master negotiator right here. did this make it to the spicer briefing?
he's master of deflector. just give fox news some time to put out something so they can use that.I guarantee that Spicer will tout the government staying open as some big fucking win.
Fox News: "Obama had how many government shutdowns? Well Trump has had ZERO"

I can't help but think, had a Democratic president done something like this, threatened the healthcare of millions of people over a petty-ass infrastructure project that won't do anything to help anyone, the Republican messaging machine would have been glorious.
We'd see every Republican pundit and politician on every news media source possible, all shouting with the same unified message. Over and over again.
Commercials would be running in every state
The internet would be flooded with crappy memes.
There would be no sleeping at GOP headquarters until the Republican spin had been drilled into the head of every American man, woman and child.
But here we are with Republican President Trump, threatening to rob healthcare from millions and giving Democrats the sort of ammo that the greatest political strategists of years past could only dream of landing in their lap.
And...nothing.
I guess my piggyback to your question is why are repubs so good at energizing at mobilizing their base, and democrats aren't?
Why don't democrats vote
human trafficking now too? We need to get the wall up! gotta stop the bad bad people from coming in.
I'll think they will give him the inch but I don't expect anything radical in the budget like the cancellation of all the programs like AmeriCorps, and PBS. I actually expect it to be more or less the same because the republicans can't face the media if they shut the government down on themselves.

Canada has made business for our dairy farmers in Wisconsin and other border states very difficult. We will not stand for this. Watch!
Lmao, will he be saying Canada is paying for the wall next?

He wants to tax dairy and wood imports from Canada very heavily. 24% for wood, I think.

He'll blame Obama.He keeps attaching himself to this idiotic idea that will never even happen. What's he gonna say in 2020 when nothing has been built?

He's not bluffing, he's sitting naked at the table, throwing Uno cards at the other players.So the master negotiator basically jumps in, says 'Fund the wall or else!', everyone calls his bluff, so he offers a concession that he might be okay with just a security bump without a wall...which is what Democrats were willing to do before he stuck his fat ugly head in the negotiations...
I'm sure Trump will spin this as the art of the deal, the secret 'Accept the first thing they offer after they call your ludicrous bluff'.
Trump is discovering (though probably not learning) that you can't bluster your way through deals when you're negotiating with the same people every time.
The wall, explains Lindsey Graham, has become a "metaphor for border security," i.e. not a literal wall.
Motivating conservatives through simple minded fear is very effective.I guess my piggyback to your question is why are repubs so good at energizing at mobilizing their base, and democrats aren't?

How can a metaphorical wall get 10ft higher?

WaPo: New GOP spending plan includes *no new money* for border wall construction, according to several cong. aides.
But they took proposals from builders just a few weeks ago. Builders of physical walls not metaphorical ones. Is he wasting business' money and time with phantom projects?
"It's totally gonna happen. We're making tremendous progress. Things are happening. We're doing things. It's gonna happen soon"
Then it'll be part of his 2020 campaign after absolutely nothing happens for it in his first term.

Trump signing his latest executive order: Theres a lot of words. I wont bother reading everything.
What? Too many words? He is signing shit without reading it? What kind of President does something like this?
