re: #379 makeitstop

Looks like the setup for a walkaway. Trump will point to the bill and say he made it as tough as he could and he tried. And just like ACA, he’ll say it didn’t pass because ‘The Democrats wouldn’t give us any votes.’

And the Red Hats will forget about it inside a week.

Also - remember that Trump probably sees his Wall and the fight for his wall as equal in value. If he gets it, it’s a big win. If not he gets to promise it over and over. Dude loves him a good cudgel.

Which is honestly what should have happened two weeks ago when it was obvious he wouldn’t be getting his wall. But by extending this for far longer than necessary, the GOP — by being compliant with Trump — took the loss and made it an outright catastrophic failure.
