So... what we have here... is an old fashioned Mexican Standoff. Which begs the question...
which side will blink first.
Any bets?
I will bet a $50 donation to the GOP Briefing Room that what's going to happen is the following:
Trump declares a national emergency. The Rats find a leftist judge to issue an injunction. The Pubs in the Senate declare that the govt. should be reopened and the issue should be resolved in the courts. Trump ends the shut down and everyone declares victory.
Later of course after Trump loses in 2020 we realize the wall is never going to be built.
