Don’t doubt President Trump. You’ll likely be disappointed.
Offer up a plum until they walk out that door. Once it closes, offer rescinded.
Prosecutors use that tactic all the time and if it’s good enough for the government prosecutors I can’t imagine why it’s not good enough for the President.
Besides that, most of these guys and gals have already voted as much and more in the past!
Its just Madame “Lucy” (aka Pelosi) and the football, “now you see it, now you don’t,” flexing her testicles.
He will proceed with the wall using military assets without a state of emergency.
Democrats will oppose and obstruct so Trump will be forced to declare an emergency
The wall will get built and the Democrats will be left holding the bag with POed constituents wishing for what might have been on DACA and immigration concessions and a host of other agenda issues that they had leverage on in wall negotiations but have lost forever
The wall will get built which is a disaster for Dems because they have made it the metric for success with Trump’s presidency
The wall has broad support and the more they obstruct, the worse things get for them as the old line blue collar and black vote walks and their illegal alien constituency they have calculated is their future gets militant and starts eating them alive
He knew they wouldn’t take it. That’s why he offered it. Now the damage to Pelosi is done and it’s off the table.
Ignoring the insane spin in the article, this is another bit of very good news today.
I don’t trust the Supreme Court until Ginsburg is replaced.
Will this happen?
Even so, this is the line up:
For the Left (always voting in lockstep)
Bryer
Ginsburg
Keegan
Sotomayor
For the Right:
Alito
Gorsuch
Kavanaugh
Thomas
The new swinger:
Roberts
With Ginsburg not voting, I expect Roberts to vote Left for her.
Sorry, I should have said I don’t trust the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
Ed, you ignorant slut.
So if it goes to SCOTUS and Ginsberg is unconscious it becomes an eight seat bench for the vote?
Pro-amnesty Hot Air blowing.
Good for Trump for pulling back from that.
As expected.
“Trump’s mercurial temperament made bargaining nearly impossible.”
False. President Trump has independence from lobbyists which is confusing to people like the author.
He made the offer. The offer was REJECTED. A rejected offer is NO LONGER open.
The Art of the Deal
Ed Morrisey is simply obtuse. Question #1: How did Pelosi respond to Trump’s offer? If she rejected it en toto, is it even still an offer?
Its call ‘they turned it down’
It now off the table and the leftards can whine about it all they want
But then THEY dont actually care about anything than their own power - their position on the Border Wall — which THEY once called to be built speaks loudly for who they ARE and what they stand for.
Jackals who eat garbage and go rabid ...
I wish my Parents were still alive to live this moment of time.
We get to experience the Trump Presidency. We are blessed.
” Trump explicitly offered this deal on January 19th,”
And it was rejected. When you reject an offer, or make a counter offer, the original offer is vaporized. The offeror doesn’t have to commit to any part of it.
Is this that Morrissey guy who seems to spend all his time changing his mind.
I used to think he supported President Trump, and after several of his screeds, I can’t figure exactly WHAT he supports.
The dims change their minds all the time. Vote for the wall. No, vote against the wall. No wait, vote for the wall.
And we are supposed to be absolutely consistent. Fudge you.
He offered the deal. They refused it.
A deal once offered and refused, is known as “no deal.”
Brilliant tactic Nancy. How’s that workin’ for ya?
Trump will build the wall, and DACA will remain an issue into the future. You could have resolved it with Trump.
Frankly, I’m glad you didn’t, but that’s the truth of it.
You screwed up royally Ms. Pelosi.
