COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN INVESTMENTWATCH
"The Dems don’t want Trump to have a win on his signature policy, because they figure that will cement his re-election. Everything else is noise.”
Not quite.
It is not an overwhelmingly popular idea, the wall. And there are many sound arguments against it.
It is very important to his political base, though, but they are a minority, and you must remember he is a minority president.
And I think he might not even be able to secure the same minority because he has badly failed on much more crucial issues of peace and war, his views as expressed during the campaign having caused him to receive a fair number of crossover votes.
But because the wall is his signature issue, denying it to him puts him up for re-election looking weak and ineffectual.
Truth be told, that is exactly what he is, weak and ineffectual, beneath all the noise and bluster and bullying.
And just wait for him to help send the world’s economy crashing, something towards which he is working very hard. Herbert Hoover déjà vu.
