Amid Democratic opposition, Republican leaders are retreating from President Donald Trump’s very popular campaign promise to build a border fence to block illegal immigration, drug smugglers, and criminals.
A top GOP leader, Sen. Roy Blunt, told reporters on Tuesday that GOP leaders do not want to include Trump’s spending for the border wall in the spring budget, which is due by April 28. “All of the committees, the leaderships of the House and Senate, are working together to try to finalize the rest of the FY17 [budget spending] bill,” he added. “My guess is that comes together better without the [border] supplemental,” he told The Hill.
Top Democrats are hoping to wreck Trump’s presidency by blocking any funding for his key campaign promise. “The wall is a poison-pill rider,” Schumer said in an interview with Politico. “They’ll do it at their peril.”

Gonna hold my powder until we hear from Trump. Looks like they might get a healthcare bill coming back. Other things are happening... I would just like to see the appeal to the 4th circuit soon... I bet it comes right after Gorsuch, which looks like next week.
No way Trump would allow that to happen. He has all the leverage.
“Schumer’s strategy is to keep all of the Democrats voting no as a block”
His imaginary block will shatter if Trump announces he will not sign any kind of budget that does not include funding for the wall.
And they will not think he is bluffing.
At least 65% of Americans want the wall, and at least 90% of Americans think the US Congress is lower than whale shit.
Corker , Hatch, Heller and Flake all voted for the Gang of Amnesty, they need to be primaried.
That’s entirely it!!!!!!!!!!
Primary and Replace
Ryan, McConnell, et al: Best you get your heads out of your asses! PDQ!
We the People are fed up with you milquetoast RINOs!
Those who can be, WILL BE PRIMARIED IN 2018!
Unless you get your stuff together and follow President Trump’s lead!
What part about “United State Representative” and “United States Senator” do you not understand?
YOU WORK FOR US!
What part of their Oath of Office do you not understand?
What part about how pissed off We the People are do you not understand?
It is time, kiddies, to act like statesmen and women and DO THE JOB YOU PROMISED TO DO!
LEAD, FOLLOW OR GET OUT OF THE FREEPING WAY!

Apparently the only real way to get the Federal Governments undivided attention is to lob artillery rounds into one of their forts.
They’re feckless jackwagons that either love or fear something in DC more than they love or fear their constituents. And that must change.
Trump is going to get it done. If those congress critters think they can outfox him I’m betting on the Roadrunny not wiley coyote.
If he has to he will privatize it and get it done with leases or arrangements.
If he wouldn’t sign a budget or CR then only the critical spending would get done, which would actually accomplish what a lot of us would like.
Only trouble is we need to still fund the military.
Would the CIA and NSA still be funded? Maybe this would be a way to finally just get rid of the Deep State...
oops “Roadrunner”
IDIOTS!!!
But Mexico is supposed to pay for it...so why is it an issue?
There are some simple solutions for this:
1. I read that the wall will cost each of us $150. I would be willing to write a check for that.
2. A gofundme campaign.
3. A tax credit for donating to the “build the wall” fund.
I am SICK TO DEATH of their rallying cries and we get NOTHING but the MIDDLE FINGER!! This WALL is the MAIN REASON Trump won this election Trump better get a grip on these BASTARDS or the American people WILL WASH THEIR HANDS of him!! This IS IT for the Repub party I can guarantee you republicans ARE DONE way past DONE and they WILL STOP voting!!! It doesn’t matter to these BASTARDS whether they have control or not as long as they keep their seats!!!
Dethrone royalty by any and all means.
Delay wall funding, no Obamacare repeal, etc.? This may all be shaping up for an epic MidTerm Showdown.
If the Trump Team has their act together, they will:
1) Get State Governors to clean up election voter fraud
2) Recruit/certify primary candidates who WILL support our President and the actions for which we voted.
With all the shenanigans the Uniparty is pulling, it may come down to nothing getting done until after we can purge more of the traitors from the Congress.
If bpth of these actions do not occur, and the Dems take back control, the People will by that time be beyond exasperated and there will be “Showdown at the OK Corral”, i.e. open conflict.
It’s NOT Trump’s fault. He is there as our representative to try and restore the republic. He has to deal with traitors on both sides of the aisle, and they will not deal. Short of charging them with treason, arresting, convicting, and replacing them, there is little he can do.
It’s just he reality with which he and we have to deal. The whole gov’t is filled with traitors. Look to the Midterm Elections, and if we are not successful, then resolution will occur one way or the other, through open conflict. I don’t see how it can be any other way.
We traditional Republicans are extraordinarily well-informed and remarkably politically motivated.
Do not (DO NOT) mess with the wall, including it's #1 priority (if re-election is an objective).
