Re: Trump threatens to shut border 'entirely' unless Democrats fund wall
Yes. But despite the election his base is a minority, and this was exemplified by the House elections. This is the problem, and I'd argue the latter election more accurately reflects the current mood of the country.It's not insulting to his base, 90% who stand behind his efforts to obtain funding for border barriers, and other related expenses.
"Elections have consequences."
Though I'm not happy about the shutdown and I doubt many others are either, the ball is in the Democrat's corner.
It's insulting that the obstructionist Democrats are digging their heals in over a very minuscule amount for the border compared to the other proposed expenditures. That's what is insulting...
What it also shows to me is that the Democrats are all smoke when it comes to getting DACA. IF they want something for their base, they have to give something back. The Democrats need to negotiate....
I stand behind Trump not giving into the Democrat's temper tantrum. People didn't send these legislators to congress to play politics.
