency, then declare one.

JMHo

[BAN-ONE]

It ain’t Sun Tzu this particular time.
It’s a Don Corleone move...

He’s makin’ ‘em an offer they can’t refuse. But the dems and rinos aren’t smart enough to know this is the best offer they will get.

Carrot and stick. Good cop, bad cop.

[Bigtigermike]

Divide the Dems base. There are many that care for DACA and would accept a wall in exchange. Others don’t want a wall not one bit because it’s Trump doing it. Expect the demands to Dems in Congress to take deal from some

[Ronniesque]

Bingo...he briefly made that very reference in the speech.

[mythenjoseph]

I found it to be a very reasonable and realistic approach . There was NO amnesty just a slight reprieve and nothing more so as to prove that he is not a dictator . Notice how he added 2,700 more Border Patrol men and women along with numerous judge’s for the immigration courts along with additional monies for new drug equipment and one other item....he is a smart man addressing what needs to be done ..I think he is the best President I have had the privilege to have voted for in my 57 years . What a good man and may God be with him ...

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

His plan is to have a bill on Nancy’s desk Monday.

Then tweet that it’s only Nancy holding up the show.

[Libloather]

Security for the country. Just how hard is that? Apparently, Pelosi has a problem with it.

[bigbob]

He has them in a box. If they accept the deal, they appear weak, he gets the wall. If they refuse his help they are refusing DACA fix, TPS extension - and the border security in a time when Hispanics are increasingly favoring Trump. In other words:

[rapture-me]

Strategy is only effective if you have the balls to carry it out. He is our guy!

[BAN-ONE]

Also very possible.

[mountainlion]

I do not think we are going to find out what Mr. Trump’s plan is. He is going to drain the swamp and it is going to be kept secret or else the swamp can fight back..

[JonPreston]

Trump’s strategy is called politics and he played it well. Today he did everything he needed to do to keep the Rs unified while at the same time painting the Ds as the resistance. I expect some to break ranks w the Senate votes next week. And yes, his next play is an EO declaring a state of emergency.

[Two Kids' Dad]

He’s treating the dems like Israel treats the palis. He knows they’ll reject whatever is offered and they’ll end up looking like the bad guys.

[theoilpainter]

The dems will never give Trump the wall - for no other reason than handing him a political defeat. They stand for nothing.

Unless the Senate can pass something (we need 60 votes, so that won’t happen), Trump must eventually cave, and try the wall another way.

This won’t doom Trump, as he will have another Supreme Court appointment that the dems cannot stop, and his base will like him again.

[eartick]

I think it is 1.6 billion of our tax dollars going to help illegal invaders at our border that were stopped this time.

Next time the illegal invader group will be bigger and wanting the same payoff.

I know we do not negotiate with hostages but what happens when we are the hostage?

BEND OVER AND TAKE IT.
