(16,789 posts)He lives by the polls, he will die by the polls. As they sink lower, the Republicans will start to abandon him as the 2020 election season grows closer.
It was Chuck Todd who said when the Alabama Senate race was happening...."In a state Trump won in 2016, if he is not polling above 50%, a Republican is in trouble." Turned out to be true.

The "negotiations" are a smokescreen

(10,533 posts)It is also the Republican Party showing that they do not recognize the legitimacy of Democratic wins or the right of Democrats to share in governance. Our republic is on very dangerous ground.

(62,447 posts)Repugs - including McConnell shut the government down before the Dems had a chance to get in place. All set up to make it look like it was Pelosi's fault they thought.
Well you can fool some of the people, but good luck making Nancy Pelosi look like a fool.

(11,273 posts)the giveaway is that "the wall" is such a ridiculous reason on its face. obviously any excuse will/would do.
The other giveaway is that the only bills McTurtle is letting through are ones that are loaded with poison pills. In other words, they are trying to make it impossible to responsibly re-open government.
This is it. Our way of life is going down, because there is nothing to stop them.
Russia is the beneficiary.

(53,410 posts)tantrums, hold their breathism, pouting, screaming, kicking, crying and toy abusing. It hardly even registers, much less fazes them while they simply discipline the behavior.

Notice how the Con is projecting yet again - this time about Pelosi dominating Schumer. Pelvis has humiliated him publicly and it's unbearable.

(10,207 posts)Little short Putin is really happy with the shut down. So, if there ever comes a chance for Traitor Trump to do it again he will do it again and again and again and again. To give into building a Russian made steel wall along our Southern border is to give in every time Putin wants our government shut down.

(629 posts)What else is Trump doing? The wall is a smoke screen. People not getting paid for work is business as usual for Trump. What is Trump doing now to line his pockets that he is causing all this BS? He does nothing that doesn't benefit him personally. He would drown his own children on TV if he got the ratings.

(19,114 posts)He's a terrible poker player. Nancy knew exactly how much the SOTU means to him where he gets to read a prepared speech and look like a civilized human being for a couple hours. It's probably the 1 even he most looks forward to. If he were smart, when she suggested delaying it, he could have played along and put the ball back in her court issuing a statement like, "Nancy has a point, maybe it should be delayed, but let me do something, let me make the speech a plea for both sides to work together, blah blah blah..." He could have easily played it so either he got his speech, or if he didn't he could have played it like he agrees not to give it. Now he looks weak because he is weak.
