Stirewalt: I’m Skeptical Trump’s Going to Go Along with CR to Fund the Gov’t

‘If you don’t shut down the government over the wall now, what’s the point of shutting it down in January when you have less leverage to succeed?’

EXCERPT:

STIREWALT: "We are going to keep doing it every three months for the duration of divided Government, if this is how poorly they can do it before they even change hands. Imagine how bad it will be when the Democrats sincerely, genuinely have control of the House. I am skeptical the President is going to go along with this. The last time he did this, his base got very very owly, they did not like it. He said, never again. If you don’t shut down the Government to get the wall, this is an abstract concept of the wall. I think he means border security. If you don’t shut down the Government over the wall now, what’s the point of shutting it down in January when you have less leverage, and you're less likely to succeed?"
