Trump should adjourn Congress until after the next election.
Nothing is going to get done anyway.
“Overall, 58% of the public opposes expanding the wall along the border with Mexico”
I don’t believe 58% oppose.
Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument. If one fails to establish the premise to his argument, one almost always fails to convince others of his conclusion. On the other hand, if one establishes a premise one will more than likely get others to agree with his conclusion.
Axios and Pew. No bias there. Nope.
If the reporter we’re honest which he is not he would find out and know that the wall represents the end to any and all honest elections in the future because of the numbers of illegal aliens which would be voting Democrat registered Democrat get driver’s licenses and free stuff.
A whole lotta good can come from this.
This is the hill to die on, no?
Stay the course Mr. President, and know there are tens of millions that support you 1000%.
What are the numbers among registered voters/likely voters? Probably more in favor of the wall.
Pew is leftist propaganda, so the Trump team’s internal polling is probably better.
Same polls said hillary was winning by a landslide.
I doubt this, and it depends upon how the survey was worded and who responded. I read one poll last week that said over 70% support the wall. Clearly, something is amiss.
Ridiculous. The majority of the people may not care, but there is no decent reason for anyone to "oppose the wall". The Democrat leadership has reasons -- cheap labor, sex trafficking, additional new voters who want government benefits. Democrat politicians can profit from open borders.
But the majority the public? How on earth do they profit from an open border? The open border is all negative for the man on the street. He may not care about the wall. He may support the wall. But oppose the wall??? That's something only SJW do -- and they are not the majority of the public.
The shutdown ends because it is the democrats peo0le and agenda that gets hurt the most by the shutdown.... A no brainer really.
It will end, and it’s not a shutdown. It’s a partial freeze on funding.
Never believe with any certainty any facts a RAT obtains to describe you.
Trump should pivot and make this about downsizing government.
Ax those that haven’t been to work in 30 days, anyone hired by Obama, and anyone not loyal to Trump’s agenda.
Just massive downsizing will give us more than enough money for the wall and win millions of votes.
Polls are b.s. political spin these days. Trump won in the only poll that mattered - the election.
If 58% of Americans really don’t approve of building a wall to protect our country from illegal aliens this country is done.
When you have as prominent a Dem as Cher shouting to fund the Wall, it is ridiculous to pretend that Dem support is nearly nothing. I read a comment on my former home in California’s community website that said Trump should negotiate by offering to help the Dreamers. I’m thinking ‘these people are not getting full news, must be watching the Lamestream Media’. I suspect it is a majority of Dems that want some sort of barrier, but the ‘news’ would NEVER report that.
It seems they are on a mission to spawn one liberal news website after another to create a liberal echo chamber.

The Democrats set this trap.
They not been able to separate President Trump from his base (and if they can not separate him from the base they cannot impeach nor will they be able to beat him in the next election).
So they set it up to be a “read my lips” situation to force the President to go back on one of his major campaign promises. Border security and a wall.
This has always worked for them in the past. But it is not working now. The reason, President Trump owed no one but the American people that voted for him anything.
Not the GOP
Not Big business
Not the media
They have no leverage over him.
And contrary to the opinion of this article, the shutdown will not go on forever. Pressure is building but it is the Democrats that will cave first and they are the ones that will pay the political price.
The joy comes from knowing they did it to themselves.
POLITICO/Morning Consult poll shows. Fully 44 percent of voters support construction of a border wall, slightly fewer than the 47 percent who oppose it.
Slightly different numbers here.
