BTW, my favorite BBQ sauce is from Texas...keep an eye open for it.

Stubb's.

I like the spicy, but the original is also wonderful.

Unless you like sugar, don't get the sweet and spicy.

CNN would be tickled to see Trump “lose his base.”

Not likely to happen.

It'll happen if he signs DACA first before securing funding and starting to build the wall.

Let me quickly add (before anyone calls me a nattering nabob of negativity) that I don't think that's going to happen. I'm reasonably confident Trump will stick to his promise.

Just sayin though, if he doesn't he will loose his base. This is literally the issue that got him elected.

Of course the Fake News Network would be glad, and there are some noobies who also would be glad.

I hope not but saying he’d sign anything they send him and he wanted a “bill of love” sounded pretty Yebbish.

<<>>

Maybe that includes signing a veto.

My view is that year two is about developing issues that will attract some or lots of Democrat support . Such a strategy will force them to act in their own self interest that happens to be good for the country.

For the time being and for the selected issues such as infrastructure there will be a dissolution of the partisan grid lock. Although the democrats will hate it, Republicans will actually come together and the President and the party will get the credit.

The year 2018 is an election year.

I thought Rush’s “sometimes you have to lie” thing was incredibly lame. I couldn’t take it, and turned it off.

He didn't lie. With a few vague sentences, President Trump just fired up the entire conservative base on the topic of illegal immigration.

Master class trolling doesn't just work on the DNC Media.

Give the guy a break...he knows what he's doing.

In the end, this will be winning.

Nah, it's more fun to react blindly without understanding how negotiations work; to quote Rush:

But where is it? Is Trump lying to them? Maybe. Is Trump misleading them? Maybe. In a negotiation, there’s no law that says you have to be truthful. How many of you people have been involved in negotiations? You know one of the greatest negotiation techniques in the world? Let’s say that you’re the boss, and you have an employee that you think needs to be given a raise or maybe even put on contract. And you’re willing to pay a lot, but the last thing you want is for the employee to know it.

You know, it’s enough of a concession that you’re reaching out and trying to make a deal. So in a circumstance like that where you think you may be on the very large of losing any leverage because you’re having to express interest in this, how do you get the leverage back? Well, there are all kinds of ways of doing it. You reach out, and you get things started, and then at some point act like you don’t know what’s going on. The guy shows up for the next negotiation session, and you say, “Why are you here?”

The guy says, “Well, well, we had a meeting agreed.”

“No, we don’t. I don’t have anything on my calendar. Why are you here?”

The employee says, “We had a deal.”

“No. Sorry. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

The employee leaves. You simply lie! You simple say, “No, we don’t have a deal. We don’t have a meeting scheduled here.” So the employee leaves and says, “What the hell is going on?” And then that one little moment here, if there is any leverage perceived on the part of the employee, doubt starts creeping in. “Can I respect this guy? Can I trust what this guy tells me? Is this guy serious?” All kinds of things. So here’s Trump. How many times have Nancy and Chuck thought they’ve had a DACA deal (laughing) with this guy since last September?

So in essence, everything Trump said yesterday, he can say "I didn't say that".

But, by all means, go and throw a fit y'all...

As a negotiator, you don't start off making demands because then you have to negotiate down. You let your opposition make their demands then you negotiate UP...........

I'm with you two.

Trump knows what he is doing. He is negotiating.
He appears flexible, willing to listen, even willing to change his mind.
That's the way good negotiators have to appear. Otherwise, the other side freezes solid and refuses to concede an inch.
Give the guy a break...he knows what he's doing.
In the end, this will be winning.

Exactly! You'd think the snowflakes among us would have learned this by now.

“Restrict DACA amnesty to only those currently enrolled who speak English and have no criminal record of any kind.” If it involves illegal immigrants, then there’s no such thing as not having a criminal record. Illegal=not legal. No DACA, and no to placing ANY illegal immigrants on welfare!

Yep.

You would think that all Freepers would be well along on this trail.

But some are still stumbling along on this whiny script that Trump is going to appease the Left.

Thanks you for your service, Marine.

Job well done.

..."That is exactly what I heard him say in defining a *clean bill*. It must have a wall, end to chain migration and the visa lottery."

I heard it that way too, and often. It's understood, in his mind, and mine.

I would hope for more, but would be satisfied with letting those brought in as "children" remain in exchange for this deal. In this go-round, I caution against expecting for more.

Oldest salesman tactic in the book.

“What would it take to get you in that car today?”

Put all kinds of superlatives out there to get negotiations started.

Gung Fu.... Do the Math....

There came a time, long ago, when I had mastered every known gung fu style known to man. Or so I thought.

I beseeched my master for more knowledge. After years of cajoling and foot rubs, he relented. He spoke to me in hushed tones of an ancient style which was most ultimate and dangerous.

It was known as the Donald style. He was one of only a handful of masters who had ever perfected the style and the only one still living.

Due to my mastery, he deigned to teach me.

After long months of training, I discovered that I could not comprehend the style. It was beyond my ken. And that is why I am merely a master of ALMOST every gung fu style. There is a gap in my knowledge and it's name is the Donald style of gung fu.

And that is why my North Shao Lin name is Gung Fu Perfection Minus One.

Simple math, really.
