They view him as a devil they must defeat at all costs.


L ots of people are wondering just why Democrats rejected President Trump’s plan to reopen government agencies even before he announced the plan. House speaker Nancy Pelosi called it a “non-starter,” and Senate Democratic whip Dick Durbin rejected it even though, as the Daily Caller noted, Trump’s proposal to protect immigrant “Dreamers” from being deported “included everything” that Durbin had asked for “just over two years ago.”

The Washington Post editorial page, normally one of Trump’s harshest critics, was puzzled by the Democratic intransigence:

    To refuse even to talk until the government reopens does no favors to sidelined federal workers and contractors. . . . A measure of statesmanship for a member of Congress now is the ability to accept some disappointments, and shrug off the inevitable attacks from purists, if it means rescuing the lives of thousands of deserving people living among us.

Calling their bluff...
... is "not enough".

It doesn't solve the problem, which must be addressed by alternative means.

That means...
... declaring a national emergency, ordering troops and the Army Corps of Engineers to the border, amassing materiel, beginning construction, assembling a legal team to defend such actions in the courts and in the Congress, and then gettin' on with it.
