A few weeks ago, Rahm Emanuel crawled out of the depths of hell to state that Trump can only be defeated by splitting his base.

For those of you whining about the President’s decision today and spewing all of that doom and gloom nonsense, you are making Rahm’s strategy happen.

This was NOT an ideal outcome today, but to score this as a total victory for the Rats is ridiculously short sighted. There WILL be bumps on the road. However, if anyone can pull off the wall, it’s President Donald J. Trump.

Lick your wounds tonight ... avoid spreading misery and depression tomorrow. This isn’t over, not by a long shot.

Give an inch, they take a mile.

I guess I am more of the type of person that you increase the pressure on both sides until there is so much pressure that both sides come to an agreement.

If one side blinks before maximum pressure, as the case here, then you have lost your leverage. Trump has lost leverage.

The fight might not be fully over, but he has lost all that pressure that was building.
