“DJT will have no choice (without a 60 vote margin in the Senate) to either take the deal and piss off his base, or veto it and loose his base.”
False set of outcomes.
If President Trump vetoes this insane plane he will undoubtedly go out of his way to explain why to the base & the base will continue to support him for not caving to the RATs on the wall or chain migration.
There will not be enough votes to override President Trump’s veto. Also, be certain President Trump has a serious of actions & things to save if there is a gov’t shutdown that will work in the nation’s favor & in his.
Well glad you are so optimistic, but a lot of folks are becoming uneasy with his failure so far to make good on his major promise and others have said, if he does not make good, they will sit out the 2020 election. So I was just going on the logical outcomes politically, given the current climate in the DJT supporting electorate - optimism is great, but needs to be tempered IMHO with pragmatism. So they are not false outcomes, just realistic ones, and perhaps not to your liking.
