Irrelevant since this is an issue of national security not a local issue.The shutdown was necessary to bring the debate about the border fence front and center and the 20 day reprieve was necessary to make the point there is no other way to build the fence but a declaration of national emergency if the Democrats continue to stonewall negotiations. Polls show that nearly 90% of Republican voters support building the fence, so just as some Republicans in Congress from purple states and districts had begun to waver on their commitment to sustain the the shutdown because of opposition from Democratic voters they would have to court in the next election, they will be wary of alienating Republicans who strongly support the fence. The best political solution for these Republicans is for the President to build the fence under a declaration of national emergency, so they can't be blamed by either side.If it was sustainable he would not have opened the government. That move proves my point.TDS is not exclusive to leftists.Now they're getting silly.

Trump caved. It is what it is. He is not a dictator.
I said from the beginning that not paying federal workers was bullshit and a terrible tactic.
Did you write Nancy about that?
Trump painted himself into an unsustainable position with that move.
Nonsense. The Democrats will continue to play their games. Watch what he does on the 15th. He clearly stated his intent.
If he folds then, you'll have a case.
Can you post whether or not the 9 republic congressmen whose districts are on the border want the wall?
