Left is left, right is right, and everyone in the middle is shaking their heads uttering ***** politicians. The only way one side or the other can win is to win the public relations battle. I don't see Pelosi or Schumer beating Trump if Trump plays it smart. He's gotta continue to use the Bully Pulpit and take his case to the people, all while showing he's the one that will work with the other side. Pelosi has already succumbed to the left fringe of her party. She allowed them to make her take a stand that is only palatable to them, not the more moderate dems. She's in a similar position as John Boehner was with the Freedom Caucus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 1 minute ago, Deranged Rhino said: This is accurate... but there are plenty in the middle starting to see one side is willing to compromise and the other will not. Once it becomes clear to the non partisans that one side is being purely political (which is all the DNC is doing right now), they'll lose support fast. Fair. In my view, it’s two experienced pros doing battle at the country’s expense. Great entertainment value but does this change anything come Election Day? Both sides are so entrenched, this isn’t swaying a percentage of those votes. The middle knows Trump needs his wall for his base and the Dems need not vote on it for theirs. Seems like all the entertainment ultimately ends up as a wash for both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump needs to use the Bully Pulpit to convince people that a wall is necessary, not for his political purposes but for real security and prevention of child sex slavery. Nancy can't show that her stance is anything but for political purposes. Nancy can't win the battle for public opinion but Trump can if he plays it right.

Because it's nothing more than a memo (not even an EO) advising immigration crimes not be prosecuted. That's not "protection." He, and Pelosi, should grow up and counter with "Support passing DACA into law, and we'll give you half the funding for your wall." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boardwalk Empire was great but did fall off at the end. A lot of shows get away from their roots after several seasons and lose their audiences because of it. Ray Donovan started to do that last year and early this year with flashbacks, but I think they've righted themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdnlng Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 The dynamics are different this term what with all the changes. Last term the R's held the House and were split with the more moderate being able to accept some sort of amnesty while the conservatives didn't want any part of it. They both could have agreed on a wall. The D's on the other hand wouldn't cooperate with the R's. This term the D's could get some sort of amnesty passed but don't want the wall. Nothing is going to get agreed to without Nancy casting aside the left by agreeing to a wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is going to get agreed to without Nancy casting aside the left by agreeing to a wall. Trump and Pelosi aren't good negotiators. Trump didn't do himself any favors in the court of public opinion clearly changing his mind at the last second on not signing the bill and then saying he'd take the blame for the shutdown in front of the cameras. Meanwhile, Pelosi calls the wall "immoral" and therefore any compromise that includes wall funding makes her commit an immoral act according to her definition. One thing I liked about Trump's speech today is he finally gave a little clarification that it wouldn't be one continuous wall/barrier along the Mexican border. It might convince some people that there tax money won't be wasted on an ineffective and expensive project that's unlikely to be completed.
