Yeah Chuck, and the Titanic would never sink! Orville and Wilbur will never fly ! And you will continue to look worse and worse and worse in the eyes of the American people as this drags on cuz Trump is not going to back down!
It is NOT about the money: The $5 billion request is 0.0005 of the Federal budget.
$5 billion is about as much as the annual FEDERAL SUGAR SUBSIDIES!
Americans have a righ to self preservation and democrats are preventing Americans from national security and self preservation.

Although President Trump already holds the clear advantage, I wouldn’t mind seeing an address about the issue.
Yes, and 90% of them are in DC, MD, and VA: all solid DEM strongholds.
I know: I am a fed employee for 15 years.
USMC 4 YRS
civilian at dept of navy 3 yrs
SBA 7 yrs
DOI 1 year
private sector 20 years.
If Chuck Schumer waits until the new Congress is seated if I was Pres Trump I’d say I won’t sign any bills unless its funding for the wall.
Does he have the 67 votes he needs to override Trumps veto? Because if not then the government will remained closed until he gives in. I think all those Dem swamp creatures who are on the government payroll will make him break before Trumps base breaks.
I think it more likely the GOP turns on Trump than the dems give him even a single vote. He's going to lose this. But he'll keep his supporters, which he wasn't going to if he avoided this fight. And the GOP will indeed be radioactive after they capitulate. Who knows, maybe we'll get a new party out of this, one that actually means what they say.
“If you want to open the government, you must abandon the wall, plain and simple,” - Chuck Schumer December 22nd, 2018.
I say we let the politics of this stew with the Democrat Caucus and the American people and ask the question again on February 22nd, 2019.
Democrats will offer $10 billion to make the whole thing go away.
Because THEY ARE BLUFFING.
Do the Democrats have enough seats in the House in the next Congress to override a veto? I don’t think so.
If he doesn’t win this battle he loses the White House.
It’s the hill to die on.
This was Chuck's twitter banner for the last year and a half. He's a domestic enemy like most demoncrats
Oh, and by the way: Gov workers PRAY for shutdowns. They know there is absolutely no chance whatsoever that that will not get paid. ZERO CHANCE. Free, paid vacation is always a fab thing. They will not put any pressure on anybody at anytime to end the rape of the public funds that a shutdown represents.
I think he will lose this because the dems are 100% against it and the GOP is too, truth be told. They will override his veto. But the only way it harms Trump is if he caves, not if he loses. If he caves (as it seemed he was going to) then he is toast. With nobody left to support him the dems will end up putting him in jail on some fake charge. But only if he caves. If the GOP abandons him and overrides his veto then he’ll keep his supporters and probably win in 2020 and the quislings will be the ones who pay the price, not Trump.
They are bluffing and it won’t take that long.
What the Chuckster apparently doesn’t realize is the President’s constituents don’t give a rat’s @$$ how long this shut-down-that-isn’t -really-a-shutdown takes.
He and Nancy are going to be squealing like pigs long before this President even breaks a sweat.
Jeez Chuckie, don’t you want to protect your lesbian daughter, and her new husband/wife? Or any unholy offspring they may bring into the world?
All Trump has to do is tell Senator Schmucky that his third world cesspool New York City won’t get one cent of federal money if there’s no wall funding. All New York City spending will be vetoed, then Schmucky can duke it out with Congressional Republicans to override his veto.
