In a sense, the problem is our system. It is based upon the principle that the power to govern flows from the PEOPLE by their consent. It is of paramount importance, therefore, that the PEOPLE be virtuous and aligned with "the Governor of the Universe" in the knowledge that the powers to govern, ultimately, are endowed to them by God. Unfortunately, at present millions upon millions of American citizens (and Illegals) couldn't care less about the essential role of religious faith in the system of self-governance.

Our nation is divided. If we win elections, it is by thinnest of margins. Our elected officials are not our "leaders," they are our "representatives" and, thus, their power to act is relative to the degree of the PEOPLE'S support. It's up to us to change the hearts and mind of the PEOPLE who have become the useful idiots of the Left. Then, we need to elect men and women who will stand firm for America's principles. . .and not by 51% margins, either. We need to turn the tide so that the righteous can garner enough support to make Dem cheating superfluous.

To truly "make America great again" we have to do our job to bring to Trump a greater power, that is, more PEOPLE supporting the vision to revive our nation by returning to the principles upon which it was founded.

This isn’t over...tune in 3 weeks from now. Trump NEVER plays to lose. Like Ulysses Grant, “I can’t spare this man, he fights.”

Trust that a life-long fighter isn’t going to suddenly cave to some senile old crone who never had to fight for anything in her life.

He’s been reading my mind, AND my posts. But he said it better, and to a huge audience. Tell it, Schlicter!

How many things that you wanted done today yesterday, would have been done by Hillary?

Today is a good day!

Two of President Trump’s major campaign points were building the wall and putting Traitorhillary in prison (or preferably a noose).

The President’s chance of reelection depends on his publicly-known progress on these two issues. Trump no doubt knows this as well as knowing that the traitorous Demonicrats and RINOcrats are also aware of this.

>>>>Unfortunately, that 10% stuff was what got him elected<<<

The other 90% was Hillary being the alternative.

Thank you. It’s like people think he has the power to singlehandedly fund and build a wall. HE DOESN’T.

He had the power when Republican's owned both houses of Congress his first two years. Stop ignoring that fact.

The Republican Party should've done their job and either passed funding his first six months in office, or jammed it down Pelosi and Shumer's throats after the last election and before the house turned over to the Democrats.

That they didn't do it tells us everything we need to know about the state of the Republican Party in both the House and Senate.

Do I blame President Trump here? No. He's been calling to build the wall since he got in office. I blame the spineless Republican's in both the House and Senate for this fiasco.

Damn' them all.

What makes you think I'm ignoring that? It just proves my point... he can't go it alone, he needs Congress. Both parties.

you have an option. If Trump has done 90% then you have a weak list.

This is about showing the American People how against their interests the Democrats really are.

They are experts at hiding and they have the media to cover for them, so this is an educational experience for many people. Its also the start of the 2020 campaign.

90%?

He promised to arrest Hillary and build a wall. Batting 0/2 so far.

I voted for him based on those two things alone.

"Lets assume Trump knew he would never get Pelosi to agree. Why then pursue a losing strategy?

Will not another Yuuuge dose of Pelosi NO! go a long way to damage her, her party, perhaps eventually remove her ? This will show DJT has bent over backwards, taking the heat, and now must obviously declare a national emergency. All while dems prove their intransigence.

In the meantime, Trumpers in congress insist they can get money for the wall within 3 weeks. If they fail, back to plan A with even more congressional Trumpers supporting him.

Judicial intervention will surely and quickly follow, but an expedited schedule could resolve it in the SC in a few months.

Nor do I think "national emergency" opens the gates for similar future dem declarations such as climate change. (just such a court debate I would welcome before a court than soon leans right 6-3, or 5-4 at least.)

Stay the course, begin tax returns, cash your back pay, keep the airports open. I do wish the RiF procedures would begin. Reductions in force at a time of unprecedented job growth (and minimal hardship) puts us on the right track for years to come and puts people in jobs that actually accomplish something.

"3 He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks."

Trump has divided patriots by allowing this Q nonsense to go on without refutation. Now he's divided the unfooled group by allowing his friends to be arrested, by failing to declassify the fisa docs, by not firing Mueller, by letting Pelosi cancel OUR state of the union, and now caving on the wall. He promised Hillary in cuffs and a wall, instead he's pandering to the Godless greedy wing of the party.

Trump's army is no longer animated by the same spirit throughout it's ranks, and he has no one to blame but himself.

You speak only for yourself, you have no idea how anyone else feels.Stop making unfounded generalizations.

The President , in his announcement night, clearly said he was giving the Democrats a chance to deal in "good faith". That's because they were saying he had to open government and THEN they'd talk about border security. Now we get to see whether they're operating in good faith or not (they're not).

And at the end he clearly called the situation an emergency, which it is. So, last chance Dems, step up to the plate!

Unfounded? Even Ann Coulter is calling him a wimp. Perhaps you should research her book sales numbers. How do you think the crowds at his rallies would react if he told them he was going to let Nancy cancel OUR sotu? Cave on the wall? Allow his friends to be arrested for nothing? etc etc etc.

Half of his possibly only term is over and we don't have ONE deep stater in cuffs!

Why not wait the 20 days and see what POTUS does instead of allowing the Rat narrative to color your thoughts and emotions??
