O.K. The Dems. have roared, "No wall", the Repubs. have predictably rolled over on their backs and begged for a tummy rub, and the government will run dry on Friday. Sound familiar? Anyone for a good Hurl?
But hold your fire, I believe, and greatly hope the difference will be Trump, as follows; The GOP, of course, by nature or design will cave and vote a bill without a wall. If Senate concurs Trump will veto. It cannot be overridden.
The Dems. scream and blame Trump. He doesn't give a lusty one, and the Repubs. are safe because they voted for the bill,sans Wall, in the first place. By now the government is out of money and the Demo scream has become a shriek.
Trumps threatens to veto any future bills without the Wall. They know he means it and doesn't give a care. Now the pressure is on the Dems. for holding-up everything for a lousy billion dollars for a Wall this year.
Now in an act of unusual courage the GOP puts the Wall back-in and defies the Demorats to keep the government closed by voting against it. The Ds' lose their nerve for a change, and Trump signs the Bill. The government opens, and disoriented Democrats hold a big meeting, then scurry for their holes.
Well, the closer to election time the more important are the checks from the globalist masters. Don’t tell me Trump’s numbers will not be down as a result of not getting signature issues - so, hence his leverage will be down also. The best shot of getting what you want done is right after an election, not right before one.
It went from shutting down govt..to funding fight in Sept...to now 2018.
Congress is not going to fund it. Word is they will give him money for border security so he can spin it as a win.
He is going to have to find funds somewhere else.
Trump has been jerked around enough by congress already.
He had better toughen up or his support will begin to drop.

Too late. His support has ALREADY begun to drop. Too many rollovers already.
Lest anyone forget, back when Trump wasn't really considered a contender around here I was one of his top fans.
The signature of whoever was president then. That’s what they’ve been stacking up since the Bush 1 shutdown, more and more continuing resolutions that will just roll. That’s how they went 4 years without even debating much less approving a budget. There’s nothing for Trump to sign, Clinton, Bush 2, and Obie signed it all already. The only time we have any kind of “shutdown” now is when they start bumping into the debt ceiling, and even those average “shutting down” around 10% of the government. With nothing for him to sign nobody is getting sent home, and it is just a show.
So the CS contains funding for the wall?
