I guessing the Democrats would love Donald to shut down the government again. However, I really think the Republicans will move heaven and earth to prevent that.

I see that the Trump campaign has stated using "finish the wall" as their new slogan. I assume some of the base will actually believe that he's been building it.

I think Donald will sign this deal. He doesn't have many options. He will try and take money from other programs via presidential initiative (not citing a national emergency; that sets a scary precedent). Somewhere B. Obama is smiling. All those Trump tweets about Obama going around Congress and all those "small government conservatives" pretending to care.

What a deal-maker!

Nope, I can't type either.   You would think you'd want to support your statement with a link if starting a thread, but then again, why change how you typically post. Whine, whine, Trumps evil, Donald dumb, base sucks, you all are suckers...etc.

This deal is dead. Another CR will be signed to avert shutdown and neither party gets anything but another black eye. Whether you choose to believe it or not, there are a few options that the POTUS has to address the segments that require fortification that you choose to ignore. There is no reason for Trump to sign anything away at this point. 

FYI, construction of barriers has been ongoing. California has been getting shiny new barriers for months and just got cleared for another 14 miles (All media releases here: https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom). This new funding request is for the next round of contracts and continuance.

Boy, you are one true believer. I hope you're wearing your MAGA hat while typing.

The deal is dead? Another CR would just be for the details to be put in writing and give Congress time to vote on it and for Donald to sign it. I think the Republicans 
have made it clear that they don't want to look like fools again with another shutdown, so I'm pretty sure he'll sign. But don't worry - he'll tweet some reassuring words to his base. I'm just curious how he'll deal with the real people he answers to -  Hannity and Coulter. Should be interesting.

I'm also curious how much push back he'll get from Republicans if he tries to shift money around from other programs. Many Reps. want money for programs they support in their districts/states. Perhaps the Republican Party will find their backbone. 

Be sure to tune in to the next episode of As The Wall Turns.
