    34 days into the shutdown, has any journalist asked Trump yet why he didn't pursue this maximalist "Wall or Nothing" strategy when the GOP controlled both houses of Congress? You know, when he could've used the bully pulpit to compel fellow Republicans to enact his priorities?

        Why do people keep answering with this ridiculous claim? The 60 vote threshold is the same now as it was then.

        He was convinced to delay the first time, talked out of it once, forced into signing because Mattis said he needed the money.

        he intentionally waited for Dems to take over the house to do this. trump needed a foil, i'm convinced he wanted to lose the House just so he could have these kind of battles. you can't expose and crush the democrats if they have no power. Pelosi played right into trump's hands

        Great question. But that would distract from this annual "performance" by both parties to lay the ground work for future cuts to social programs .. in one of the wealthiest countries on the planet.

        Trump would have had an easier time trying for a grand bargain: populist issues wrt taxation, labor safety, F/I/RE regs, infrastructure, etc. while pushing for the Miller Plan. If they rejected this, then he could take the executive route (via Insurrection Act, SoE, or PL85-804).

        Why? It was clear, if misguided. They convinced him he needed to sign off to get military budget he wanted. He said then he wouldn't sign off again. And that's what he's following through on. Peobably knows now it was a mistake.

        You need 60 votes. You have posted this before and everyone always tells you that you need 60 votes in the senate and then you wait 2 weeks and post it again. Say 60 votes 7 times straight please.

        I really prefer food inspected by the FDA and national parks protected from people who value off-roading more than Joshua trees. There are thousands more people on the edge of homelessness right now because their housing assistance is unfunded.

        Because we already know that there a fair number of globalist, open-border/cheap labor RINOs in Congress?

        The wall is nothing more tha Obamacare part 2. Talk a big game when there is no chance to do anything about it, but do nothing with the opportunity. They could have cut spending, cut taxes even more or anything but they just waited to lose power for the excuses they can run on

        Do u read? Trump answered that question already. He said GOP leadership promised him by end of 2018 they’d do it. They didn’t, so he dug in and shut down govt. Simple.

        Also, have you heard of John McCain? Flake? Etc. He had a 51 in the Senate vote majority and like 4 RINOs. This isn’t hard to figure out unless you wanna feign ignorance as a way to make a snarky remark about Trump.
