In fact, give Obama his due.
He knew the power and how to wield it.
Bush I and II were clueless. They did not.
Clinton a little bit...not even Reagan exercised all the power available to him.
Obama set the modern standard...the commie, anti-American bastard.
the Uniparty smells blood over the health care defeat.
No wall/open borders is something they all agree on.
Trump needs to get out ahead of them or they will roll him on the wall/borders via a gov’t shutdown or the debt ceiling.
In my view the wall/borders is the hill Trump Presidency should be prepared to die on. Border enforcement has been a proper function of gov’t since year minus 1. If they can’t even do that, Trump should shut all of it down until they do.
A gov’t shutdown has leverage if the public supports you. But the debt ceiling is the hammer because financial markets will get really spooked if debt refunding depends on payment prioritization.
The calendar is, gov’t funding lasts thru Apr 29, and the debt ceiling is in July. The exact date will vary because, if the gov’t is shut down, there is less spending and the debt ceiling is delayed.
