Agree. What is important is that this isn’t a “one-time” marketing effort. It is a series of events. Examples:

1. Trump did the great press corps troll when he had several border agents interrupt a press briefing to make the case for a border barrier.

2. Trump tweets (multiple)

3. Oval Office aka Winning Office address

4. Headed to the border (Thurs)

Each of these build on each other to cement public’s perception that Trump is correct. In addition, any and all crimes committed by illegals in the news (Cpl. Singh) further move the needle in our favor.

The Donkeys have to battle a losing perception/persuasion battle but also battle an increasingly hostile government employee interest group. The longer the shutdown lasts, the more pressure is put on the Donkeys, not the GOP.

Patience is a virtue.

That’s true. They were obviously trying to deflect from border crisis to Government Shutdown-bad and Orange man’s fault-not ours.

Anyone with half a brain knows that the only leverage Trump has is the shutdown. And they know he can’t give up that leverage without getting at least a big part of what the border patrol says it needs.

Answer is simple-compromise and give the orange man a another Billion or so for the wall, and adjust the proposal by reducing the foreign aid dollars-let them do without their walls or pay for them with their own tax dollars.

Ran across a decent analysis about the speech and Dumbo Duo’s response from Bill Bloviator-Ha no kidding-maybe he’s a bit more humble now? I was most interested to hear what he had to say about the DEM response-Any way, worth a listen:

Those aren't "donkeys".
