So Obama used his 1st 2 years to pass ACA as he promised, what did Trump do?

He waited until he lost the House to try to make good on his Wall.

Bottom line: neither he nor the GOP really cares about the Wall or Immigration except as a political football.

Trump owns the shutdown, Pelosi and the Dems have zero reasons to make a deal.

If I were currently shutout, I'd be protesting outside of the nearest GOP office everyday.

His home, his office, his car, his pissing place, his spa, anywhere.

Just Hound the Turtle until he begs for mercy (and we won't - he needs to take responsibility for his stupidity for a month)

He wasn't paying attention and the GOP ran out the clock on his wall. Once he realized what was happening it was too late. The GOP played him by getting what they wanted (tax cuts and deregulation). They knew they had until 2019 to get this done. Even if they didn't lose the House, it was going to be a much smaller majority and much harder to move legislation through.
