And yet, it didn't happen in the two years his party had control of the government.

My point was that the wall is really about winning points with his base and with Fox News talking heads.

Once you accept that, he isn't going to match dollar for dollar on Dem projects or something lol.

Because the second something like that was reported, Ann Coulter or whoever would pop off on him and he'd back down.

Jon, you're being willfully naive. Trump has already backed out of deals where he would have "given up" less than you are proposing.

It just isn't going to happen.


I worry about the optics for Dems, but then again if they cave, people will say they never fight.


The other thing is that a President can't shut down the government to get something he or she wants. That isn't how this is supposed to work.

Dems cave and next year he shuts it down for Space Force or some other shit.
