Not a concession ? Get real. Pelosi Won
You can agree with Trump on the need for a wall. But that does not matter at this stage.
What does matter is Pelsoi won the fight.
It would be politically stupid for her to cave in for no reason now. She won't. Nor does the Senate have any stomach for another government shutdown. It would be the third kick in the head.
In fact, a Congressional override of a budget approval is likely in order if Trump goes down that path. And that would be the end of it.
Emergency Declaration
If Trump sticks to his guns, he will make an emergency declaration. There will be a Congressional challenge, and it will get tied up in the courts.
My Constitutional lawyer friends in DC tell me they are confident Trump would lose. Bear in mind that "confident" and "sure thing" are two very different things.
My guess is Trump loses the battle. But then he can whine about the courts rather than Pelosi.
Two Years Wasted
Trump had two years to negotiate a good deal. He got nothing despite the fact that a year ago, Democrats agreed to fund the wall to the tuned of $20 billion dollars.
Yes, Trump turned down an offer of $20-$25 billion for wall funding in return for amnesty for long-standing dreamers. That was up for negotiation. Trump could have insisted as part of the deal the dreamers not have a criminal record. Democrats would likely have agreed to that condition.
Instead, Trump got nothing.
Totally Trump's Fault - TTF
This is totally Trump's fault. I propose TTF if you want to reduce that to three characters.
Trump is a pathetic negotiator. There is no other way of looking at this .
