Three weeks will tell the tale. If he gets no movement from Congress he must do the EO and commence the court fight to build the wall.
If he backs down again on February 15th and still doesn’t do the EO he can call it a day for 2020. They will lose the White House and the senate and we have no representation in government. The GOP has shown they are totally full of sh*t cowards when it comes to doing anything remotely conservative or Constitutional. The RATS will call the shots until the shooting eventually starts.
The Republican Party must completely collapse so an actual nationalist opposition party can form.
“If he backs down again on February 15th and still doesn’t do the EO he can call it a day for 2020.”
I agree with that. IF he doesn’t declare an emergency. But I see no reason he wouldn’t. It’s not like they are going to arrest him or something if it doesn’t stand up in court. There’s no real downside to trying since the libs who don’t want secure borders are going to hate him no matter what. And the declaration will allow him to truthfully say in 2020 that he did what he could.
At the end of the day, Trump only controls one of three branches of the government. We shouldn’t expect him to exceed the powers of that branch- as long as he declares the emergency I will support him and live with whatever the courts decide. That’s how our system works, and it’s bigger than today’s news cycle.
