Here is a newspaper article about Joe Donnelly’s run in Indiana

https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/obamas-pre-midterms-swing-continues-as-he-stumps-for-indiana-sen-joe-donnelly/

I am guessing that this information plus the way he’s running his new ad and Indiana which I cannot find online to share with you, gives me reason to believe the party is going to approve the wall after the election for anyone who was butt hurt by my last post whoever reported it please look online for the information

1. Joe Donnelly is not the party. He's one guy.

And I doubt very much that he will get much support for the wall from other Dems.

that only a few red state congresscritters will support it, and only during elections.

2. He's been running ads for several months saying that he supported Trump's wall.

Because he's in a red state. Just because Joe Donnelly had to make a vote on one of Trump's agenda items doesn't mean the entire Democratic party is suddenly embracing it.

6. In our bicameral legislature, it would take both chambers to approve this.

I don’t see how one senator speaks for the House.

8. No. You said the party was going to build the Wall.

I just don’t see a D House ever building a wall and I see no evidence of our House leadership asking for the Wall. Besides, there will be too many subpoenas to issue!
