On Day 1, Democrats proposed amending the U.S. Constitution to expand the power of the federal government. @GOP had total control and a record number of states govs.

They didn't introduce a single amendment.

That's why @MittRomney & Co. lost the GOP base to @realDonaldTrump.
FTR, I should say the GOP didn't "push" a single amendment. They are the kings and queens of token gestures. But they're never really serious about scaling back the federal government, or advancing the general cause of liberty.

Point being, Democrats fight the big fights.
Along comes someone like Donald Trump. They never saw it coming because they got used to their base being suckers.

Showing up to CPAC claiming to be "severely conservative" just wasn't good enough anymore after decades of screwing over your base for personal gain and profit.

Look at the wording. If the survey wording inc. terms like "wall" or "Trump" etc., it's bias tainted. We use the term "physical barrier."

A typical Q example:

"Thinking about immigration policy, do you support a physical barrier along the U.S. southern border with Mexico?"
To be fair, many pollsters tainted questions over healthcare, tainting the survey by calling it "ObamaCare." It carries a negative connotation, and evokes a knee-jerk partisan response.

"Do you oppose or support the Affordable Care Act, more commonly referred to as ObamaCare?"
Naturally, ObamaCare polled very poorly at that time. But ask the respondents about the actual policy, including support for protections against preexisting conditions, and those were always popular.

Just don't let pollsters and glorified poll-readers dupe you. They know better.

1. This isn't a negotiation. Nancy Pelosi is a weak speaker. She'll be the weakest we've had in a very long time, with no real bargaining power. Pelosi faces revolt if she compromises.

"Compromise" was the magic word when the GOP took over BOTH chambers. Now, not so much.
2. But back to the idea this is a negotiation. It is not and there is only one side willing to work out a compromise. Democrats told their base this wall & those who support it are racists.

Now, they have put themselves in a box. They'd rather have a broken promise a 2020 issue.
3. I'll be joining Frank on Quite Frankly is a few minutes to discuss it. Tune in --> via @PoliticalOrgy

Have to be honest, the biggest lie tonight was told by Chuck Schumer. After all the hogwash. The lie was "we all support border security."

That's not true. Let's see if Glenn Kessler has the guts.
Second, if he wants to be as effective as he can be, Donald Trump should spend a lot more time in serious mode, like we saw tonight. Now to Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi...
Again, it always is very difficult to follow a president. But Schumer and Pelosi did not come across well, optically. They dismissed migrant human suffering and the deaths of Americans by calling it "manufactured."

They also appeared to concede the effectiveness of a border wall

Pretty historic news

Reestablishment of a Permanent Diplomatic Presence in Somalia

@drawandstrike @HNIJohnMiller @catesduane @rising_serpent @almostjingo @tracybeanz @TheChiIIum @hfinch63 @Quodverum_ @headsnipe01

On December 2, for the first time since the closure of the U.S. Embassy in Mogadishu on January 5, 1991, the United States reestablished a permanent diplomatic presence in Somalia.
This historic event reflects Somalia’s progress in recent years and is another step forward in formalizing U.S. diplomatic engagement in Mogadishu since recognizing the Federal Government of Somalia in 2013.

IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT WE, THE PEOPLE, NOTE THE TIME LAG IT TOOK FOR KHASHOGGI'S KILLING TO BE VETTED ON THE HILL.

Senators: Saudi Crown Prince Was Behind Killing Of Jamal Khashoggi n.pr/2Q9qBgU
2/ Jamal Khashoggi was killed on Oct., 20, 2018. Today, Dec. 4, 2018, CIA Director was able to address a small number of Congressmen. 45 days after the day he was killed. At the risk of seeming less than objective, I'd like to note the ominous nature of those 45 days.
3/ That's how long president 45 took to have us duly notified. That's how long he denied, blamed his (and our) Intelligence community, stopped communicating with the other branches of gov't (and us) while he, once again, vehemently denied the reports

Immigration & Customs Enforcement—more commonly known as ICE, is a law enforcement agency of the federal government of the U.S. tasked to enforce the immigration laws of the United States & to investigate criminal and terrorist activity of foreign nationals residing in the U.S.
ℹ️ICE has two primary components: Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO). It is an agency under the jurisdiction of Homeland Security and was established in 2003 following the 9/11 tragedy.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Immi…
ICE was designed to keep us safe from terrorists—for instance, the terrorists who took over the planes on 9/11 were living undetected in the U.S. for over a year.

Pls read this thoroughly before commenting. The Trump administration has corrupted this agency to do horrific acts.

Democrats are simply asking for action on the broad set of bipartisan priorities before the Congress:/1 #ABetterDeal #DemPartyPlatform #Democrats #DemForce #DemPriorities
Keep government open: While Republicans control the House and the Senate, and President Trump said earlier this year that ‘our country needs a good shutdown,’ Democrats want to keep government open./2
#ABetterDeal #DemPriorities #Democrats
Raise the caps: Democrats want a strong national defense. We also need an equal increase in our domestic budget, which includes critical national security functions and commitments to hard working families. #ABetterDeal #DemPriorities #DemsWork4USA
