What shutdown?

[Cowboy Bob]

the $1.3 billion the Democrats have approved for border security and the $5.7 billion the president is demanding

Yeah, but... the Democrats would not allow any of that $1.3 billion from being used to build the wall.

LOL! First, ‘chaize lounge’ (formerly known as Chair[cher]) jumps on the chuckalosi clown show for being stoopid, now marc thiessen.

The shutdown is about making sure Trump can’t make good in his signature campaign promise in the hopes of unseating him in the next election. The US government spends $5.7 billion every 10 hrs, Pelosi can nap through that.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

Marc Thiessen is one of my favorite pundits. Very clear and concise.

We can survive a Nancy Pelosi or a Chuck Schumer because they won’t be in their positions forever.

However, THIS COUNTRY WILL NOT SURVIVE A FOOLISH ELECTORATE THAT WILL PUT PEOPLE LIKE THESE IN POSITIONS OF POWER.

[Blood of Tyrants]

It’s not about the money. It;s about being anti-Trump and keeping as many illegal aliens on the voter rolls as possible.

[Drew68]

It's not about a wall. It's about egos. Pelosi won't allow President Trump to win on this. President Trump won't allow Nancy Pelosi to beat him. It's a matter of who blinks first.

Right now, President Trump is holding all the cards. The American people support him on border security and it's primarily Democrat constituents who are suffering under the shutdown. He knows he has the advantage and that's why he backed away from declaring a national emergency (that would've allowed both sides to save face).

He wants to break Pelosi.

First “The Hill” and now “The Washington Post”?

The Liberals must be democrapping their pants!

More WINNING!

[shanover]

Schumer,Pelosi,”Stupid” and “government” are one in the same.

[GOPJ]

...far and away, the stupidest government shutdown in American history Marc Thiessen

Make the shutdown a 'teachable moment':

Replace furloughed government workers with illegals ... They work cheaper AND it will show democrats what their open borders policies do to citizens.

After a few years - when DC workers haven't been paid in two years - AND their divorce rates, suicide rates, and drug addiction problems equal the rest of the country - then maybe we'll talk about ending the shutdown. Or just giving the jobs permanently to illegals - who also get to prey on the misery and lives of the unemployed workers they replaced...Let the 'eye opening' begin...

Please, the last thing anyone should want is a smart Democrat.
