Yep - but with the government shut down over a border wall, and a LEGAL immigrant police officer having just been killed by an illegal who crossed the border, Trump is going to dial up the pressure, appeal to emotions, and make this a focal point of SOTU.

The optics are going to be extremely awkward on Dems, and could be what moves the needle of public opinion.

Trump knows it. Dems know it.

I think Pelosi and the Dem leadership is concerned about the decorum of the new Dem freshmen. With Trump right there in front of them they could break out into a screaming chant:
'NO JUSTICE ...NO PEACE!'
Then go to:
'NO BLOOD FOR WALL!'

Then Cortez might take off her clothes and start screaming for impeachment.

The optics would not be good.

I don’t get this either.


I do and it's got nothing to do with immigration or any policy substance. They object to Trump's very existence, they will do anything to discredit him, belittle him, insult him. In their mind he's a usurper to the Presidency, an uninvited interloper. He must be dealt with!!!!!!!!!!

They are worried about the reaction from their own members of the House

Because it give him a platform that will be carried by all MSM. This gives him a voice to all the people who have never heard his policies without the negative spin by the fake news outlet.
This should terrify them.

Nah. The MSM having to cover it will diminish them. People will hear him without the spin.

It's hard for the media to spin his comments in real time while he speaks directly to the people. He is going to pull out a bunch of parents of dead children killed by illegals, and rape victims, and then he's going to list off all of times these same democrats votes for border security and question why they won't now and then brag about his accomplishments. Facts and fulfilled campaign promises are kryptonite to these people.

And they can't rebutt facts in real time. And there is literally no rational explanation for why they all suddenly don't want border security other than orange man bad.

And did you see their last attempt at a rebuttal?

Because they are desperate to try and exert pressure on him. It’s nonsensical, but it’s their only move because they are so deranged that they can’t compromise even one inch on border security, even though they’ve voted for steel slats in the past.

The Left truly are revolting.

They're not worried about it, they just see an opportunity to score political points.

Why are you freaking out about it?
