President Trump will win because it all boils down to the President wanting a wall to protect Americans, and the Democrats wanting to benefit non-Americans. He can tweet all day about crimes committed by illegals, benefits received by illegals which have been cut off for Americans in the shutdown, how the President is protecting the people who have been hired in the boom from unfair labor competition.
Ryan was all but waging the same war on Trump behind the scenes. He was not at all a good faith actor.
Bkmk
They needed 60 votes in the Senate, and wouldn’t have gotten that even if flocks of flying pigs darkened the sky at noon.
...lots of shrimp, steak and lobster sold at the end of this month...
________________
They can shop the sales. My local grocer had whole pork butts for $1/lb and small turkeys for $0.69/lb this week. Lots of canned goods deals, too.
Forego the manicures and hair styling for a couple of months, cook from scratch, they can eat better longer for less.
Good enough for us. I travel to shop cheaper once a month, stock the freezer, utilize almost every leftover/scrap and keep a pantry. Never buy processed food. Buy whole chickens and make soup out of carcasses and drippings. Make our own candy, too. Etc. Second nature to most people and YT is full of videos on eating well for very little, as well as living on a small income. Watch the sales and you can even find steaks, whole muscle in the bag for half the butchered price.
Should not be a problem, but probably will be.
“Both sides are not budging”
Not true. The Trump administration has a new offer out there that helps DACA people, and they switched from concrete to steel.
“They say they want to negotiate, but have nothing to offer. “
This is inaccurate. They have something to offer - they can offer funding for the wall.
They CHOOSE to offer nothing.
“But seriously president Trump has the upper hand because he has an avenue to accomplish his pledge to secure the border in the form of a wall - via declaring a state of emergency.”
I think this is the eventual plan. He realizes that he can’t - well, shouldn’t - just declare one though. Instead, he’s making move after move trying to negotiate with the Dems knowing full well that they will not budge.
Once he’s made a few attempts he can get back on TV saying something like
“I’ve tried, I’ve offered compromise after compromise including things Democrats have wanted for years. They haven’t moved from their initial position. I’d much prefer to work with them but they leave me no choice but to do it alone.”
Like that will help. If they were budget minded they wouldn’t be on welfare. If they were paid early they’ll spend early, it’s already gone.
Come 2020, Trump supporters will still be Trump supporters. We know the Rats have refused to negotiate. We know that the Rats are the reason the wall is not being built. Trump will not be blamed for this by his supporters.
Yet, I hope he will use the Border Crisis as a reason to have the military build the wall. We can’t afford to wait til 2021 & the hope the House will flip again.
BUILD THE WALL NOW! Keep the shutdown going & lay off the non-essential workers, for good.
They didn’t need 60 votes for Obamacare, they could have passed it under reconciliation. That is what it is there for.
The writer is being a bit goofy. I suppose he technically is a “news executive”, but I don’t even know who “RealClearPolitics’ Tom Bevan” is.
Pelosi would have more credibility if she tore down the wall surrounding her mansion.
Art imitates life.
Keep it shutdown FOREVER!
Screw these parasites!
Trump should tell them the longer it drags out the more money he will ask for. For every week they keep it shutdown the price goes up. Say...1 billion a week.
Love to see how that plays out with these idiots.
You can't be serious. It was Ryan's fault the wall wasn't funded over the last 2 years!!!
