So lets work out the scenarios, and in my opinion, Trump can claim a (political) win from any of them

1) It passes the house, but fails to get the votes in the Senate.
This seems most likely to me.
...and all it does is show how the issue is divided along party lines and Trump gets to proceed.

2) Passes both house/senate, but doesn’t have the super majorities, so it gets vetod and dies.
Trump gets to proceed as planned.

3) It gets a Super Majority.
Trump at least gets to say he tried everything, but the swamp won. Republicans and democrats in red states and districts lose their next elections, and Trump gets a firey issue to harp on in 2020

2 and 3 are delusional leftists wet dreams.

Yes Republicans are stupid, but not that stupid.

Fiery issue? So what. No wall = Democrat President. He’s left with three choices: 1) shut down ALL immigration, NO exceptions (courts will overrule); 2) let everybody and anybody in (CA and NM only); or 3) resign in disgust and a big FU to what’s left of the geographical entity (least likely).

There is also scenario 1.5) Passes the House but fails cloture in the Senate (lacks 60 votes to proceed). Trump gets to proceed as planned.

This would probably be the best outcome.
