trump. maybe someone gets really creative, follow newt gingrich s advice which is to give him $5 billion but give full legalization for the dreamers. that will really drive his base crazy. none of them are getting trump what he wants. so he s looking for something to come down and save him perhaps or he s just thinking moment to moment, tv shot to tv shot and really hasn t figured out to get out of this. but there s no good end for this and at some point republicans are going to throw up their hands and say we need to get back to work. you say at some point, i that s a big part of this. there were some republicans still making the delay argument, yeah, it looks like mexico is not paying for it and it looks like donald trump literally shutdown the government in order to break his promise because his promise was the u.s. wouldn t pay for the wall and he s shutdown the government now to try and make the u.s. pay for
