doesn\u2019t fund The Wall<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe Republican strategy appears to be \u201cremove everything that might be objectionable to Democrats so we can get the bill passed and keep government running \u2013 otherwise, we\u2019ll get blamed for the shut-down.\u201d<\/p>\n
That strategy is indistinguishable from \u201clet the Democrats run the country.\u201d<\/p>\n
Look, there were a dozen Republican candidates.\u00a0 Trump won the nomination on a single issue:\u00a0 Build The Wall.\u00a0 That\u2019s his signature issue and it\u2019s the only reason he\u2019s President today.<\/p>\n
The spending bill doesn\u2019t have to cover the entire cost of The Wall \u2013 a symbolic down payment of even a lousy $1 would be enough to show he was keeping his promise to his base while rebuilding the military and draining the swamp.<\/p>\n
If the Never-Trumpers in Congress won\u2019t fund The Wall, President Trump should refuse to sign the spending bill.\u00a0 Shut down the government and take the heat from the media.\u00a0 Tweet everyday \u201cDemocrats willing to spend your dollars to kill babies but not protect children.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cDemocrats replacing Americans with Mexicans on your dime.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cDemocrats, party of KKK, still keeping Blacks out of work.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cI earn a dollar, Democrats won\u2019t let you earn that.\u201d<\/p>\n
