You can’t really turn a ball robbery into a gun control thing can you?
He’s just a run of the mill criminal
that's likely why they haven't spinned it
not even the cincinnati mayor tried to pull a gun control spin in his initial comments
Wow
Just infuriating.
"By Thursday night, however, Trump said he didn’t want to do anything to “hurt” Republicans before the midterm elections. He said he expects wall funding in the next Congress when he predicted Republicans would defy the odds and strengthen their ranks in the House and Senate."
guy has to work with them
I just don't understand how wall funding would hurt the Republicans?
You get one week of bad press after the government shutdown and you get the cornerstone of his entire campaign?
well it's not guaranteed to get wall funding
it's a risk
It'll hurt the Republicans not to do this. This is just a plain blunder honestly
to not get wall funding yeah
but shutting down the government and not getting wall funding at the same time = not good
This is an interesting segment
So it might not be the man himself but the other Republicans pressuring him into not shutting down
well yeah, that's exactly what it is
It is up to him.
Fuck the Republican leadership
He owns them
Exactly
He can fuck over all their re-elections in a heartbeat
I look at the Georgia Primary as an example of this
influencing primary elections is different from dealing with established politicians who have been in power for decades
@FLanon shutting down the government is a gambit
Come on. This is a prime opportunity, I don't know if he'll be able to get this chance after the midterms.
It'll *cause* Republican seats to be kept
Now it really is a matter of winning the midterms or nothing will get done.
Yes, this is just a travesty.
disgusting by drumpf
the political capital we had was spent on tax cuts
if he doesn't do more, we may've voted for jeb
Absolute prime opportunity to actually get the wall funded with no strings attached except for a week of bad press, skips to appease Turtleface and Ryanstein.
Getting the Wall before the Midterms would help the Republicans
It wouldn't hurt
It would definitely energize the base
Yes it's a cause/effect thing
And we need every seat we can get
