You agree with what Pelosi is doing.
Noted.
well, he boasted about owning it. It was in all the papers, fake and conservative...HA! I know you saw it.
Then it happened.
Bluff called. Spin in play. Political background noise ensues.
Meanwhile a new hand has been dealt. In reality, he knows his hand is weaker than it was. Less pro votes. Less public support. No emotion or hope on my part in my previous post, not about me, just seeing reality and commenting.
I know what I'd do, but I'm trying to be an observer here, not a lefty partisan hack, not a Trumpette apologizer.
My post was pretty much a play-by-play game call of where he is now at the poker table. Cuz that's a real life analogy to which many can relate. It's how I see it so far, not sure what I said made you guess my personal hopes...and you ignored the yuuuge wall. it's not just the shutdown.
He doesn't have to bust out at the card table, but he does have to realize he blinked and Pelosi called and raised. Her hand improved after the midterms and recent popularity polls. his shutdown did not make the Dems cave. That's a real loss and error in judgement of the opposition.
He might be able to get her to take today's offer, add some chocolates and flowers (she's oooold school)...but he can't blink again.
As for me, I might have said thanks for reconsidering DACA, let's wrap this up.
But I'm not a one-call closer anymore.
