    How about the Democrats who are suffering because the Democrats won't pass something they've supported in the past that they know works that costs less than the shutdown.

    If you think the shutdown will even sniff another month or two, I have some beachfront property in Idaho for sale. The public, Republicans, whomever will force Trump to abandon the wall so the government can re-open. Trump is already a one-term lame duck president. The damage is done. If you want to stubbornly cling to your anti-Dem message, so be it. But rationally you can’t tell me a shutdown will last 2 years

    You have got to know that Trump cannot possibly get reelected since all of the democrats who voted for him will not do so in the future.

    they have him a chance and he has disappointed to say the least.

    that is shown by how Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin have flipped.

    This is might be for another reason - if you recall, on one of his first trips abroad, his staff forgot to book a hotel for the G20 Summit in Hamburg and they ended up having to crash in the consulate. Davos is probably even a tougher town to find a room in.

    1. Why didn't Trump cancel the GOP's trip overseas?
    2. Egypt was not on the itinerary.
    3. Brussels was a stopover refueling point - hardly part of a "trip"
    4. The trip was suppose to be secret
    5. How does Trump think that Congressman should fly into a war zone on a commercial airliner.
    6. Trump is corrupt as heck.

    Doubtful. Not that Trump could actually play chess if he wanted to, but here's a pic of his board:

    This is about respect. If Pelosi and the Democrats want to be treated with respect by President Trump, they need to treat President Trump with respect. They did not do that and now they are reaping what they have sown.

    Only if the same protocol is observed for all govt. servants. if they have cancelled before yesterday, maybe .. but now It is clear what he did..
    I think you are not going to start defending as if this is not done as retaliation..

    Have to agree to that actually. You can certainly make a case for Pelosi going reg the NATO meeting which seems vitally important that NATO know there’s more to the US govt than just Trump, but I get it. Pelosi needs to be ready on a dime to run over to the White House if for some reason they decide they actually have a real idea to open the government that wasn’t concocted on the comments section of an info wars YouTube clip.
