Trump put himself in a box. Without the wall he has done nothing for the base and will get clobbered

[Quixote1818]

in the next election. This is how much of the base is going to react:

Coulter, who has clashed with Trump over the wall in the past, told The Daily Caller that without the wall, the linchpin of his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump will “just have been a joke presidency who scammed the American people, amused the populist for a while, but he’ll have no legacy whatsoever.”


"My prediction is his support will evaporate and Trump will very likely not finish his term and definitely not be elected to a second term,” Coulter told The Daily Caller.

So he probably sees shutting down the Gov. as his only option.

1. That's why he's done a 180 on it.

He was getting slammed on Fox and Friends. Limbaugh was destroying him. Conservative pundits were saying it was going to be his "Read my lips" moment. Coulter eviscerated him. People on conservative message boards were saying that if he signed it, they would not be voting for him in 2020 and staying home.

It was shut down the government or lose the base.

2. Yes, and so the crazy 30% of the Country is holding the rest of us hostage right now.

because of Trump's over promising. Never promise a lion more than you can deliver.

9. Not because of trump over promising but because of people's lack of involvment

Every loves the great man theory out of lazyness . All i have to do us get one great man elected then sit back . President trump can promise all he wants but he's only the president you need congress to deliver .
Anyone paying attention knew this man was a fraud but to those low-info voters he was gonna be the great man to fix it all .

People who werent engaged in process let themselves get fooled and dragged us all down with them

3. They knew what they were doing.

They called him everything from weak to being a woose . They knew that would get his hackles up enough to veto what the Senate sent over. I don’t believe for a minute they meant anything other than to manipulate him to beat his chest and play the big shot. He is probably strutting around the White House like he owns the place. tRumpolini, indeed.

4. If you ask me

It already is a joke presidency that scammed the American people, amused the populist for a while, but will have no legacy whatsoever.

And one that was fully supported by the Russians, and made possible by Putin!

[ooky]

5. So how long before he blinks?

Sooner or later he will have to face the angry mob he told lies to.

6. Ann actually nailed it.

I sense a great disturbance in The Force.

7. Hey Hans, did you hear what Ann Coulter said?

[HopeAgain]

8. Coulter is irrelevant to everyone anymore

I see the Trumpers who are hanging on as enablers of Trump and will likely buy whatever excuse he gives on the wall. Hell, some of them are already ponying up at gofundme. These are the same people who thought Mexico was going to pay for it.

10. Read my Lips. No matter what.

Trump is screwed. He promised the American people that they wouldn’t get stuck with the bill for his dumbass wall. And looks like it’s costing us no matter what. There’s no win for him or us or anyone. What a fucking idiot.

11. He's going to lie!

He's going to put a fresh coat of paint on the fence that's already there and declare victory. Also he's probably going to take credit for the Rio Grande being there. Oh and the desert is very hot and difficult to traverse, which is also going to be touted as a triumph.

His base won't question it because they have nothing else to believe in.

[awesomerwb1]

12. The base will eat up whatever he gives them

He'll blame the Dems and the base will be happy to go along with that.

[meadowlander]

13. They didn't vote for Trump... they voted for "not a Democrat"

because that's what Fox news and Ann Coulter and their local pastor told them to do.

I don't think they're going to turn on Trump because he doesn't build and wall or because Mexico doesn't pay for it.

They're going to turn on Trump when they stop making money and use not building the wall as an excuse.
