Dems lay out plan for 2019: Trump won’t know what hit him … ‘Pelosi is going to play this very smart’BizPac Review, Dec 31, 2018, Frieda Powers
ABC News political analyst Matthew Dowd thinks President Donald Trump won’t “know what hit him†come January 3rd as Democrats step into leadership of the House.
The former chief strategist for the Bush-Cheney 2004 presidential campaign told fill-in host Martha Raddatz on ABC’s “This Week†on Sunday that he thinks the president is not prepared for what Democrats will be throwing at him, especially with incoming Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi at the helm.
Speaking of funding for wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and the partial government shutdown which is clearly headed into the new year, Dowd suggested that Trump would “set another record’ as the shutdown would surpass the last record of 21 days.
“Donald Trump’s already given up on the wall. He’s now talking about a fence with slats. He’s now given up on Mexico paying for it,†Dowd declared. “We’re going to set a record over 21 days.â€
“No, I don’t think he is prepared for it both emotionally and administratively in the White House,†Dowd responded.
“First of all, they have a new chief of staff coming in. They’ll have a new defense secretary coming in. They have acting secretaries in a number of places, and they don’t have an infrastructure in the White House that is going to deal with the amount of subpoenas, the amount of investigations,†he explained.
“I think Nancy Pelosi is going to play this very smart,†he added, referring to the current House Minority Leader who has already made it clear she will actively be leading her Democratic colleagues on an all-out attack on the Trump administration.
She’s going to pass a series of bills on public policy. She’s going to do something on guns. She is going to do something on trying to eliminate the shutdown. She’s going to pass a bunch of stuff, and she’ll let her people chair these committees,†Dowd said.
“I don’t think Donald Trump is going to know what hit him come January 3,†he concluded.
