This weekend on WHAS Radio, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said border wall funding would “probably” have to wait until after midterms.

Sunday President Donald Trump’s tweet threatening a government shutdown if a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border was not funded.

When asked if wall funding would have to wait until after the midterms, McConnell said, “Probably and that’s something we do have a disagreement on.”

When asked about a government shutdown McConnell said, “No, that’s not going to happen.”

McCon is hoping the Democrats take over the House and put an end to any Wall.

"Funding Fathers" was a typo. Obviously, the intention was "Founding Fathers."

To better understand the unique perspective of the Founders--the perspective that the Left seeks to undermine-- consider: America: Based On Experience & Reason.

Bush League Republicans think they can stall and wait out a four year term and get back to business as usual, importing cheap labor and betraying the citizens.

It's depressing but that may be true.

Thanks for the proper spelling, and the confirmation of what we all on the right smell across the fruited plain.

Trump is prepping to shut the government down and make the Democrats the bogey man that did it because they want ICE dissolved, MS13 in your local community and open borders and illegals voting. The GOP could win big but McWeasal and the Little Sh*t Ryan are a combination of cowards and truly are for open borders like their owners the Cock brothers demand. They are too stupid to win.

Turtles — like all reptiles — do not have external genitals. They have a cloaca — Latin for sewer — that does it all, including crapping and urination.

How many times over the last decade or two have we citizens united for the ultimate letter campaigns against republican amnesty version number eleventy billion. We literally had to melt the switch boards down before the retracted their bill and waited a year or two to reintroduce it when they hope nobody was paying attention. The entire GOP is not on our side and will literally stop at nothing to thwart the will of the people on this issue. They think they have us by the balls because they believe “what are they going to do, vote in democrats?”..which is true because we all know what happens if democrats get back in, and that is exactly nothing good. This is why we need to make sure every one of these traitors gets primaried to oblivion. These traitors are worse than democrats

I think the concept of “Wall Bonds” is fantastic! Do we need a law passed or can Trump do it independently?? Offer a great interest rate and make the denominations small. That way all of us conservatives can take advantage of it and laugh at the dems who will refuse to buy them.

"Then McConnell and Ryan should get ready for a veto, if Trump keeps the promises he has made on numerous occasions." Prediction: Trump vetos the budget bill, federal government shuts down, globalists/leftists/RINOs squeal that they don't have the votes to find the wall and that the shutdown is a national emergency - children and transvestites hit hardest, Trump agrees and then uses the military to lock down the border and then signs the budget, the military stays on the border and defends it like every other nation state has done for the entire history of earth.

Mcconnell has been excellent in that extremely important regard.

B$ He has let the Dems slow walk everyone of them, some more than others.

Hmmm, Trump or the turtle, who has the brass ones?

Which one has demonstrated that he means what he says?

Let's not forget that the turtle has paulrunyan on his six.

I think the past 18 months has been giving the GOP enough rope to hang themselves with the Republican base. Americans neededu to see the Republican Party betray them when they had ever every opportunity to fix the problem. Now that they’ve been exposed I think Trump can put his boot to their teeth.

Then make it to where only 51 are needed.

He doesn't have 51 either, for most of what we want.

I like the “boot to the teeth” idea too.
The GOP has had plenty of time to fund the wall.
Time is just about out for the GOP to deliver.
