SOTU and the shutdown

Okay let’s give it a try.  The SOTU is off.  The MSM is celebrating PDJT caving.  That may be, but it also makes Grand Nan from San Fran Peloser look like the petty mean-spirited b*tch that she is.

I’m with PDJT on this one.  They probably looked at 20 different venues and none would come close to the atmosphere of delivering the speech from the floor of the House. I think a “rally SOTU” was a non-starter.  That would be a horrible optic SOTU.  Plus there’s this. Given that the MSM is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Demo-Dope Party, there’s probably a 90% chance the MSM would simply ignore the speech unless it conformed to Peloser’s demands.

Now the shutdown.  My sense is that PDJT is winning.  Here’s why.  He’s the only one offering anything.  Now the middle of both parties want a 3 week CR to open the government.  PDJT has indicated that, with a down payment on the wall, he’d consider that.  A 3 week pro-rated down payment on the wall would be less than half a billion dollars. 

It now appears that Peloser is willing to leave the government shut down for half a billion dollars.  That cannot be a good look for Dopes.  They howl about the safety of the American people and the effect of the shutdown on furloughed government workers yet will not offer up a crummy half billion dollars to get it done.

My guess is that PDJT will have to declare an emergency to open the government.  Then Dopes will sue him and the 9^th Circus and as is their wont act like azzes. 

All that said, we’re talking PDJT.  Who knows how this will play out?
