I don’t think the GOPe cares about holding the majority - they care about doing what their money masters want done. And frankly it’s easier for them to let the rats take the lead and just blame them for what’s happening.
I don’t see how the GOP survives if they don’t start backing Trump.
The opposition is not coming from the GOPe. Schummer is the one threatening to filibuster the whole spending bill if funding for the wall is included. He will fold IMO if the filibuster also cuts funding for Obamacare subsidies.
Paul Ryan and the other moderates couldn’t care less if a wall is built in San Diego, etc. They will fund it. It’s better than dealing with the bad PR if they oppose it.
We helped Mexico with building their wall on the Guatemala border.
Can’t have those central Americans buying a ticket on top of La Bestia without also paying the Mexicans for safe passage to the US border.
