Saturday on Fox News Channels Americas News HQ, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) defended the deal President Donald Trump had announced to reopen the federal government on Friday.
Gohmert told host Kristin Fisher the deal was not a cave to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (R-CA), but instead the first round of many in the battle over border wall funding.
No, I dont think that hes caved to Speaker Pelosi, Gohmert said. This is round one of a, you know, 12-round bout, maybe 15. So and this is a very strategic move on the presidents part. I was visiting him at the White House on Wednesday, and I know what he is doing. This is a good move on his part. He has not capitulated on the wall. The problem is when youre dealing with leaders in a party who are more concerned with political victories than they are about protecting the country, then you really have a tough time. Then when youve got a Senate that has people that got elected to do nothing as Republicans except make Trumps life miserable, its a tough area to navigate.

Not accurate. More like a two-minute warning and a sideline infraction warning.
Consider that, perhaps, Trump knows what he is doing and that you are wrong. That could explain why he is the President and you are an anonymous poster on a web site. I'm going to bet on Trump.
Bull-Obama
Love it!
Screw the 15 round fight K.O. that beotch with an executive order or go home.
The Ninth Circus would strike it down before you could beat your chest a second time.
The President will get the wall he wants because it is also what the American people want - especially ME!!!
IMO, He is setting the stage, doing the ground work necessary to call an emergency which requires winning some court battles. He knows exactly what to do.
He does if he wants to solidify public support which is critical to success whether you think so or not.
Nice.
Again, the 9th Circuit has the worst record at the SCOTUS as far as being overturned is concerned. Its all a matter of lightning quick, expedited appeals to the SCOTUS instead of the glacial pace we used to get from Sessions. The DOJ should already have plotted strategy and tactics even before Trump makes an emergency declaration if he does.
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
Know when to duck, and when to deliver a hard hook.
There are a lot of FReepers who understand this. Others are still in the beginning stages of their real education.
I don’t know how many times in the last two years I have said “watch and learn.” I’m not going to say it anymore. It’s not working.
