    In this case it's the so called fans leading and the so called personality following. Trump is doing what we want not visa versa.

    Are you asking me to repeat what I just wrote?

    Have you read the transcripts from the meeting in the White House?

    Trump wants the wall

    If it takes a shutdown to do that so be it

    Democrats can avoid a shutdown by funding the wall

    Thats all there is to it

    They do get away with it! Steve Schmidt got a movie fo leading McCain off Buffalo Drop.

    “Around the time of that Game Change premiere, Politico's Maggie Haberman reported that Schmidts business partner, Brian Jones had written a memo ten days before the 2000 election about how best to shield Schmidt from blame for the campaign's inevitable loss. "A well-organized and coordinated effort is needed to defend Steve's good reputation," Jones wrote in the memo to two other associates, Adam Mendelsohn and Kirill Goncharenko. (Schmidt says he did not know about the memo.)" Mark Leibovich, This Town, Penguin Books, 2013, p. 288.

    Another one of Jagger's "Sweet Neo Cons" morphed into a neo Democrat for our viewing pleasure.

    Right. He wants to build it on our miserably country and take our miserable money to do it, and it will cost a hell of a lot more down the road and accomplish nothing in return.

    Did it ever occur to you that not every Republican voter was necessarily voting for Trump's grand monument to stupidity known as the wall?

    Its getting harder and harder for your side to take sides against America's best interest, isnt it? Hasnt stopped you, but still... its becoming obvious youd throw your country under the bus to oppose Trump.

    Or he just waited until most of the DP/RINO opposition were home for Christmas or on their way home before dragging them back.
    Timing is everything - for PR offensives and other "special purpose attacks". ;-)

    Trump has managed to put the RINOs right behind the 8 ball with Schumer and Pelosi - again.
    Now we all get to watch them wiggle for us for Christmas.

    Agreed.

    Watching Schumer squirm and fume when it became obvious he and Pelosi were clueless about the House and the votes was awesome.

    Now it's Schumer's Shutdown.

    Couldn't be sweeter. Talk about Sophie's Choice for such a hateful radical ideologue. Give Trump the funding, or own the shutdown.

    Break out the popcorn, the spin from the Left's media ministries is going to be epic.

    I have a feeling Mitch and crew are being bombarded with demands to pass this bill and he may just do what democrats did with Obamacare. If so it's a huge victory for America, for trump and for Republicans in general and will take the wind right out of Nancy's face lift sails.

    And Trump could refuse to sign off on any more spending until the end of 2019. Almost all of the government is apparently already funded for that long.

    A less than 20% freeze for a year should please every little loud DP/RP budget pincher.
    A bipartisan perfecto for Trump. ;-)

    Veteran politicians like Schumer and Pelosi seldom walk right into a perfectly staged ambush.
    They should fire their advisors, stop reading their MSM and beg Trump for mercy before this gets even worse for them.

    Certainly explains a couple things they kept mumbling when the President proved to the Nation Pelosi and Schumer abhor transparency.

    HOUSE SPEAKER-DESIGNATE PELOSI: Wait a second. Let’s call a halt to this.

    SENATE MINORITY LEADER SCHUMER: Yeah.

    ________

    HOUSE SPEAKER-DESIGNATE PELOSI: Let’s call a halt to this. We’ve come in here as the first branch of government: Article I, the legislative branch. We’re coming in, in good faith, to negotiate with you about how we can keep the government open.

    ________

    SENATE MINORITY LEADER SCHUMER: Let’s debate in private.

    HOUSE SPEAKER-DESIGNATE PELOSI: We have taken this conversation --

    ________

    HOUSE SPEAKER-DESIGNATE PELOSI: This is the most unfortunate thing. We came in here in good faith, and we are entering into this kind of a discussion in the public view.

    ____________

    HOUSE SPEAKER-DESIGNATE PELOSI: You will not win.

    _________

    HOUSE SPEAKER-DESIGNATE PELOSI: Mr. President, let me -- let me just say one thing. The fact is you do not have the votes in the House.

    _________

    I’m asking you why you think those transcripts say something other than Trump is owning the shutdown.

    I'm asking you to invest your own time reading the transcripts yourself, so I don't have to waste my time doing it for you.

    So you admit Trump wants the shutdown and is owning it. Thanks for clarifying.
