Trump Needs To Do Nothing It’s Dems Fault Gov. Shut Down!
Amid the partial government shutdown, President Trump may have to offer something in return for funding his border wall, national security analyst Morgan Ortagus suggested on the “Special Report” All-Star panel Tuesday night.
Now several days into the partial closure, which began at midnight Saturday, the president is standing firm with his demand for border funding, something Democrats on Capitol Hill are refusing to hand over.
“I can’t tell you when the government is going to be open. I can tell you that it’s not going to be open until we have a wall or fence — whatever they’d like to call it,” Trump told reporters from the Oval Office.

Tuesday's All-Star panel, which included Ortagus, Bloomberg opinion columnist Eli Lake and Washington Post opinion writer Charles Lane, weighed in on who has the better standing during the shutdown.
Ortagus began by saying neither side has been “willing to take a loss” and that the “only way out of this” is for President Trump to “put something on the table.”

I hope Trump does NOT cave in to the democrats… Virtually every time there is a showdown, the republicans have caved…hopefully Trump will hold his ground and not cave in !!
Trump has to do nothing. He already gave up when the first cr was issued without wall funding and he was promised that the funding would be taken care of by the end of the year. They could have gotten by with a little over 1 bil. Instead, they pissed him off when they came up with the last cr with no money saying they would push it down the road until next year. Since the house will change hands in Jan, if I was him, Pelosi and Schumer would get nothing signed and show them how the game is played. It’s not good for the country but we can survive it. Also, any legislation that involved any pork would be thrown out
Stand firm. All sensible Americans are counting on you, Mr President to provide national border security to protect the country from lunatics and enemies of the people!
Mr President,
Please shove the wall down their throat, like nobama shoved healthcare down ours.
DONOT give in! Keep your promise!
