    Trump has been burned twice by congress that said we need a deal now and you get the wall later. He's not going to let them do that a third time.

    Trump's putting the ball in congress hands. Thats all he can really do. The ruling elites don't want Trump to get his wall so yeah it's a crap shoot here as to whether or not he can bully them into it.

    If he stands pat I think its a tossup

    To override his veto open border anti trumpsters need a super majority in both houses

    And I dont know if they can do that or not

    I certainly hope so. A government "shutdown" is certainly not a national emergency.

    He has a bank of operators answering calls and gathering info to pass along to whom it may concern outside the Oval Office

    Ideally the shutdown would continue at least until after the next election cycle in 2020.

    Maybe not, but if Trump is going to kick over the Legos, he ought to help pick them up.

    There are probably more than enough who would like to do that, but too many will not have the guts.
    Fully exposed RINOs are becoming unelectable.

    LOL! Trump supporters could not be more pleased with Trump and the "shutdown". His base is very secure now.

    You obviously did not read it. The Art of the Deal accurately portrays Trump as a aggressive negotiator who viciously attacks his critics and those who appose him.
    It not flattering. The 17 RP candidates and The Clintons should have read it as soon as Trump entered the race. At least they would have had a clue about who they were dealing with.

    Ah, so he’ll just get the vague sense that it’s what people want. So the usual.

    The RP establishment has become very repulsive to its own political base. Over 40 of them had to resign rather than face certain defeat in the last election.

    They do not call it "The Stupid Party" for nothing.

    The MSM and the rest of the political establishment have been declaring Trump dead every week since he announced his candidacy,

    Not good for their little credibility thingy. ;-)

    I'm not sure what the ruling class Republicans fear more, a shutdown or giving Trump his wall. Guess we will find out.
