Well for not being "all there" she just punked Trump, quite easily too.  It won't be the last time either.  She came out stronger than ever, he's limping back to the sidelines.  In 3 weeks she'll finish him off or make him kiss the ring.

This is what is scary in America...people like you see it as simple as what politician won or lost. The general public and federal workers got punked thinking Pelosi is for "the people". Right. Also, to not even step foot on the field of play and take what would have been DHS funding of $5.7B for mixed methods of border security and trade that for $50 billion in shutdown costs (lower estimate). Ridiculous. What about the SOTU? What's the plan in 2 1/2 weeks? Both sides failed to do their job.

All Pelosi and the Dems did was reinforce the President ability and/or necessity to claim a National Emergency to get border security taken care of. In other words, there was always going to be some form of obstruction and no doubt lawsuits when he put forth the order. This is why he did not go straight to playing the National Emergency card. Now he can offer the most liberal of courts several solid reasons and show step by step in the process where Congress failed in their role for enabling said security. Justification if you will. Pelosi is now pigeonholed and must negotiate from a lower standing. So who really got played, punked, outwitted, or whatever term you want to use?
