Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Tired of all this Winning yet? Part I – The Democrats are starting to have second thoughts about their “all Trump hate, all the time” fake strategy for prevailing in this year’s mid-term elections. McClatchy News reports that, as the Rasmussen survey has the President’s approval rating hovering near 50%, the Democrats’ own internal polling has his standing now at 44%, up from 40% in November. Even worse for the Dems, their generic congressional polling has them now sitting with just a 46-42 advantage, less than half of their edge just a few months ago. The memo accompanying the polling stated “While still on track for a successful November, the extent of Democratic gains will be blunted if Democrats do not reengage more aggressively in speaking to the economic and health care priorities of voters.” Yeah, after 15 months of nothing but hating Trump, it’s doubtful most Democrats even know how to do that at this point. Nothing makes my day like the smell of Democrat panic in the morning. Smells like Winning.
Tired of all this Winning yet? Part II – The National Federation of Independent Businesses reports that expansionist sentiment among small business owners hit an all-time high in January. “One in five small companies said they plan to boost hiring…The new tax law “produced the most recent boost to small-business optimism,” NFIB’s William Dunkelberg and Holly Wade said in a report.” Guess this is more of those crumbs San Fran Nan keeps whining about.
Tired of all this Winning yet? Part III – Lunatic Marxist congressman Luis Gutierrez of Illinois told a rally of “dozens” of DACA advocates out in San Diego yesterday that he is planning on running for President! Talk about a gift wrapped in gold for Republicans – a Guiterrez candidacy would put the perfect face on the Democrat Party: snarling, unstable, hateful, incoherent and just not very bright in general. Let’s all wish the congressman well in his pursuit of the Party’s nomination in 2020.
In case you missed it, the Susan Rice CYA email to Susan Rice is creating several ripple effects. Last night’s Evening Campaign Update noted that one impact from the email is that it is raising the public profile of Sally Yates again, making her a central figure in the whole Deep State Cabal. But another bit of fallout is that the email indicates that James Comey lied to congress yet again, this time when he told a congressional committee on June 8, 2017 that he had only met privately with President Obama twice, and named the dates.
The Rice to Rice email says that Comey actually met privately with President Obama after the general January 5 meeting her email describes, which included Yates and Joe Biden, among others. January 5 was not one of the dates Comey rolled out to congress. So, either Rice is lying or Comey lied, and goodness knows, neither option would come as any surprise to anyone at this point.
If you are worried about the Republicans and President Trump getting cold feet over the next couple of weeks and surrendering on the DACA issue without getting other immigration reforms in return, well, stop it. It’s not going to happen.
The Democrats simply have zero political leverage in this situation – other than whatever leverage John McCain and Lindsey Graham surrender to them, of course – and really have no means of forcing a bad deal here. They don’t have the votes to get anything done, public opinion has tilted to the President’s side, and even many of the DACA “kids” (Average age: 26) have taken to advocating that the Democrats agree to a border wall and other major reforms in order to get the DACA fix.
President Trump remains very clear on this: He will veto any “clean” DACA bill that surrenders on the other immigration reforms he wants, which is what bills offered by McCain and Graham do. We should have all figured out by now that Mr. Trump does not make these public statements just to hear himself talk, like our previous White House occupant was fond of doing.
The President has repeatedly informed Chuck Schumer and his fake news media slaves that DACA will expire on March 5 without a comprehensive deal on immigration. Schumer, Pelosi and other Democrat “leaders,” such as they are, are in a panic over this, since they have never wanted to do a comprehensive immigration bill because they’ve always wanted to keep it alive as a campaign issue.
But that was in the days when public opinion was in their favor. With even the heavily-biased polling organizations showing public opinion having now shifted to President Trump’s favor, they now have no means of convincing weak-kneed RINOs – other than McCain and Graham, of course – to surrender and give them the “clean” DACA-only bill they want.
So, stop worrying, folks. The next couple of weeks will either deliver a package that includes a DACA fix, funding for a border wall and other enhanced security measures, heavy restrictions on chain migration and an end to the insane diversity lottery system, or there will be no bill at all, and DACA will indeed expire on March 5.
Because Donald Trump has shown even Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan that winning is better than unilateral surrender.
Just another day in Trump just keeps on winning America.
That is all.

