The illegal alien inundation is the only issue that matters.
If we lose the country, none of the rest matter.
Trump sells out and Kills the ICE beds program and massive catch and release will send thousands of fresh Dem illegal voters to red states .
Its probably over .
Caving to the SCAM by the Open borders express lead by Shelby .
The guy gets terrible advice by Open borders clowns like Grahnesty and the Mulvaney .
This is Trumps ‘ Read my Lips moment ‘ .
I can’t believe he Caved a second time and he made the situation worse .
The President has also said firmly and repeatedly that he will not accept any reduction in ICE detention beds …. because it releases criminals into America.
Trump WH aliases sends out clowns like Hannity to spin the Cave .
Ye all of little faith.
This looks like a very lame caving deal. DO NOT SIGN THIS. It’s a pathetic deal.
Due to the limits on the number of people ICE can keep in housing, I wonder if it is better not to accept this deal, sign off on a CR that had no such limits and then try funding the wall etc. using other DoD funding including National Emergency funds.
I think signing off on this current deal would not make his base happy at all.
Anyway, that is just my thoughts on all this.
The GOP is the greatest conn going..
Trump should sign it and then use execituve orders like Obama...the GOP is a waste of time..
Do the electoral college math.
Trump is going to loose AZ and more than a few States in the Midwest.
All because of Paul Ryan and McConnel blocked the wall and the FISA investigation.
I was one of the first FR to say Trump was going to win.
Right now, not so much.
You are right .
Do not sign off on a scam that kills the ICE beds for nothing and sends a tidal wave of illegals our way .
The Ice beds were not an issue in the first place .
The deal makes things Worse !
SO MUCH FOR THE ART OF THE DEAL NONSENSE.
this deal Stinks in every way .
“The illegal alien inundation is the only issue that matters.

I agree——and it was the main reason that I voted for Trump-—not taxes,not jobs,not infrastructure,it was the invasion. Period.

Trump already has a passed bill and signed law: The Secure Fence Act of 2006. Simply take what funding is needed out of relevant agencies to finance it. Let Congress sue itself to try and reverse its own passed bill.
If I had to choose who's most responsible for the ruin of our nation becoming irreversible, it's from this list: Paul Ryan, John Roberts, John McCain/Jeff Flake/Romney. There are no dems on the list. Why? The dems weren't elected to save the nation!
It is great to be confident and optimistic. He will have many advantages from a successful first term that he did not have running the first term. But failing to deliver on his signature promise would turn off some
voters. You say that Republicans are not single issue voters. Yet the chances of a pro-abortion Republican getting elected would be about zero. Even a modest percentage of “his” voters staying home could very easily tank his chances. He won’t take that chance which is why I do so see him going the emergency declaration route and/or having the Army build it.
Trump was playing games and now makes it worse . Trump is caving for no reason and passing a bill that makes the invasion worse .
He is cutting future Ice beds fir more Dem voters . He is creating a law to cut beds fir invaders and putting catch and release on steroids . The deal so bad you would think Bush created it.
“President Trump must know that he is unlikely to be re-elected if the Wall is not built or in the process of some serious, extensive construction at the time he is running for re-election.”
How do you figure? In 2020, President Trump will be judged on various things by various voter blocks. A huge percentage of Republicans (upwards of 90%) will vote for him simply because he is not the Democrat. Virtually all of the rest of the Republicans, a majority of Independents, and some Democrat crossover voters will vote for him if he has A) not embarrassed them, B) kept a bunch of promises, and C) made a good effort to fight for issues they care about.
There may be some single issue voters whose single issue is the wall, and who will think he didn’t try hard enough, but not enough to matter.
Incumbent Presidents are rarely deprived of a second term. There was Jimmy Carter - but he sucked and was running against The Gipper. There was George Bush Sr., but he had to split the pro-business vote with Ross Perot who ran the most successful 3rd party challenge ever. All Clinton needed was a 36% plurality to win. Lyndon Johnson might have lost his bid for re-election had he run, but we’ll never know.
To look at it another way, just look at some of the retards that easily won re-election despite epic failures - Rapist-in-Chief Clinton, Jug Ears Obozo - to name a few.
President Trump is a shoe-in, wall or no wall.
Besides, if a wall doesn’t get built, why on earth would voters blame President Trump of all people? He’s the only one even trying!
George HW Bush and George W Bush belong on that list.
Yeah I get what you are saying. Especially your last sentence. Let us hope the Wall is built this term so neither theory gets put to the test.
My list is about those who were in power when voters voted for Republican majorities and President. They were supposed to reverse things in those first two years of President Trump's term. Instead, they heeded the call of their true masters.
