....With That
At the same time, having the Democrats put so much effort into resisting Trump's most obvious symbol of racism will unify them behind Pelosi at exactly the moment Republicans should be looking to find ways to weaken her. When she inevitably forces Trump to back down, because that's the only way this ends, with no wall getting built but maybe more funding for border security, she's going to be strutting like a giant and Trump will be weaker than ever.

(1,188 posts)My guess is you're right. It's all about how HE can benefit from the shutdown. It was never about the wall, or even the Democrats. it's always all about him.
Take your sorry fat ass to jail, Donnie. And take your sluts with you.
(BTW, that's not "fat-shaming" or whatever we're calling it now. I've been too heavy all my life, but I don't think I've ever had as ass that sags as much as the usurper)

(81,265 posts)Pelosis no shrinking violet. She grew up watching real-time political hardball. Shes been in this business her entire life. And she can handle and oversee more than one thing at once. Plus - this isnt her first rodeo - not by a long shot.
SHES the real master of the art of the deal. Anybody who still doubts that after we all saw how quickly she rounded up enough votes to secure a return to the Speakership is just simply out orbiting beyond Mars or something.
