President Donald Trump’s campaign manager is pushing him to hold firm in his ongoing battle with Democrats over funding for a border wall with Mexico.

Brad Parscale is making his pitch as Trump continues to negotiate with Democrats over border wall funding with the possibility of another government shutdown looming in less than three weeks.

As part of his pitch, Parscale is presenting the President with internal data that shows voters in key swing areas believe a border wall or fence is needed.

After the shutdown ended, Parscale commissioned a GOP firm to test the President’s job performance and his border policies in 10 swing House districts where Democrats won in November. The chosen districts allow Parscale to show how staying the course could put pressure on House Democrats and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to break their so far steadfast opposition to funding a border wall....

Isn’t this about several days too late?

Parscale returned $90M of his pay in 2016 to the campaign.

He should remind President Trump that he has already compromised and the swampsters have not.

The notion of “border wall or fence” has me worried, like they’re soft messaging it’ll be less than a full wall.

A no-brainer, given that even CNN’s DANA BASH said three days ago that Democrats she talked to had been saying that the Republican’s line, “Democrats don’t want border security”, WAS WORKING against them.

Can’t argue the facts. Truth is the best meme of all.

Not really. Since Pelosi and Schumer have backed themselves into a corner, saying they can never agree to fund the “WALL”, by calling it a “fence” is gives them a chance to save face.

Our entire side has continually compromised since the 1980s on this shiite and gotten zero in return for it.

Weve been compromising for 39 years. Democrats win all 39 gdam years.

No more.

People who think they know more than the insiders need to listen to Parscale. This is one sharp dude, and he is a data expert. He’s moved past Facebook and social media, they are developing a database of individual voters, and they will deliver tailored messaging like a sniper rifle shot vs. a hand grenade.

If you’re interested in knowing what makes Parscale tick, and there’s a lot going on - and can stomach some of Leslie Staha\l - here’s and interview that gives a pretty good sense of his confidence and competence:

Conservative Parscale figured out how to use Facebook better than anyone in history. And now he’s way past Facebook.

Brad and KellyAnne have the data nailed down, but most importantly, are American Hearts who are gonna destroy the DS with that data. And we are foursquare behind them. And God sees this.

That sign is red, and thus a micro-aggression. TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!

President Trump has to be persuaded to stand firm on the border wall, that three week timeline max? We're not amused, we're not sure there's a grand scheme beyond our intellect to understand, and we're not sure President Trump is listening to Deplorable voices over the DC noise.

BUILD THE WALL!!