Despite recent judicial activism?
They have never faced an adversary like Trump.
He has extreme intelligence, he has billions and cannot be bought off, he has a strong moral base and will not waver.
They don’t know what to do.
Call me nuts but I think God has placed him into the presidency.
Our last chance perhaps...
Call me nuts but I think God has placed him into the presidency.
I agree.
Despite recent judicial activism?
That is a clearly unconstitutional decision by a Clinton-appointed district court judge that will ultimately be overturned. The law itself is going to expire on March 5.
As time has gone on, I have also moved towards viewing the 2016 election outcome as a case of divine intervention, and I am not at all prone to such things.
‘He’s Not Going Anywhere!’ Why ‘Fireman Prophet’ Calls Trump Impeachment Attempts ‘Futile’
He lost the budget battle to Schumer.
Pelosi and Schumer are Tiananmen Tank Guy wannabes...they want to talk tough (to the cameras) and stop the Trump Tank Convoy by just standing in front of the line.
The trouble for them is, the Trump Tank Convoy is not going to stop for them. It’s not plowing them under, but just keeps moving, steady, strong, and purposeful.
If the do manage to stop it, or delay it, the convoy just backs up a few feet, and goes around them.
It’s like the “crane technique” (from Karate Kid)...”If done right, no can defend.”.
Trump won’t let them stop him.
Secondly, he doesn’t give them time to work up a campaign over any single issue, as he is on Twitter, and off on another project before they can even get half organized on the previous one. You know, the “3-D Chess” thing.
We’ve seen this technique when libs try and block highways en route to a Trump rally...those “good ol’ boys” just inch their 4-wheel drive monster trucks up to the blocking line and then...they keep on inching. Never running anyone down, but the goons trying to hold the line soon find out that they don’t have the power to stop the truck, even moving at a a crawl. The brute power is too much for them.
The way Trump looks at it is that he won the military funding Mattis has been pounding him about, and he can use executive discretion on much of the increased domestic spending. Win/win.
Hope you are right since asking DC not to spend budgeted money is like asking a fat kid not to eat all his Halloween candy.
This upcoming DACA expiration is favorable terrain for a showdown with the authority of the federal courts in general, and this p!ssant district court in particular.
Imagine President Trump let’s DACA die, and the case is heard on expedited basis before the scotus. I look forward to the logic of a district court order to the President to sign an executive order to continue Obama’s unconstitutional executive order.
It would appear Trump is ignoring the Communist judges.
“Call me nuts but I think God has placed him into the presidency.”
Amen.
Dem response: Well, it wasn't "private," since Susan Rice was there, too. /S
That is because the people are sick of pelosi and schumer and we are fighting back!

I agree as well. The morning of Election Day and before going to my polling station, I got down on my knees and prayed for 30 minutes praying for our country and a DJT victory. Although confident of a victory the night before, when done, I was more confident than ever and then thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the day and of course the evening.
“Call me nuts but I think God has placed him into the presidency.”
You’re not nuts. I happen to think it’s true.
Someone posted here about a month ago: “I think God had his finger on the scales for the 2016 election.”
I’ve been given over to a lot of prayer in the last couple of years, and I can’t get away (not that I want to) from the manifestations of it. I especially seek out St. Michael the Archangel the original butt-kicker. He still wields a righteous sword.

Dittos. I never prayed as hard before an election as I did before 2016 and I know I wasn't alone. His election against all odds was nothing short of miraculous. Trump may not be perfect, but he is the perfect man for the job, right here and right now. God knows who'll we'll get after him, but I'm thankful for all the good he's doing now, even in the face of fierce, even demonic, opposition.
God used a lot of imperfect men to work out His plan.
David, Moses, Jonah...and St. Paul (Saul) surely had a long rap sheet going on before conversion.
