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.

They will not listen, I agree. It’s very frustrating.
Beating my chest eh? Who cares what the 9th circuit does. At some point someone somewhere has to break the ice. How many years have you heard that this “ immigration problem” will be fixed? Until the people fight back we’re toast. I’ve been hearing politicians promise crap for decades. No more. Somewhere out in our land there is a patriot who will rally the people in a genuine movement. This situation is going to boil over at some point. I’m not a leader but if the call goes out to rally, march, tote a rifle, I’m ready. I’m not going to wait on the government to solve this situation.
Review his speech...there was no mention of DACA.
Dims doing splody heads all over.

I suppose retreat and surrender are tactics.
They just dont really get you anything.

So when did you earn your first billion?

When the old-man makes a fortune and I get to run the family biz, maybe get a ‘loan’ me a few million and try my own thing....
But, GREAT way to stay on topic /s *SMH*
And where did he surrender? The Democrats don’t care about anyone’s suffering so the government shutdown wasn’t going to end. Trump has to go around them.
Well thank you for your opinion, maybe you just don’t know all of the facts like Trump does.
Fallacious argument.
Dodge my original comment.
I see why the left is winning. :)
What makes you smarter than Trump?
How many elected offices have you held?
Fallacious that. Or just dodge it.
Isn’t one of Alinsky’s rules to abandon tactics that aren’t working?
If people think that Trump just caved on building the wall and that this is it, don't know Trump.
This is not the end of the fight, This was only the opening salvo and my money is on Trump to bamboozle the democRATS again.
He will get his wall built with or without them.
They have no patience, have no thoughts that are ground in fact, basis or foundation, but, oh do they have an opinion and know it to be true.
Eff them, and their whole family, and their relatives.!
Perhaps they will step right up and take over the reins and show us peons what they got?
Actual, physical results matter, cyber bullshit, not so much.
It has become increasingly easy to recognize the yadi yada from smack talkers and their ilk who strive at being poseurs whose attempts at elucidation are disguised knives into the president's back.
>>>This from a R senator who is well regarded on FR<<<
Just an FYI. He is a Congressman, not a Senator.
Oh, ye of little faith....
I’m not turning my back on him. I’m just honest enough to admit that Nancy bent him over and bumpstocked him in front of the whole country.
Just like the third travel ban, I see an expedited appeal to the Supreme Court for declaring National Emergency. On September 2017, Trump issued the third travel ban. By June 2018, the Supreme Court sided with Trump. The Supreme Court could rule in favor of Trump in less than one year.
We all have the answers but only Trump knows the plan. If he stumbles, he will get up and revise his plan and take a new route.. He didn’t get to where he is by not knowing what he is doing. Have faith in him. Unfortunate that he has so little backing from Republicans, seems he’s fighting a war all by himself.
Trump brilliance. In three weeks he gets his wall and the Democrats are totally exposed as childish petulant spoiled brats. He kills 2 birds with one stone.
