Seems so obvious to spend the 5 billion on the wall rather than waste the 10+ billion the Democrats want to waste on something else. Their 10 billion won’t solve any problems, but building the wall will need to be done sooner or later anyway, & I’m sure the cost of building it later would be more. If disagreement on this leads to a shutdown...so be it. It seems like a win-win for the American people & isn’t this the reason Trump was elected???

Ryan may have to interrupt his Netflix series and actually do something.

You left out the NeverTrumpers coming out of the woodwork too. Never play poker with a Billionaire.

He’s taking it right to the American people through Rush Limbaugh.

Haaaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaa. Indeed you are the winner. I wondered why Rush was making an issue of it.

Don’t you find this a little fun?

PS: Paul Ryan is from MY great state of Wisconsin. Barf alert and pox on him for bucking Trump every day. So glad to see he’s gone.

What is a continuing resolution?

A continuing resolution, or CR, is legislation in the form of a congressional joint resolution when a fiscal year is about to begin or has begun, to allow federal agencies and programs to continue to operate at current funding levels through a fiscal year.

A continuing resolution must be passed by both houses of Congress and SIGNED INTO LAW BY THE PRESIDENT!

I’m having a blast watching this.

Today Rush said he had a direct communication from POTUS saying there would be border wall funding or he was going to shut the whole thing down.

20 minutes later Ryan said they were adding a $5 billion addendum to the bill.

The loud mouth never-Trump brigade, who've spent time trying to mock, discredit and undermine Trump, did so to create uncertainty, doubt, and confusion and are only motivated to cultivate division among Trump supporters.

This is right out of the Democrat play book.

The same one's who now take credit for Trumps decision, alleging they're all big Trump supporters and if not for them, Trump would have rolled over!☺ You can't make this cheet up.

If he caves on this, Lynch pin issue of his campaign he's through, the country as it has existed since its founding is over, and President Trump knows it.

This is the hill, THE ONE ISSUE you stand on and fight for no matter what the cost, or it's over.

Looks like he checked, they checked and then he raised with an all in. After all, he holds the power to sign or veto the bill.
