When I discuss #SchumerShutdown, lefty pals reply “@realDonaldTrump said Mexico would pay for the wall,” which is like pointing out @HillaryClinton won popular vote. So what? There’s a shutdown. Ds won’t negotiate or compromise b/c they oppose border security. Simple stuff.

So what? Trump is asking Americans to spend $5 billion on a wall he said Mexico would pay for and has proudly owned shutting down government over it. Simple stuff indeed. https://t.co/pyQDATGrWb

The voters spoke. They elected a House of Representatives who do not want a wall. That is the people’s will. Trump is blackmailing the government and our citizens to get something which people clearly do not want. Democracy spoke. https://t.co/J7dcRCGwzb
