GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN 2018
President Trump announced he would not sign a funding bill to keep the government open during the next few weeks unless $5B for a WALL was provided. Paul Ryan’s blue eyes turned brown, Nancy Pelosi was discombobulated more than usual, Chuck Schumer was on the verge of tears, again. There was no attitude by any of these clowns of “great, now we can beat Trump because he has made a grave mistake and we are going to win”. The reactions were more like “who pulled the rug out from under us????? and how do we get our balance so we don’t come crashing down???”
Then came the vote at the House of Representatives which gave President Trump a victory. All the bravado came from the White House with President Trump and all the signs of defeat came from the Obama Dimocrats and their ally Paul Ryan.
Why was President Trump smiling and so happy? It is doubtful that the Senate will pass the House bill. It is likely there will be a partial shutdown of the government in time for Christmas. So why is this good news for President Trump??? Look to history for the answer and recall President Bill Clinton versus Newt Gingrich.

In 1994 Newt Gingrich Republicans won an historic victory when after 40 years they finally won the House of Representatives. The presumption was that President Bill Clinton was set back on his heels as he conceded repeatedly to the House Republicans on fight after fight. Then President Bill Clinton yanked the chain:

As the clocks struck midnight on Nov. 14, 1995, so began the longest federal government shutdown in U.S. history.
21 DAYS, from 14-19 NOV and again from 16 DEC 1995-6 JAN 1996 — nonessential government employees stayed home while their leaders fought to pass a federal budget. The shutdown was sparked when an agreement between President Bill Clinton and the Republican-controlled Congress (led by then Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich) could not be reached by Sept. 30, the expiration date of the previous year’s budget. In the end, the shutdown, which cost the government $800 million in losses for salaries paid to furloughed employees, was settled when Clinton submitted a budget that proposed to eliminate the federal deficit in seven years.
That showdown was the beginning of the end for Newt Gingrich. President Trump is planning the same for Nancy Pelosi. Imagine what will happen if there is a partial government shutdown. Christmas week it won’t matter. Few normal Americans will notice anything has changed. The following week, on January 3rd, Nancy Pelosi presumably becomes Speaker of the House.
Pelosi will not be able to compromise with President Trump because the lunatic left won’t allow her. If Pelosi compromises to end the shutdown then she will not become Speaker of the House. The entire nation will see that Pelosi won’t compromise because all she offers is “resistance”. In other words, the moment the Obama Dimocrats take power in the House, total war will be the order of the day.
President Trump will appeal to the nation to protect the borders.
Nancy Pelosi will argue against national security.
Add to the mix that the only reason why Obama Dimocrats won the elections for the House of Representatives is because so many of them assured their districts they are “moderates” not leftist loons.
How will these Representatives vote as counter-proposals emerge?
How will the Obama Dimocrats in the U.S. Senate vote?
Into this genuine chaos the Obama Dimocrats will fall as the master of the vortex laughs at their haplessness.
As long as the Republicans in the Senate stand with President Trump, President Trump wins. It won’t really matter what happens with the shutdown, because this is a war for the hearts and minds of the American public in the states that elected President Trump in 2016.
Do Americans want national security or an endless stream of caravans loaded with an endless stream of illegal immigrants who owe loyalty to the nations they flee and deep down despise America????????
I STAND WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP AND NATIONAL SECURITY – BUILD THE WALL NOW!!!!
