Someone's decided to let lindsey be the face of the Republican party.
He is a ringer.

I'm not going to be represented by this guy...no more than I'd let McGreevy speak for me.

What the hell are you doing over on the hill?

The problem is the swamp. We elected a guy. He is blocked at all every turn. He had both houses and couldn’t get a wall built. Unless he “acts” It surely won’t get built with a democrat house.

Build it now and let the courts put together an army to block it.

He is starting to talk exactly like McCain.
Don’t trust him Donald, this is someone who wants power and will do anything to keep it.

Linda’s still got that uniparty instinct.

Not that it matters, but he has at least changed my opinion on him. He’s not blackmailed into being a betrayer. He’s just a spineless scumbag.

“He had both houses and couldn’t get a wall built...”

I don’t disagree with your post at all, but I question whether he really “had both houses”.

I think having “control” of a chamber is very important - but it’s not a panacea when both houses are infested with backstabbing RINOs and neverTrumpers.

I would venture to say Trump is actually better off now, despite the GOP’s loss of control of the House. A bunch of the worst neverTrumpers are gone, and the President has earned a degree of respect from the remaining Republicans that he didn’t have in his first two years.

Meanwhile, the Democrat majority is thin enough that they will not enjoy the same unity they did when in a narrow minority. They will face the problem a thin majority always faces, as congressmen realize they have the power to extort their leadership for deals and concessions by withholding their vote. It will be Republicans who now have the incentive to unify.

Fatal ground.

The GOP had two YEARS to fund a wall. Now Trump has to do something or he will not last the year. He may not anyway.

Desperate men do desperate things.

Why do you assume the military is on Trump’s side?

The USSC could tell the Army to block construction, and they will probably do it.

Any solution for dreamers has to cost.

Yes

Like no criminal record and have to qualify and serve time in the military. Yes

Their GI bill will not go for education

Yes

but will allow them to apply and become citizens.

NO!

Maybe make them legal foreign status because they came here no fault of their own.

But in NO case allow them to vote.

Trump needs to do an EO to stop motor-voter which allows millions of illegal invading criminal aliens to vote.

If all of the illegal/fraudulent votes were made invalid which were cast in the last election the results would be remarkably different.

“Sen. Lindsey Graham says he encouraged Trump during a telephone conversation Sunday to reopen government for a short period to try to negotiate a deal with Democrats to end the impasse.”

No

The dems can negotiate now. Why think just because Trump stops the Democrat/Pelosi/Schumer shutdown that the dems will come to the table?

They have had 3 weeks where Trump has been sitting in DC waiting for them to come to the table.

And they refuse to negotiate

Trump needs to stand strong and not capitulate to the lyin’ dems cause this is the same tactic of Pelosi “you have to pass the bill to know what Is in it”

Perhaps. Time for trump to do what Obama did. Replace the top echelon (which had been installed by zer0).

Good analysis, enumerated.

I understand your sentiment. The minority that would be willing to serve would serve under a “legalized” status. Once they have successfully completed their service, they have then earned a shot at citizenship. But all illegals have to go.

I don’t think they could be citizens.

Your statement is contradictory.

Dreamers are illegals.

No, first they need to have no criminal record. Then, if they qualify and are selected, they can gain a "legalized" status by joining the military. Once "legalized" for military service and after they successfully complete their military service, then they would have the opportunity to apply for citizenship.

This applies only to dreamers, and only a narrow minority would qualify. This path would not be an easy pass through. We should probably add a requirement for a citizen guardian/sponsor also.

The paren’t need to be brought to task
They need to be found and made to repay all costs
Welfare mediCal medical schooling
The immigration laws are clear
Either a sponsor or proof invaders can be self sufficient and not be on any programs that cost us taxpayers
Otherwise reunite the families and repatriate them
Make them get in line in theit own countries
