Likely Mr Trump understands that if he caves, he’ll get shoved in a corner and ignored for the next 24 months.

This is about cheap labor and GOP Senators being bought and paid for by business interests that want open borders.

Do you believe the senators you mention, and the other senators who today are demeaning Trump, however slightly, over his insistence for border security, could be paid or persuaded to vote to convict if the Rat House impeaches?

"This is a painful thing to do to our party, but for the good of the country we have no other choice."

I applaud Trump for his action today, but he and the nation very well may be standing in a den of snakes.

No just stupid weak GOPERS thinking this will cause lots of blackamoors to vote Republican. This is really how dumb the Republicans are. This and some GOP senators wanting the media to show how ‘mature’ and ‘compassionate’ they are.

You have the clear authority under the constitution to cancel their Christmas and New Year’s recess and drag them all back to DC, by force if necessary, to keep working on this.

Yeah, the framers were clearly kidding about that co-equal BS.

Nothing but touchy-feely crap, and it's always the same ones. It's predictable.

833.33 per man woman and child in the US Costs my entire family of 6 about 2600 dollars in taxes just in funding illegal Aliens!

Nope...not happy about it at all. That 275 Billion is about 8 or 9 per cent of our 3.7 trillion of spending this year.

Every loser repub idiot senator who doesn’t show to vote for the wall funding should be exiled for the rest of their worthless lives. They despise the American Citizens. They despise Free America. Quislings...traitors.

If these GOPe’s are in disbelief, then they didn’t listen when Trump said it was the last time he would sign a bill without the funding in it during the last huge budget bill last year. Trump should call Congress back into session and keep them in session over Christmas until the work it out. It is about time they gave us something for the country — and time and a Christmas is a small thing when you consider what the military and some in ICE and the Border Patrol have given up.

Yup. They are pure scum. Domestic enemies.

There’s no such thing as ‘co-equal’ branches. Just liberal talking points like ‘separation of church and state’

Not surprised you would be repeating the lie.

The cowards in our legislature are again exposed. Nancy is going to have to sober up and start talking deal. The weasels in the senate are going to have to buck up and apply some discipline to their RINO’s.
