Trump Caves

Trump didn't cave, he played it well.
.
Trump got the Dems to agree to form a committee to establish what is necessary to protect the border and on that committee will be qualified people that will insist the wall is necessary. So, now if the Dems do not follow the expert’s advice their true motive of not really wanting to protect the border will be exposed and Trump will be justified to use emergency measures.

In the meantime, Trump has shown that he is humble enough to bend to the Dems stubbornness of not negotiating with the shutdown in progress, he’s gotten the workers paid and showed that he cares with that gesture, he let Dems look childish for canceling the SOTU and did so without backlash and whether or not the Dems agree to the funding after 3 weeks Trump will get his wall in the end like he said he would despite their every effort to obstruct.

Again, nice spin!

You shut down the government and then reopened it without any result. The only result so far is damage to the country. We are exactly where we were before the shutdown. Which means the country suffered for no reason. Even if the wall goes off with the nuclear option, others will wonder what the point of this shutdown was. You can’t walk this part back now.

So you are saying that people are supposed to come before campaign promises? :Wink

The only problem I have with that is thats what Reagan did back in the '80's - those illegals here can stay- but no more.
and how did that turn out?
The law was never enforced. Democrats took it to court and stopped enforcement.

no, the country suffered because no one would relent.

president Trump did the honorable thing and ended the fiasco.

round 2 ends in 3 weeks, then round 3 to the courts.

One good thing coming out of this insanity is that we know we have to END the SHUTDOWN of the government for ANY reason. We are about 22 trillion in arrears, a few million, billion in a temporary slush fund for maintaining the government makes sense that's probably why the two major clueless political parties never thought of it.

And who started it in the first place?

Does that mean you are not going to answer... or you can’t answer?

It means ICE had nothing to do with it. But in his ignorance, he made what he thought was a cute comeback.. Massive fail. ERGO ...Ignorance on display.

No pertinent question was asked. Therefore no answer can be given.

You do know that you are assuming something that wasn’t there, right? Thus the ignorance is totally on you, not me.

ICE didn't even exist then. Such ignorance is frustrating to deal with. So, I'm done. Now you can make another cutesy nonsensical remark that I will ignore.

Maybe to you. But much of Trumps bluster was derived by pushing wimpish Paul Ryan around. That character isn’t around any more.
I agree about Paul Ryan.

Remember I was a JFK Democrat, presently a States Rights Pro-Life Libertarian.

Yes I voted for Trump rather than Hillary.
