he could have struck these deals, and again, the enduring mystery is why does he choose the 37% when he could get 50%. i ve been asking that question from january the 20th, 2017. i ask it again. i brought up, he could have had an immigration deal, gotten over $20 billion for his wall. supported a dreamers fix that 75% of americans supported and boom, his full numbers would have gone up, chose not to. listen to steven miller, stayed down. i don t have a ground unified field theory of the trump psyche. when trump decided to become a political figure, the first thing he did was run a racist campaign to delegitimize the first african-american president. he got convinced that the donald trump who was a pragmatic deal
would be happy getting 50% of what we want, where would you push? well, i would push, james freeman talked about the immigration reform. if i were the democrats, look, let s give him money for the wall and let s get something like a daca fix in return, the dreamers fix in return because the wall will will diminished in people s minds and the daca fix which is like a 70 or 80% winner dependent on how you word the question, advantage of both democrats and republicans but it s going to be democrats who will be the people who layed it out on the table and said we are willing to deal with you in order to get it. paul: what would your advice be to president trump how to deal with democrats, my thinking is the more they investigate him and move toward impeachment, the more trump will rely on republicans to salvage for presidency if they do impeach to house and goes to senate, less like lie to compromise.
