If anybody ‘caves’ on the Wall, it will be congressional Republicans

Now that the Trump administration is signaling that it is looking through his Cabinet departments for available funds to build the border wall, there’s talk Trump’s caving.

Fact is, he’s giving congressional Republicans the time to work out how to join with him on border-wall funding legislation…a President’s job politically is to help his Party win.

But, if enough Republicans can’t be found to push a project through, President Trump’s top priority is national security; controlling our southern border falls within that priority.

If the GOP signals it believes it doesn’t have the willpower or constituent support to go along with the President’s agenda, and a shutdown would hurt them, he’ll do what he can to protect their status by not forcing Congress to do it’s job, and fund another way.

A wall will be built…with the help of Congress, or without their help.
