His only real option that he can even kinda declare victory in is the SoE...

But that's deader than JFK after Ted Cruz's father finished with him so...

Here's the sense I'm getting.
The more ridiculous grandstanding that Doofus Drumph engages in,
the more he rallies his 1/3 base, but
the MADDER, and MORE DETERMINED the other 2/3 are
to GET RID of Doofus Drumph.

Drumph's shameless narcissism is going to turn out to be his own worst enemy.
It gives him immediate gratification when he rallies 1/3 of the voters,
but, in the longer term, it is going to BITE him HARD.

If the US Congress sends him a funding bill to sign and he vetos it,
TWICE as many people are going to be FURIOUS at him,
as will be CHEERING him on.

You know what would be REALLY COOL, is if you could CAPITALIZE and HIGHLIGHT the real points you want to make in EACH and EVERY post.


No. In fact. That would be AWESOME.

If you INSIST ...

How about he do that just for the stuff he can prove, unlike his total BS in the health care cost thread?

That feeling when you're so bad at negotiating your own party wishes you would just go away...

Republicans want Trump to keep out of border talks

We heard this shit about the shut down on this board before. It didn’t hurt the Repubs at all.

When it comes to election time the only thing that matters is the 2 candidates.

If RBG dies prior to 2020 and Trump gets another one, I could care less who gets elected

Truth is, Pelosi said she would negotiate if the gov were reopened.

Trump reopened it and SHE will not negotiate.

Your link just goes to show why I voted fro Trump - the GOP has failed for years, so if the GOP is not on board with Trump, it is good. because they are losers. And cowards.

The GOP could not negotiate flies to a pile of crap.

Pelosi has never said they'll give him a wall...

That is hearing what you want to hear. What Pelosi and Democrats are actually doing is exposing the President as a lightweight amateur.

Trump's complete lack of discipline has also done nothing but hurt him this entire time. Apparently we're back to WALL now...

Democrats will pass through appropriations a bunch of stuff on border security making it clear it's really just Trump pandering to his base trying to keep a unkeepable promise.

Total BS here being whatever Tom is not emotionally committed to.

So would you in her position.

There will be additional border security in the appropriations bill. Is Trump going to veto it though because it doesn't have his wall?

How does that play out among the general population who thought the shutdown was dumb and overwhelmingly blamed the President for it the first time?
