While Trump spoke calmly and rationally from behind the Resolute Desk, the Democratic leaders accused him of “pounding the table” and having a “temper tantrum.” While Trump told human stories, they complained about . They accused him of arguing that the women and children at the border were “a security threat” when he had just explained to the American people that they were victims, too. They charged him with using the “backdrop of the Oval Office to manufacture a crisis, stoke fear and divert attention from the turmoil in his administration.” They were partisan and petty, while Trump came across as reasonable and even compassionate.
To normal Americans watching in the heartland, and who are not steeped in Trump hatred, the president must have seemed like the adult in the room.
And, most important, Pelosi and Schumer failed to use the one word that millions of Americans were longing to hear — compromise. But Trump did. That is why the president won the night. Schumer and Pelosi appealed to their base, while Trump made an effective appeal to persuadable Americans.

Well at least some of our liberal friends are being rational. Trump specifically lays out the cost and dangers of rampant illegal immigration while also extending compassion to those who come into our country illegally. Democratic leadership responds by throwing out insults and cheap political rhetoric while not once addressing a single issue.
We'll see in the coming days and weeks how the American public responds.

That has always been the problem with many in "The Resistance," their unwillingness to see any glimmer of positivity...so steeped are they in their negative mindset regarding the "Great Liar" Trump.

Right now all the pressure seems to be on Trump over the shutdown. If this drags out I believe Democratic leadership's unwillingness to compromise will shift that pressure and blame.

In the span of a few decades, Los Angeles area construction went from an industry that was two-thirds white, and largely unionized, to one that is overwhelmingly Latino, mostly nonunion and heavily reliant on immigrants, according to a Los Angeles Times review of federal data.
At the same time, the job got less lucrative. American construction workers today make $5 an hour less than they did in the early 1970s, after adjusting for inflation.
The majority of the "cost and danger" from immigration (most of which arrives "legally" through ports of entry) is not from other crime and/or illegal drugs - it is from depressed (stagnant or declining) wages for employment which used to be able to support (well above the poverty level) not only the US worker but their dependents as well.

Conservative author writes opinion piece saying Trump won the war of ****ty speeches.
Big news, if true!
Well at least some of our liberal friends are being rational.
It does seem ironic that Democrats who clamor for higher wages for middle and lower class workers support the very thing that keeps those wages low.
There's simply no rational way to justify their actions.
It's pretty obvious that the OP doesn't know who Marc Thiessen is. He was a speechwriter for W. Bush and Donald Rumsfeld. He's a conservative opinion columnist for Wapo.
I'm sure in an effort to be honest, the OP will share a comparable opinion piece from a left winger, and try to pretend that it was the opinion of the Washington Post.
You're free to offer a rebuttal if you want and I'm sure it will be a balanced piece.
You know, since you were such a staunch former conservative and you're Momma and Pappa were conservatives and you bled conservatism and whatever other horsesh** you want to blow out.
Trump and many republicants are also pretending to be concerned about the plight of the average US worker yet we do not have E-Verify mandates or a federal income tax law which allows deduction of only legal labor costs. There are essentially two camps (not necessarily split by party) which favor no reduction in immigration (legal or not) - A) those that want to protect "job creators" from rising US labor costs and those that see the resulting demographic changes as being politically and/or economically advantageous.
Marc Thiessen is Republican and regularly writes Republican supported opinions.Well at least some of our liberal friends are being rational.
It's a rebuttal to you not knowing that Marc Thiessen is not a "liberal friend". Everyone else in this thread knew it.
Next time do your research before making dumb comments. And also, as someone smart pointed out to you, an opinion piece is not Breaking News.
Uh huh. Like you liberals and the media throw out Sheppard Smith pieces and act like that's Fox news's opinion.
Hopping upon the "call out dishonesty" bandwagon...
Marc Thiessen is Republican and regularly writes Republican supported opinions.
Is it that you don't bother to research things before you write them or just don't care?
Marc Thiessen is a Republican but you can't call him a big cheerleader of President Trump. If you did your research you would have found several of his opinion pieces have been quite critical of Trump.Hopping upon the "call out dishonesty" bandwagon...

I think that's why Trump won the Republican nomination rather than Jeb "illegal immigration is an act of love" Bush.
Americans have seen this game played for too long and are smarter than they're given credit for.
