He only has one real out that is grounded in reality.

 

  Get as much money as he can in the 3 week negotiations for fence repair and other border security measures.  Paint this as a win and call it a down payment with more money to come.  Then admit the obvious---the votes just aren't there in congress for the wall, even with some republicans.  We'll have to settle this in the next election.

 

 

That won't be good enough.  He promised the wall.  He didn't promise to try.

Sox you can scream and rant and rave and lose your mind over "libs" and "demons" all day long, but many Americans, well more than 50%, and plenty who are not liberal at all, do not trust this presiden

lol if I am reading this right, it is the EXACT SAME FUCKING DEAL (other than maybe length of time?) that Democrats and Republicans - and President Dipshit, initially - agreed to in December. You know

Breaking News!!!                 Putin is suing Nancy Pelosi for sole custody of President Trump.

Maybe he can just apologize for being a complete prick his entire adult life and a terrible president, only looking out for himself and not for the people he's supposed to be looking out for, he understands if people are upset with him and he will do the best that he can the rest of the time he's in office.  And he will stop making boastful tweets and just concentrate on making the country better.

Politically he should have gradually moved to the center of the political spectrum from day 1 and tried to broaden his appeal.  But he couldn't because he was boxed in by the Mueller investigation and risk of losing his base.

The thing is is he had a layup once he was elected to getting a high approval rating.  Just keep your mouth shut, continue living off of Obama's success and he'd be golden and probably a near lock to be re-elected.

 

Of course the Mueller investigation was always going to be a problem.  But he could have handled that differently too.

Trump is the master negotiator.

 

He understands that both sides have to come away with a win for a deal to go through.

 

Trump was not going to punish the government workers like the left was willing to do. Hence he reopened the government.

 

Te Left can claim that they did not cave on the budget. However, Trump is going to get the wall and the left knows that.

 

Trump opened the government and will declare a National Emergency to get his wall funding and there is nothing that the left can do to stop it. The courts are not going to be able to stop it.

If Trump could get his wall funding with the National Emergency, WHY THE HELL HASN'T HE ALREADY DONE IT?

If that's his planned route he should have done that already.  In fact he should have done that instead of the shutdown.  What he did yesterday likely set him back in the eyes of his base and what he's done the past 35 days likely ended any hope of getting support from anyone not in his base.

Disagree. This route makes him the victim, which is his MO.

See, they just want a dictator.
