This reminds me a lot of the “extra week to investigate Kavanaugh” deal. Vote was imminent but was in danger due to flaky Republicans. Forcing a vote would have meant defeat. Squishy pubs made a deal w the Dems to delay the vote for a week to further vet Kavanaugh. Lindsay Graham and even Trump calmly supported it as the base howled (myself included, wrongly)..Dems win blah blah

Similarly here Trump is going along with the compromise-delay. It placates squishy Pubs and reinforces support of his long term goal for a short term sacrifice.

And just like Kavanaugh eventually was confirmed so too will Trump get his way on border security.

Exactly right....

How many times has President Trump “caved” on something only to find out later that he was right about what he said or he did the right thing...

Some in here jump to conclusions so fast that it makes you think FR is inundated with DU’ers trying to pass themselves off as FReepers....

Kavanaugh is a good analogy. I’m still all in for POTUS. But every day my view of the GOP gets lower. I will never understand why the GOP has a political death wish. Trump has thrown them a rope and is trying his hardest to save them but they won’t take it.
