Least of all them - Durbin and the Democrats merely want to use them...they don’t care about them.
Moore was a freaking nut job and and a piss poor candidate to boot. His weasel words after the allegations first came out wreaked guilt. His campaign commercials looked like they were produced by a group of middle schoolers. He did himself in and Cruz was wise to disassociate himself from that train wreck as were any other out of state politicians. I voted for Moore anyway because I damned sure didn’t wasn a liberal snake in that seat.
You on the other hand. If you and your ilk chose to sit on your hands and allow that Senate seat to fall into the hands of a liberal weasel, you and your merry band of hate filled malcontents will be guilty of undermining Trump’s agenda and the USA.
I know there are a bunch of crazies in the group. Even a large number. But somehow I’m feeling that Trump is positioning himself very carefully and very cleverly to frustrate the Dems in the same way he just did on the government shutdown. And yes, of course the crazies will never get over being crazy. But some who aren’t so far gone just might.
Don't get me wrong, though, I'm not sick of it yet...
Send the foreign invaders home or punish them as out of uniform military combatants under the Geneva Convention rules! Smile dummy Durbin.
How did DC get occupied by the likes of Durbin? Where are real USAians that can properly staff DC.
“Dick Durbin: Trump holding Dreamers ‘hostage’ with immigration plan (Offer Rejected)”
EXACTLY what I predicted!
Earlier today I wrote:
“Trump the deal-maker in action: Trump proposes something very reasonable in terms of give-and-take, something that will appear VERY reasonable to the vast majority of regular folks, knowing damn good and well that the Dems will reject it, and thereby give Trump the high moral ground and allow him to tar the Dems as unreasonable, uncaring, and obstructionistic.
This is brilliant! Simply brilliant!
It really doesn’t get any better that this ...”
You added 1 million to the original discussion.
End of discussion
“Trump knew the Dems would reject it.”
Indeed!
Exactly what I predicted was going to happen earlier today where idiot Freepers were kicking and whining that Trump was selling us out:
“Trump the deal-maker in action: Trump proposes something very reasonable in terms of give-and-take, something that will appear VERY reasonable to the vast majority of regular folks, knowing damn good and well that the Dems will reject it, and thereby give Trump the high moral ground and allow him to tar the Dems as unreasonable, uncaring, and obstructionistic.
This is brilliant! Simply brilliant!
It really doesn’t get any better that this ...
“I am shocked that they rejected it.
not me. trump knew they’d be intransigent.
it also means the Dems are the bad guys and obstructionists, not Trump ...
“Levin was complaining about Trump on this. Levin doesn’t understand Trump’s methods”
Levin is STILL an idiot, just about like half of Freepers.
Trump KNEW they’d reject his very reasonable compromise, and would end up looking like obstructionist assholes to the vast majority of folks. Trump now has the moral high ground and can lambast the Dems as intolerant, uncaring, inflexible ideological tools.
What would the not so crazies do to the country’s benefit?
I would like to know which Trump demand the Democrats hate most?
a) money for the Wall
b) end of chain migration
c) end of diversity lottery.
Then come back with a counter-proposal. Passage for Dreamers for the other two. Tell them if they don’t accept, he’ll put all three back on the table.
If they refuse, you can say he even compromised and they still wouldn’t do it. If they *do* accept the counter-proposal, you’ll either have them accepting money for the Wall or an end to chain migration. Winning in Washington is getting 2-out-of-3.
You called it. I almost got the feeling Levin didn’t believe what he was saying and just needed an “outrage” to get the show going.
Logic and reason doesn’t sell.
Art of the deal and the rats look real bad rejecting this deal.
Not automatically vote for Dems.
“Then come back with a counter-proposal. “
NO COUNTER PROPOSALS!!!
That’s how Dems ALWAYS get 99% of what they want: the GOP keeps “negotiating” until they have “negotiated” away everything.
Trump knows better than to do that, because Trump has watched how the GOP “negotiates” with the Dems.
Trump will (and should) stick with his original offer. Period.
