52O Report post Posted July 29, 2018 Why would we have to vote on Mexico paying for his wall so weird 2 2 heyitsmeallen, Btowner, begooode, and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Btowner Report post Posted July 29, 2018 He still acts like he's negotiating with cash strapped mom and pop contractors. Start out with some ridiculous position and then force them to negotiate. The mid-terms weakens his hands. I don't see Republicans going along with a shutdown. Dems should just replay his speeches and crowds shouting, Mexico will pay for the wall. 1 Starkiller reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OILERMAN Report post Posted July 29, 2018 His approval rating is tanking in states with independants and this won't help at all. He's trying to hang on to the base, they had him at hello 1 heyitsmeallen reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heyitsmeallen Report post Posted July 29, 2018 Go ahead and shut it down. Democrats aren’t going to vote to pay for a wall that Mexico is supposed to pay for. Republicans shouldn’t need the Dems support anyway. They control Congress. 2 Omar, and Btowner reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ben4titans Report post Posted July 30, 2018 Immigration is by far the #1 priority of the American people. Trump knows this, and knows the Dems, who have gone far Left, are stuck between a rock and a hard place on this issue. Shutting the govt down to get tougher immigration laws and a border wall will be a huge win for Trump. Do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starkiller Report post Posted December 11, 2018 It’s that time of the year again folks. Trump is threatening a government shutdown again if he doesn’t get his wall. Its just talk at this point but eventually I think he is going to cause a shutdown to try to create a political wedge issue. 1 reo reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the Democrats or DNC are smart, every time he threatens a shutdown, they should be on every TV show and take out ads where he claims Mexico would pay for it. In fact, they should show his rallies where the crowd was shouting, “and Mexico will pay for it!” Edited December 11, 2018 by Btowner 6 1 CreepingDeath, Justafan, Starkiller, and 4 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

begooode Report post Posted December 11, 2018 He doesn't care!! His followers don't care!! All they know is they have been told by the echo-chamber and some relevant facts that the wall will make them safer and protect the American way of life. 25bil is pennies to them at this point and there is no rationalizing or fact checking sufficient to overcome this perception. 3 reo, OILERMAN, and Justafan reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ctm Report post Posted December 11, 2018 Just saw a video of Individual 1 telling Schumer and Pelosi that he would shut down the government if he didn't get his wall. He literally said that. Now he owns it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ctm Report post Posted December 11, 2018 Senate democrats voted for and passed an immigration bill in 2013 with 25B for border security. House republicans refused to bring the bill to the floor for a vote. Facts don't matter to this bunch. 4 Omar, reo, Starkiller, and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
