Team Trump Gleeful That Shutdown Will Hijack Pelosi's Big Moment
https://www.thedailybeast.com/team-trump-gleeful-that-shutdown-will-hijack-pelosis-big-momentsnip of article:
Days into a partial government shutdown that has left tens of thousands of federal workers furloughed, President Donald Trump and his close allies have begun feeling more confident about the political perch they occupy.
In their eyes, a prolonged stalemate will likely fracture voters along traditional partisan lines, and the ultimate outcome will be a debate waged largely on the president’s terms. Increasingly, they see an upside in forcing likely incoming Speaker Nancy Pelosi to have to spend the first days, if not weeks, of the next Congress engaged in an argument over border wall funding rather than her preferred agenda: a mix of sweeping ethics and election reforms and congressional oversight. And they continue to believe that a conversation around immigration and border security is in the president’s best political interests.
this is the only thing he has his tantrum over a fucking wall. He's not going to get it.
this will not stop Speaker Pelosi.
