Trump lost, huge. And in this instance his loss is also the country's loss.The man who was going to drain the swamp was instead overcome by it. People can disagree about who defeated him - Pelosi, gutless Congressional Republicans, the six R Senators, the media, etc. But whoever defeated him, he was defeated on his signature issue.Naive faith that he has a plan, he knows how to build walls, he never quits, is simply whistling past the graveyard by those who can't admit that they backed a losing horse who loudly proclaimed himself a winner.Exactly what leverage does Trump now have to get the wall built? Yes he could make bellicose statements that he'll let the government close down in February and *keep* it closed down. But what would make the Democrats, the gutless Congressional Republicans, or the media operate any differently next time? Why would there be a different outcome?He can still declare a national emergency, and I hope he will. But we all know that would immediately be stayed by a Federal Court. The time required for that question to work through the Federal Judiciary will occupy the remainder of his term, and there is no guarantee the Roberts-led USSC would rule in Trump's favor.Yes, he is better than a Democrat president. Yes, he has put two Constitutionalists on the USSC. Yes, he has taken a clear position against regulation. Yes, the market boomed after his election. But his signature issue, the reason he ran, was The Wall and he lost it. It is now proven empirically that he is not capable of doing what he said, and what many believed, he could do.If he runs again I'll most likely vote for him, but my bet is that his administration is essentially finished.
Big surprise you would be following a Rat piece of shit and a Hitlary worker on Twit.....Adam ParkhomenkoDescriptionAdam Parkhomenko is a Democratic political strategist and organizer who served as National Field Director for the Democratic National Committee in 2016.
They'll probably have a special about it on The Gorilla Channel.
*Someone had to step up and be the bigger person..Trump did*....RNC's response......lmao...sure whatever..btw it's not called the wall anymore..it's a barrier..
Soon to be 'BEADED Barrier', after the Bipartisan Committee Report.
Texit.
I am not following him, just showing how the left is taking this. Trump gave them a win.
How else could you understand this? @XenaLee
Did any of you honestly think anyone was going to force Nancy Pelosi to cave on this? If so, how did you think he was going to do it?
Why can't you see that your post is nothing but a death wish @HoustonSam ????Trump hasn't handled this issue exactly as you wanted so you decide to cave to the dark side?And I mean dark, beyond anything you can imagine.
Nope....said from the beginning he wouldn't win this...Pelosi would never cave..
Because it's not a wish at all @Emjay, it's a reasoned conclusion. I certainly don't enjoy reaching this conclusion, and my reasoning might be flawed. But it's not a death wish because it's not a wish.
You may not call it a wish @HoustonSam but it is a sorry caving to the left. And that is a death wish.
If he runs again I'll most likely vote for him, but my bet is that his administration is essentially finished.
There is no way to win on any issue as long as this tactic is out there. Especially with so many poltroons in our own party.Someone had better find a way to deal with it or we will lose what slender chance this country still has.
That's my bit.
I suspect Romney was the lead backstabber.
