Hey Sam, ltns. Glad to see your post. Lest anyone think I don't support my President 100%, I absolutely do! I disagree with him taking this tack however, and I think he surrendered his leverage.

As I said in a previous post, his threat today to declare a national emergency if he doesn't get funding for the wall is really moot at this point. Schumer and Pelosi have someone camped outside the 9th Circus Court of Appeals just ready to file the lawsuit to stop our President should he declare the emergency (and btw, I believe our sorely inadequate border defenses on the Southern Border are inexcusable.)

Also, as I said earlier if the Republicans in the House and Senate really backed this President, funding would've been passed LONG AGO when we had the House, Senate and White House. That tells me the Republican's really don't want border security, they want the "issue" to campaign with and that's the same b.s. tactic the Democrats use.

I'm sorry to say I think our President is hosed on this issue. He lost. He "trusted" the Democrats to bargain in good faith and we all know the Democrats don't bargain and they don't know the meaning of "good faith."

I back our President, still proud to have voted for him and will do again in 2020, just think he lost on this issue. Makes me sad.

I’m reserving judgement. I’m giving him the three weeks.
