Nutshell version?
Here’s the link to Scott Adams’ written blog about what you just saw with The Wall/DACA:

Nothing actually happened.
Screw the cloak and dagger nonsense.
Nutshell version - We are screwed.
I don’t like him. He seems like a weasel dick.
You see, That is why we dont need some jack ass like this to tell us what to think.The exact unaltered videos showing Trumps word’s are repeatedly available . The ramifications of the amnesty for these illegal; aliens and all their relatives ( in the millions) is obvious. The repeated videos of Trump saying “ No amnesty “ that propelled him to victory are right before our eyes. We don’t need interpretation,or rather propaganda , to tell us what to think. This was a capitulation of both Amnesty and the Wall to the left in this country.
“Nothing actually happened.”
Bingo.
This is amnesty but one that is guaranteed to pass with unanimous votes from Republicans and Democrats, including the House Freedom Caucus (who were always pro-amnesty anyway). It is better to take, as Scott Adams says, an imaginary asset and use it to score points with indies and moderates who have been told for the past 9 months or so that Trump is "literally Hitler." Trump's poll numbers will improve, and his base will not leave him over this. Most of the people mad on FR are ideological types who get mad when anyone so much as smiles at a Democrat. Most normal people are not like this.
Fortunately, it is only for DACA members, not the 40-50 million illegals who are here. People are assuming the amnesty will magically pass, like a virus, to relatives who are here illegally. They also would need to actually go through immigration channels (go back and apply), and, in any case, that is legal already and will be elminated once Trump's immigration "merit" reforms are made law, which is overwhelmingly supported by voters. Unfortunately, those reforms have zero chance of passing until we get a new slate of Republicans into Congress. But in the meantime, Trump builds moral authority and strength with moderates to make it happen.
The President definitely is winning by cutting out the extreme left and establishment right but it is not necessarily good for conservatives that he is rallying the middle.
“amnesty for these illegal; aliens and all their relatives”
That’s BS. There is no bill written, no vote, nothing.
This DACA saga is pure made for tv drama. When all is said and done the “dreamers” will be exactly where they were a year ago.
If he is doing deals with Pelosi, he’s cutting deals with the extreme left, not cutting them out.
Scott has an interesting take as always.
Is it my imagination or is Scott Adams getting even more condescending and annoying?
Where they were a year ago is right here on our soil. Not a good thing.
but it is not necessarily good for conservatives that he is rallying the middle.What exactly have the so-called "conservatives" done for him/us lately?
There is relatively little legislation of consequence that would make our lives better. The important side at the moment is regulatory and judicial. President Trump is winning big in both areas. As for legislation, I want Obamacare repealed. Unfortunately, the RINOs are traitors. I want the Wall funded. Unfortunately, the RINOs are traitors. I want the Hearing protection Act. Unfortunately, the RINOs are traitors. For now, I'll settle for no big legislative losses but big gains on the Supreme Court and a reduced regulatory burden.
Trump is - LITERALLY - and mean LITERALLY - the last chance there is of preserving America.
His supporters understand this, innately. Hence we will follow him through anything and everything, not waivering. Period.
If THIS MAN, with a persuasion skill set literally unmatched in American politics, today or EVER, cannot do it, there is - LITERALLY - no hope for America’s future.
That is really all you need to know. Oh, and Scott Adams - well he’s just the only guy who predicted Trump would win, why he would win, and who has explained, patiently, exactly how Trump WINS. And WINS. And WINS.
Good thing is, we know the enemy is not listening (or more accurately, unwilling to listen or even understand, because they are “watching a different movie” in their heads, as Scott would put it).
So, God-willing, the WINNING will - CONTINUE....
