In a tactical retreat, you cut your losses and regroup. This is also a "tell" in poker.

When you control both houses of Congress and the White House, the whole idea of a tactical retreat should be laughable. The border wall was the centerpiece of Trump's candidacy and the reason many of us voted for him. It's early days and I still expect Trump to fulfill that promise despite the weak sisters of the GOP he must work with, but it's off to an embarrassingly bad start.

He hasn’t had much time to haggle, but please, seeing as you must know how DC works, give us your plan for how Trump should proceed...tell us what you would do to turn the Rinos in DC to vote for the wall and please be specific.

I agree with you. But that's why the expiration of the CR right at the end of fiscal year 2017 is perfect. This will separate the RINOs from the true Republicans who support Trump's agenda. Trump still has veto power. He will call out the cowardly Republicans who support CRs instead of a simple annual budget.

Putting the Republicans on notice in late September, when people are paying attention again to politics after the summer break and next-year candidates start preparing their runs, will make it harder on Paul Ryan and the RINOs.

"When you control both houses of Congress"

Just a thought. Both houses of Congress are not controlled. They are one entity controlled by the 'Uniparty'. There is really very little difference between the two parties.

The are certainly, neither one, in favor of Trump's policies, nor do they see eye to eye with him. There are not in business to MAGA. They are only in business to make themselves great. The Democrats and Republican Congresspersons are ONE.
