Lot of game still to be played on this one. But she definitely scored first.

What makes him think she won't just come up with reason #3 and continue to delay the SOTU?



Because anything she does from this point forward makes her look like the bad guy....and that's all she cares about.

This only works with an unbiased media. She really doesn't have to worry about repercussions - media will cover for her, be her mouthpiece, slant coverage to fit the left narrative, etc.

She'll just say no again. And he'll cave again.

He better pull some serious shite out his arse because the MSM is going to run with this hard.

Dude, to the masses of people who watch CNN/ABC/CBS etc, Trump will still be painted in a shitty light.


Meh, the masses of people who watch CNN/ABC/CBS etc. will always think President Trump is a POS no matter what he ever does.

To show the Dems will not compromise. This way Trump looks rational and level-headed before making such a huge move like declaring an emergency. 


What I anticipate happening is the Dems offer funding to increase border security, but no wall included with it.

It'll be floated to the media that the Dems tried to compromise and offer an effective alternative and the ball will be back in Trump's court in terms of public perception.

Trump won the presidency in spite of the biased media and this will force the Dums to make a reasonable compromise that includes funding for the wall in spite of the biased media being on the Dums' side.

If they don't make a reasonable compromise that includes funding for the wall then the next shutdown or President Trump declaring a national emergency will be the Dums' fault.

The Democrats will not negotiate and they will masterfully spin this and put the re-shutdown on the Republicans.

Don't be so sure that it will take months or more to get to the SCOTUS.

Since it will be a national emergency, the case can be expedited to the SCOTUS which means the SCOTUS will hear it in less than a month.

And all on her does what exactly?

If Trump was going to cave, he should have done it three weeks ago when they originally said "Open the govt and we will all about it"... He could have looked like the bigger man.

Instead, he held out, got bitch slapped with the SOTU snub, and now looks like he's coming back with his tail between his leg.

He should have stood tall this far into it.

I called it 3 weeks ago that the impact to travel would bring this thing to an end and it did.

Any rational person sees it this way, but let’s be honest.....no one in the public sphere will blame Pelosi or the dems if they don’t negotiate.


Trump supporters/Republicans will blame Pelosi.

Trump detractors/Democrats will blame Trump.

It's that simple.

Yep, now he can schedule the SOTU shortly before the CR expires, and take his case to the people.

Brilliant!
