but possible
Ok so government shuts down
Now it's impossible
And you think that's enough to get Susan Collins, Jeff Flake, and 9 Democrats to support funding the Trump wall?
That's your fucking argument?
No
Did democrats cave on funding for obamacare when Cruz shutdown the government?
They would never cave
For something like funding the wall
you wouldn't need 60 votes because McConnell would've nuclear'd it to get out of the shutdown
And McConnel would never use the nuclear option
No he wouldnt
He said he's not doing it
And that is under his control
You think they would wait out a shutdown until Trump signs a bad bill?
You think they're that desperate to stop the wall?
McConnell is an old conservative, and you can't argue with that, he will make us all fall on the sword for his principles
He wouldn't use the nuclear option
Even if his entire party pressured him too
Nobody really has principles in he Senate
McConnell care about tradition
They're all bought
by lobbyists and the Koch Brothers
no principles
just Wall Street cash
So you're conceding that there is no real way you would've passed the wall, if the senators are all bought by people who don't support the wall
Never will or would've happened
I'm admitting it would've been difficult
but Trump could've fought and won
It's beyond difficult, it's impossible
Trump vs all that lobbying, 9 democrats and all senate republicans
Yeah no
Trump had the government to hold hostage
now he has nothing
no leverage,
no threats
So what? They would've passed it without him lol
he's toast
Override his veto if they needed too
Okay, there's the thing
