I am of the opinion that what is needed here is a change in optics to counter the MSM. A series of build the wall rallies perhaps?
Why blame Drudge for TRUMP FOLDING?! Trump folded, was defeated, gave up, lost, whatever. That is the problem. Why did he? Blame it on media, on Republicans, on what? Maybe on Trump. He couldn’t get $5 billion when $25 billion was on the table months ago. I think the blame starts squarely in the House, Ryan and everyone undercut him and us at every opportunity—Same in the Senate. How many years did we hear and see all these great stands until they had a chance to pass, then they came up short. Even Obamacare. Well, a judge is forcing their hand on that one and they have NOTHING ready, no replacement. The wall, Trump stood alone, now is defeated. Shame on Republicans. And, yes, shame on Trump for not taking a stand. He folded on this earlier when he should have stood, not harder to do so. I fear we’ve lost and we’ll see defeat after defeat over the next two years. Next time will be the same as last time. Many of us pointed that out previously. A sad, discomforting ‘I told you so.’
THIS is from Washington Post...
I’ll believe it IF I hear it from the President
The Dems simply don’t care about securing the border.
So a week ago Trump didn’t know that he would go elsewhere for the money if he couldn’t get it through Congress? I am absolutely baffled why he would be threatening to shut down and then not follow through with it..
Most of the difficulty Trump is having now can be traced back to the actions of just one man — Jeff Sessions. If there ever was a vile, cowardly little man...
Help me to understand! Why do we need Democratic votes this year. Don’t we have the majority of votes?? Next year, no! This year, yes??
If the government shuts down over 900,000 swamp critters will go without pay...
Navy Seabees, Can Do! We Build, We Fight, and we can build a WALL!
So the $5B is off the table but he still gets $1.3B, right? Previously the dems had agreed to a House bill approach that included $1.3B for the wall.
If this means there is zero funding for the wall that would be troubling.
Y U G O S L A V I A will seem like a lovely picnic when scales finally tipped.
Well looks like Trump is a one term president.
..... This, coupled with the economy being scuttled before the end of the year puts The Donald’s plan for a second term in office in serious Jeopardy.
Better keep doors locked going to get worse.
BULL!!!! I am not going to be a happy camper if Trump blocks down.
I guess I chose a good time to move to Idaho.
Oh Captain, my Captain ..
In exchange for dropping the wall the Democrats agreed give more tax breaks to the corporate C of C boys(and of course to themselves). Just my guess.
Definitely not the same man we knew at the March For Justice... Probably too many years of being a butt-buddy...
This could be a maneuver, a negotiating “dangle”.
