Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.

Re: "Oh, Cher, you are in such deep doo doo with your Hollyweird crowd - DEEP, VERY DEEP...."Cher is right - and that's not something you'll hear very often from me. This is a fight that only Trump can win, and she apparently knows it. After all, the President loses nothing by keeping 25% of the government closed. His supporters mostly like the idea.

For Democrats to keep the government closed for a protracted period for the purpose of keeping the President from getting a measly $40 per taxpayer risks infuriating one of their bigger constituent groups: Federal workers and their families. The best the Democrats can do at this point is to end the standoff, give the President his money, and then take the matter up in 2020. (If they really think the public agrees with them, that is.)

I'm just sad that President Trump didn't continue pursuing the $25 billion he originally wanted. In a few weeks, Democrats will be desperate to make a deal with him. They'll be willing to give him a lot more than $5.8 billion. Unfortunately, that's all he's now saying he needs.
