Okay, fine. I don’t think declaring an emergency will work as the courts will stop it before the ink is dry. Even if it means shutting down government, he needs to stand fast. Unless Republicans join Democrats to override his veto, he still has power if he chooses to use it. He needs to skip the campaign talk and talk specifics, lay out a full plan to build the wall, reform immigration. And while this is happening, there is no reason why he hasn’t shut down the border with Mexico, a step short of an emergency, to say he has stopped things while congress works out an acceptable solution. Lots of other steps he can do. Deploy the military again, more, etc.
OK, good to hear some specifics. Would you keep the government shut down indefinitely? Then what about all the government workers, the TSA? Is this really practical? And do you really think that if Trump just shut down the border that that wouldn’t be challenged in court, too? The problem is he doesn’t have much leverage and the media, the radical Dems and Mueller are working hard EVERY DAY to force him out. I don’t know how the man takes it...
