    9.8 million more votes were cast for House Democrats than were cast for House Republicans in 2018. That is the single worst defeat for any party in any midterm.

    You are fully aware of the fact your metric is irrelevant - success/failure in midterm elections is not judged by total votes, but by the number of seats won/lost
    Thus, your statement is lie because you know both Clinton and Obama lost more house & senate seats in their first midterm than Trump.

    Please -- lie to us some more.

    All Trump has to do is hold the fort until it's time to pour out the counterattack.

    When Trump was signing anti-human trafficing bill and the Women’s Entrepreneurship and Economic Empowerment Act what was the news all about? Certainly not that.

    Propaganda works, the left wing biased media knows this.

    But their problem is this: it's no longer a three-gate corral.

    You still did not read the the article, did you?

    Support for Trump's wall amongst the GOP has increased and it has decreased amongst the Democrats. That overall number of individuals who oppose Trump's wall, according to Pew, is 58%. According to ABC, it is 54%.

    And its like I said.....up with Independents 11 pts. Then the rest of the Swing Voters. Up.....meaning more support and its continuing to rise.

    Oh and ABC/WAPO polls more leftists.

    Then wait until after this weekend. It will rise up more.

    The status quo sieve border policy and status quo immigration policy has been absolutely crazy for 60, 70 years. Shine forth the light on it and build the wall.

    Correct. That's why your statement is a strawman.

    Still working on the remodel so I am up to my ass in alligators but saw this so I thought I would post it. I found it extremely funny but I am kind of a political sadist.


    "President Trump on Thursday said he is canceling Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) planned international travel in response to her request to postpone the State of the Union address due to the government shutdown.

    In a letter to Pelosi, Trump told her a congressional delegation trip she intended to take to Brussels, Egypt and Afghanistan “has been postponed.”

    The president dismissed the trip as a “public relations event,” and said if she wants to go by flying commercial, “that would certainly be your prerogative.”

    “I also feel that, during this period, it would be better in Washington negotiating with me and joining the Strong Border Security movement to end the shutdown,” he wrote."


    https://thehill.com/homenews/admini...res-back-at-pelosi-cancels-her-foreign-travel

    Pelosi already sent the invitation for Trump to give the SOTU and has not retracted her invitation. She has made a suggestion. I suggest that Trump ignore her suggestion or hold it in the Senate. She only controls whether he gives in in the House. She doesn't control if or when he gives it.


    I also read that Pelosi said she doesn't care about what DHS said about their ability to provide security for the SOTU address.
    https://www.nationalreview.com/news...tradicts-claim-that-sotu-should-be-cancelled/



    I guess this is part of her "I reject your facts" tactics.

    "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen got into a tense confrontation this week, with the California Democrat interrupting Nielsen’s presentation on border security and illegal immigration, telling her “I reject your facts.”"

    Great example of TDS symptoms.

    Just stick your fingers in your ears and yell "la la la la" where someone says something that might trigger you

    Trump should deliver the SOTU via Skype From on board border patrol one flying along the border. He could even do a split screen and live stream some FLIR footage of people crossing.

    You should do some of your own research, because your wrong... again. Just sayin.

    Though Pelosi (D-Calif.) invited Trump to give the annual address on Jan. 29, she had not pushed through the legislation necessary to make it happen. It’s not unusual for the speaker to wait until a few days before the speech to file what’s called a “concurrent resolution” that sets the day and time of the traditional speech. The measure must be passed by both chambers.

    Edit:
    Maybe he should ask real nice.
