That's pretty much what Hillary said about Trump until he make her into political joke. Every day this shutdown continues, Trump gains support from voters on the right, who have been critical of him lately for not having achieved the border fence, and the longer this goes on the more support he will have in 2020. If Trump ends the shutdown without getting funding for the border fence, he will not be able to run in 2020, so the Democrats have to decide if they are helping themselves or hurting themselves by keeping the shutdown going on and on and on and ....
This is the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Dems picked the wrong time and the wrong issue to play chicken with the Prez!
The President is holding 4 aces, Chuck and Nancy's pair of deuces just aren't going to do it.
The president will soon start to do damage to his core supporters in the Ag industry, he will give in before he pisses them off.
Which idiot media pundit did you hear this tripe from?
None, it is what I do for a living. I work with the farmers every single day.
The ones that had not finished the harvest or turned in the paperwork are not getting their trade mitigation payments they were promised. They want their piece of the 12 billion Trump promised them.
This is the time of year they would start filing with the FSA offices for corp insurance for the coming year and for payment if they had a bad crop this previous year. That will not he happening so no money from that.
Many rely on USDA approved loans for their seed or to purchase new equipment or even to make the payments to the bank on the family farm.
They also will not be getting their Conservation payments till it is all over.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
