1. Gee, I think this is the first poll I have ever voted first.

2. It's Just Silly Grandstanding

For his cowardly base.
They aren't going to appropriate major $ from other sources to actually do anything

[dameatball]

4. Right. And most of these polls are a bit silly. My comment was meant to be a bit humorous as we do

not know what will eventually happen. Polls are only as reliable as the subject sources polled and the randomness involved. Most journalist students learned that back as far (at least) as the 70's.

6. Then We Completely Agree

There were active military guys on TV today saying the declaration is nonsense. So even the military opposes this. Some, at least.

11. Only random polls are indicative.

This crap about polling groups that are already politically affiliated are nothing but making money.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. No, because nobody but his cult members will believe it.

And their numbers are dwindling.

[workinclasszero]

5. I want to believe that

We need an even bigger blue wave in 2020 to run trump and his treason party totally out of power!

7. no...

...it's our Reichstag fire...

...but I'm not worried, I'll be dead soon...

8. Please adjust your tinfoil; it's cutting off circulation.

[Mme. Defarge]

9. More like his

Waterloo.

[C_U_L8R]

10. He'll fall on his face, again.

This guy is pretty incompetent. It will be a big mess.

[Aristus]

12. Everything he's done since he was sworn in has been called his

'Reichstag Fire'.

This will disappear in a few news cycles.

If Don Jr. is indicted, this will never be mentioned again.

13. Hopefully the courts will stop him

I am not counting on pressure from fellow Repukes doing it. They are so often all talk. But this is an egregious abuse of power. In no way, shape or form is the border situation a national emergency requiring a wall. One of the few things that is a national emergency IMO is climate change. But like Trump would ever act on that.

14. I hit pass because I oddly say all of the above.

[Wounded Bear]

15. Pass...you need a "he wants it to be" option...

[moondust]

16. Possibly his plan.

But I don't see it producing the same outcome. Nevertheless, this kind of power grab tends to erode democratic norms.
