No sooner had the Democrats taken back the majority in the House of Representatives than they proved their harshest critics correct – the party no longer concerns itself with the interests of the American people. And by refusing to provide a dime for a physical barrier on our border, they did it in the starkest terms possible.
Led by far-left Nancy Pelosi, who held off a challenge to her leadership from the even farther left, the House Democrats promptly put themselves in the position of being seen taking the side of foreigners entering the country illegally over the security and economic prosperity of American citizens. They reduced themselves to the absurd position that "walls don't work."
I'm not one who necessarily believes that President Trump is a master negotiator or is playing 3D chess. But whether by design or because of pressure from his restive base, he now has the winning hand to build his wall and go on to re-election in 2020.
What's important now is that Trump plays his winning hand and resists the growing calls from the opposition media and cheap-labor Republicans to compromise with Nancy and Chuck. Doing so would just throw them a lifeline. Instead, Trump should use the power granted presidents by Congress, declare a national emergency, and begin construction of the wall.
Sure, the Democrats and open-border zealots will run to the thoroughly discredited 9th Circuit and get an activist Obama judge to stand the law on its head and issue a bogus restraining order. But the president will be on solid legal footing, and that ruling will be overturned by the Supreme Court on the expedited basis that an emergency declaration demands.

Not so hard to do, but the lying GOP-e, the Democrats’ ideological brethren, are chiefly worried about how to play this (the fact that they lied about doing it but then turned around and refused to do it) to the voting base they lied to.
It appears more like it is the other way around.
How long can the swamp monsters hold their breath? Well we will find out. The rest of us can go a very long time without the government.
The so-called left are rapidly showing themselves to me more Alinsky aligned communists every day.
They’re going to ride this issue all the way to 2020.
Alinsky doesn’t mean what you evidently think it does. Trump successfully uses Alinsky’s techniques against the Left every day.
Don’t declare an emergeny - Lincoln took 4 years to get the resistant Democrats under heel - it’s not even hurting them yet.

Officially outta the closet.????????

Chuckie was all alone when he shutdown the Government, last year, over Illegal Aliens. Now He has Nancy to help him.
And the snow covers the streets of Washington, D.C.
Tone deaf? You betcha!
There is no doubt about it.
Democrats are losing this one - and the longer the government is shut down - the more they lose. Relax and enjoy the game.
Writer’s conclusion is bit of stretch based on polls.
GOP needs to be running ads depicted the problem. Scroll the names and pictures of the dead, raped and trafficked.
And for the true believers, show the vast amounts of waste dropped by the “migrants”. Maybe the environment is more important than the safety of Americans.
With the end tagline, it didn’t have to happen.
Really?
Please explain.
Any progress in the shutdown?
Where does the nation’s sympathy lie? With Trump or with the RATS?
I hope so.
I think Trump needs to win on this issue.
Not least because he is correct, and the opposition to a secure border is moronic at best, and treasonous at worst.
Where does the nation’s sympathy lie? With Trump or with the RATS?

Good questions. Are there any legit polls that make the case that the nation is against Trump?
