1/ Ok, we won a battle today, not a war. The war continues. Hoist one or a few. But, we have a major engagement to fight Feb 15th. Who does McConnell put on that joint committee to negotiate with Team Pelosi on border security? What is the strategy of McConnell and Trump? Does
2/ McConnell concede there is no will for a wall and negotiate border security in good faith? Or, is he Trump's errand boy who demands money for the Trump Wall? What is the counter-strategy? I think Trump wants to play that he didn't cave, he just did a tactical retreat to
3/ regroup and re-arm, sort of a Leninist talk-talk-fight-fight strategy. Given that the right-wing is shitting all over Trump, expect his demand to be Wall or National Emergency. Counter-strategy? Prepare the battlefield. Democrats should be publicly laying out their proposals
4/ and budget for border security. They should hold hearings and show the DHS mile-by-mile assessment. They should invite academic experts on what is needed. In other words, pre-empt Trump again: no crisis; we are doing border security; DHS and experts agree; here is the budget
5/ on border security. The objective is to drive the narrative into the media, which really wants to sink bank into the drivel of racehorse and GameDay journalism. With public opinion on the side of Team Pelosi, you play to your strengths and Trump's weakness. And, you put
6/ every GOP senator in the target deck for 2020 by giving Team Schumer all the ammunition he needs. Trump and McConnell could walk into a double envelopment. Now, if only the nearly braindead CNN & MSNBC would stop talking to themselves and talk to experts, that would help.
