I don’t disagree with your observations. I too have wanted immigration brought under control since the early 90s.
The wall is the best way to do it > IMO.
Where I quibble with Ann, is her comprehension of the problem.
Trump wants it. Even though he could us EOs to get what he wants, that isn’t the way I want it accomplished.
We railed on Obama for using EOs. Now here were are, Congress refusing to budge, and so we’re hoping Trump will just tell them off and do what he wants.
Some folks will disagree with me here, but I don’t think he has that kind of power. The SCOTUS is a branch of government that can’t be trusted at all anymore.
You know, it’s too easy to sit back in the cheap seats and trash Trump and make noise about him not getting re-elected. Actually being in a position of power, brings reality home.
All Ann is doing is helping the Left to accomplish their goal of destroying Trump’s base of support.
Who are we going to go to, if not Trump on these matters? No person in Congress will pull for a wall if it costs Trump his job. There’s a ton of other stuff too, that Trump is getting done.
If folks support Trump, they are happy about those other things. Do we get those things without Trump? We sure didn’t get them until Trump did we.
I’ll be voting for Trump. Folks can tell themselves they won’t vote for “Bush” because of tax hikes if they like, but winding up with a Clinton is the result.
Who would we be happy to trade Trump out for?
I don’t see that person on either side of the isle.
That’s the reality Ann ignores to pop off. All she has to do is move Trump’s support by a few percent, and she could accomplish making him nonviable. Then what?
Ann is willing to sell us out to whatever Trump is replaced with.
Then what Ann?
It’s like the Left pushing for Communism. If they get it, then what? It’s over.
Without Trump it’s over too.
No, dear, I disagree. Watch what happens.
No wall, no 2020. Just watch.
Happy New Year, BTW. :)
Thank you for such a great post/response - that is a very cogent argument.
“We railed on Obama for using EOs. Now here were are, Congress refusing to budge, and so we’re hoping Trump will just tell them off and do what he wants.”
Isn’t that what Ann wants?
I believe so.
As Rush has repeatedly said; Only Trump can destroy his support.
Anne made a prediction, maybe a little too soon but not an outrageous one. The President himself floated the idea of a spending bill with out wall funding, which set off the outrage and The President toughened up immediately. I see no harm in reminding the President we are still here, but he has to get really tough and keep his promise, one way or the other.
