So do DEMS not realize Trump is going to spin this EO to make them look bad?

They had a chance to get something done and failed. Trump is going to sign an EO to get it done. Do they think Trump will forget or fail to mention this little fact?

Not that it needed spinning to make them look bad.

I was just thinking the same thing. How is the a win for Dems and not Trump. He is stepping and fixing the crisis they’ve been screaming about because they were unwilling. He’s doing what previous Presidents have refused to do...again

No, they're too busy patting themselves on the back for "getting him to cave". That's what makes this all the more sweet - anticipating the hypersonic backpedaling they'll be doing in a few days time.

He'll probably do a temporary suspension and challenge congress to put a bill on his desk. He'll use the time to reframe the narrative as America watches dems walk away from the issue for the third time.

Which is precisely what Obama and Bush were doing. Only Trump decided to split them up.

They didn't release them with a pinky promise to appear in court?

Will be checkmate for Trump. It will have an expiration date so the dems will be forced to vote for or against.

It will ultimately be framed as whether or not the dems are voting for or against the kids.

Uh, those kids were unaccompanied minors, dipshit. There were no parents with them to take them from.

How are some of you frickers so goddamned dumb not to see that Trump played his hand and got his fricking arse whooped by not only democrats, but by his own fricking party. He sticking his tail between his legs and backtracking.

He has NO leverage. None. Quit pretending he does.

A cursory knowledge of congressional processes is helpful here. the democrats can do nothing but talk, as they don't have majorities in either house.

Of course, this won't stop trump, his rabid fan base, or fox news from saying this. It is readily apparent from this board, much of his base has no idea how congress works.

Furthermore, only trumplicans could spin implementing a policy and then backing off of it within a few months due to public pressure as #winning.

Trump institutes insane policy. America is horrified. Trump's own wife is horrified. Trump changes insane policy.

Poli Board: "It's Democrats' fault."

Not exactly. Obama never really enforced it that much. Only in certain circumstances. He certainly didn’t have a zero tolerance policy

Is it your position that nothing whatsoever has changed since trump took office in regards to this issue? Are you arguing that Obama’s was cracking down on border security or that trump is not?
