“There is an outside chance we could get to 59 or 60 (Senators) if there’s a big red wave. If that happens the wall will be built before 2020.”
If Republicans keep control of the House and get 60 Senate seats, I would expect full funding for the wall in the next budget - Something like $10 billion up front for barrier/infrastructure, and big plus ups to the ten year baseline for personnel and technology.
If the Dems take the House, they will kill wall funding in the womb.
A lot rides on how this midterm election turns out.
I love your optimism, and I share it!
