“Trump will lose in 2020 with no wall. He’s done nothing to halt illegal immigration. Nothing!”

Hey, Newbie...What have you done other than demean the only leader fighting for us? I am ashamed of you.

Trump never fought very hard when the GOP was in control. If Paul Ryan was not going to fund the wall, what made him think Nancy Pelosi would? The wall should have been a day one priority. But he kept signing one GOP spending bill after another even when they specifically forbid any wall spending. Why the hell would he sign that? If you just got elected and the Congress is forbidding you from doing your central promise of the campaign...THAT is when you go to war. That is where you have the political capital. You don’t wait for the opposition to take control.

This is not good for 2020. Anyone who doesn’t realize that is blind. Not only is this a broken promise, but it’s the type of political loss that will carry on. Remember when Bush lost on Social Security reform? He pretty much threw in the towel at that point. He was never the same. The rest of his presidency was on cruise control. That’s what may happen here.

The only thing left for us to hope for is that Ruth Bader Ginsberg croaks before 2020.
