Democrats shaken by the Trump-fueled fight
Washington Times, Dec 14, 2018, Cheryl K. Chumley

And that’s the beauty of this president. He can turn lemonade into liquid gold, in the blink of an eye.

In case you missed it: Schumer, in a widely reported White House sit-down with Trump and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, tried to pin negativity all over the president’s chest by claiming, in his best outraged voice, By gosh, Mr. President, you want to shut down the government if you don’t get your border funding way! And Trump, instead of ducking and dodging in fear, twisted and turned and said, essentially, Dang right I do.

Trump then went on to make the case that he felt so strongly about protecting the American people from enemies, both foreign and domestic, who would use the border for nefarious means, that he would even shut down the government to make Democrats listen — to force Democrats to protect the people, too.
 
“The moment was a little reminiscent of the climactic scene in ‘A Few Good Men,’ when Tom Cruise’s character elicits an incriminating answer from Jack Nicholson’s Marine colonel,” The New York Times wrote.  Yes, it was. The moment was also reminiscent of a deer in headlights, as a wide-eyed Pelosi tried to make the case for the cameras to leave the room.

And the reminiscing went on when Sanders later took to Fox News to say: “The president is committed to making sure that one way or the other, whether it is through Congress or other measures, we protect our borders. … Frankly, it’s just sad the Democrats have changed their positions so much. If you look, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, [Joe] Biden, [Barack] Obama, all of these individuals in the past have supported border security. In fact, Chuck Schumer even said in a public statement that illegal immigration is wrong.”

D’oh. There is that.

There is this, too — call it the Sanders Finish: “Democrats,” she went on, to Fox News host Martha MacCallum “have to decide if they love our country more than they hate this president and so far we have seen no indication that they are willing to do that.”

Poor, poor Democrats.

We should have more of these types of face to face debates between our "esteemed" leaders.  Hearing the empty "my honorable friend" bs from senators and congress critters babbling in congress is quite boring.
