You guys thinking the same Thing I am?

I think if Trump capitulates in any sort of shape or manner on the wall.... His base will just freak the fuck out....
Their love for Trump centers around his arrogance and his love of stomping on anything that has anything to do with helping the poor or LGBT Community, or foreigners who try reach our country to protect their families . The list is endless..

The $1,375 Billion which might be the number Trump accepts from the Dems. I doubt it, but if he does? His base will begin its exodus from the King of Bullshit!

he's playing 3-D chess, he has a master plan and we mere mortals have to just trust him, this was what he wanted all along, and he has outsmarted the Dems once again!

They will not accept his demise easily.. Wether they will dig in and continue to surround him remains a big question.
It will be hard for them to let him go.. Their egos have been blessed with Trump... But if he gives in on the Wall? I think it will be the beginning of the end

extorting him to get everything they/we can in exchange for just enough funding to allow Trump to claim he got money for the wall. I don't think his supporters will know if he got 1 mile of wall or 1,000 miles of wall.


The dem politicians know Trump will do anything to claim victory on his stupid wall, and I think they'll give it to him. For a hefty, hefty price.

They're gone. The leader could say anything and they'd buy it.

5. He will convince them that he won

They want to believe him so they will.

Edit: just turned over to FOX and Trump’s rally. He said he had just been told the Congressional negotiators are reporting that they think they have a deal, but he doesn’t care because “I will build the wall any way.”
So, he is already declaring victory.

9. Nope, MAGAts would fall all over themselves to praise the Dear Leader for getting a billion bucks

and they would extoll his genius in suckering Dems into giving him money by calling it "border security" and "bollards" when he's really going to use it for walls. They will declare him a deal-making ninja master, executing a brilliant plan, eight steps ahead of his opponents.




Yes, they are that delusional. No, they won't begin any exodus.

10. His base, fuck them

Agree with posters above, they won't care and believe any B.S. he puts out.

His real loss is the elected Repukes. If the stories coming out are accurate (and I believe they are) it means the repuke reps are ignoring the wishes of tRump and agreeing to a plan with the Dems. It allows the Reps to cover themselves but they are leaving tRump's fat ass exposed.

Now, McCarthy and Mitch will come out and make some harsh statements against the Dems, but the damage is done. The Repubs can't hold together. So the base will have an issue, support tRump AND those who wouldn't stand and fight with the cult leader or turn on tRump or their elected Rep.

They are in a lose/lose spiral, and I personally don't care if they all crash and burn. Dems need to hold firm, offer nothing, and sit back and enjoy the internal repub fight.

They are like members of a doomsday cult. When the world doesn’t end, they rationalize and remain true believers.
