re: How is Pelosi helping the Dems by not negotiating?

She may have won the battle (Postponing the SOTU) she has already lost the war and probably doesn't realize it.


Trump will eventually give a SOTU after the government opens. (Constitutional requirement and all) Now all he has to do is get wall funding then rake Nancy over the coals for not negotiating in good faith and negatively impacting gov workers. He'll talk about the democrats not being serious and taking or trying to take vacations while the government was shut down. (Until he shut them down) He will probably even thank her for coming to her senses and realizing her previous opinions and votes on the border wall were correct. (Talk about how they were for it before he wanted it then they were suddenly opposed) You will hear about every crime committed by an illegal alien. (4000+ murders etc) Nancy is going to have to sit there and take it while he does this in front of a national audience.
