Wow: Vanity Fair Wonders If Dems Will ‘Lose the Government Shutdown’
Newsbusters ^ | January 22, 2018 | P.J. Gladnick

Perhaps it is time to award Vanity Fair contributor T.A. Frank a kewpie doll for experiencing a brief moment of mental clarity.

Although his January 21 column takes the requisite liberal shots at President Donald Trump and Republicans over the current government shutdown, when you get past that and dig into his details it amazingly suggests that Trump was correct in holding firm on the DACA conditions he clearly set forth which must be met for any negotiations to go forward on that issue. Frank's begins with his recognition that despite the obfuscation by the Democrats and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, DACA is indeed the reason for the shutdown in WILL DEMOCRATS LOSE THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN?

Yeah, screwing American CITIZENS to keep non-citizen voters is clearly a loser.

Just like the 2016 election, they had it lost before it started, and didn’t even know it... same is true of this shutdown.

Choosing illegal aliens over US Citizens is why you lost in 16, doubling down on it in 18, it doubly stupid.

But stupid is as stupid does.... they live in their bubbles and don’t have a clue what happens outside them.

They caved for the possibility that DACA would be debated. Not passed; but debated. They have nothing.

Trump has out-fought and out-thought every opponent he has faved since he was called into the political arena.

The man is a genius blessed with guts and a love for country few can rival. A pathetic dog like Chucky was never going to rival him

Democrats get their power from the manipulation of disparate factions of the electorate.

Sometimes they have divergent opinions and agendas.

This was one of those times.................
