He may be trying to wait out RGB to get to 6-3, but it will still be a couple of months, at least, even if she ‘retired’ today.

Uh, huh.

Like I’m really going to believe some unnamed person who supposedly read whatever Trump’s about to say.

As if Trump would be stupid enough to let ANYONE in on what he’s going to say if he didn’t trust them 100%.

Remember that the no Wall Street Urinal does NOT want a wall. They are the engine pulling the Cheap Labor Express train. They despise Main Street.

I don’t think he will announce a national emergency and build the wall without congress.

I think this article is poetically what he will talk about.

And of course, the “fact check” media will be commenting to tell us all that up is really down.

I am sick of these scum bags in the media. If Trump’s speech was about the sun rising tomorrow, CNN would run a “fact check” somehow claiming that the sun doesn’t rise. The they will call the President a liar.

I don’t think he would declare an emergency, then visit the border. If he is going to declare, it will be after the visit IMHO.

Rope-a-dope. They have been going all out for two days on how to fight him on a state of emergency.
Instead he’s just going to pound them on the facts, roast their feet in the fire, and give them nothing to attack him legally on

I worry the Democrats will want some gun control for the wall and sell it as additional security.

Unfortunately it ain’t 6-3 with Roberts and Kavanaugh.

Sometimes it might be. Sometimes not.

“Instead he’s just going to pound them on the facts, roast their feet in the fire, and give them nothing to attack him legally on”

Correct.

The decisive and lasting victories are the political victories. He wants to beat them, soundly, on the field of public opinion.

Let the Democrats and the media argue over HIS facts.

Watch the solid “Blue Wall” crumble into factions, as red state Senators and purple district Representatives begin to cry for help.

The Emergency Declaration may have been little more than a Red Herring.

Look! Squirrel!

STUPID. Even National Review NeverTrumper John Fund admitted that Trump has the absolute legal right to declare an emergency and have unused Pentagon funds build it. Making this a never-ending electoral arm-wrestle might help 2020, but not if he is impeached. Building a wall NOW will help save this nation, which is what we elected him to do. Add a true entry-exit visa system and mandatory eVerify, and illegal immigration essential ends in the U.S.A.
