This is all for optics -

Trump is the adult and works with the Congress rank and file, not the leadership. The leadership keeps their hard line and looks like fools.

In three weeks we are back at square one, with Trump not giving away anything of substance.

Either the rank and file gets the deal done and bypasses the leadership or Trump does the national emergency.

If the leadership allows the rank and file do the deal, Nancy and Chuck look bad. If the rank and file don't get what they want, then Chuck and Nancy run the risk of being removed from leadership.

Chuck and Nancy has gotten a taste of how bad Trump can make them look. He has only gotten started. They are going to regret trying to take on Trump.

Q and POTUS - time to start dropping the bad news on the Deep State - - declass, indictments, arrests. At the same time let the Covington parents tie up the MSM with massive lawsuits.

Pull government funding for uncooperative countries and pull government funding for liberal organizations.

Time to hit them hard while congress is busy fighting each other.
