The horrible leftist demo_rats will continue to obstruct and not accept this compromise.
The demo_rats really do hate the United States and look to destroy it so they can enrich themselves.

Not sure this speech accomplished anything. Dems will continue to obfuscate the issue until they see the shutdown as a losing issue. Then, they might be willing to put up the $$$.
He also told the Dems exactly what happens next if they do not accept.
For mindless Americans, he looks like he is willing to negotiate and bend. It give him the moral ability to drop the military builds the wall hammer at the end of the week. Monday he is past the 30 day shutdown mark and can fire gov. employees. Dems have been outplayed all around, they either negotiate and a wall happens or they do not and a real wall happens. No matter what he can do what he wants with the firing of gov. employees.
President Trump knows Mitch McConnell is the enemy also. DACA and TPS were thrown in there and President Trump is betting that the Democrats will not go for them. Rush Limbaugh will say this on Monday also. I guarantee Pelosi and Schumer will reject this and President Trump will then be forced to close the border.
Just watched it - he nailed it ...especially since Dems will decline and show they really care not a whit about those they claim to care so much about - and care even less for the People.
He was very sure to say we will build the wall “ONE WAY OR ANOTHER”
I think this is their last chance to compromise and save face, if not he will indeed declare an emergency.
I heard the entire speech. There are just 5 words that comprise its keystone:
“ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.”
If DJT says he will achieve his objective one way or the other, I am quite satisfied he will achieve his objective.
I’m ordering the bumper stickers tonight. :)
Nancy won't even consider voting on any part of it and Chuck calls it "hostage taking."
Chuck and Nancy are NOT SERIOUS. They are the party of obstruction, the party of NO.
Trump talked about bipartisanship and this as a downpayment to fixing the larger immigration system. Good for McConnell for putting this to a Senate vote at least.
Shame on the damnable hack Paul Ryan for not deal with this when he was speaker and lying to Trump about what they would take up in the House.
