Or, you know, until the president is gone. Mid February? Or March?

Why don't you give us your name and we can get back to you in a few weeks and see how accurate you are. Until then, I will call you Vlad.

The majority of the Senate does not represent the majority of Americans. It’s a problem.

It’s a problem, to you, that each state has two United States Senators?

It's not consistent with the principles of One Man, One Vote to have California (population 39 million) have the same number of Senators as Wyoming (population 573,000). But then again DC (population 1.5 million) has no Senators at all, so....no one ever said the US democracy was set up in an optimal way.

It’s a problem when the House is limited in size from what it should be due to a bill from almost a hundred years ago when the population was way less than half of what it is now.

someone isn’t familiar with the Connecticut compromise, apparently.

Not surprising, given the generally cartoonish level of knowledge on display.

I can be familiar with the Connecticut compromise and it can be also true that the majority of the Senate doesn’t represent the majority of Americans. Both statements are simultaneously true.

Oh you poor Trumpkin, you are gonna be the last supporter who disbelieves the con man. Looks like you have Stockholm Syndrome with your thought abductor, the con man in chief. Good luck and hope you recover your faculties from the grip of the abductor fraudster.

You are right but the "CON"servatives don't understand reasoning and delude themselves that they actually understand the constitution. I bet a big majority of them can't pass the citizenship test if asked without preparation.

"One man one vote" means that each person gets one vote when choosing their elected officials. It doesn't mean each person gets "one vote" on whatever legislation Congress is considering.

Did Trump just proudly announce that today "we have more people working in the United States that has ever worked before"? What? Is this guy tone deaf???? He keeps repeating this over and over again during this ridiculous press conference.

Actually, the premise of “One man one vote” was established by Reynolds v. Sims, which dealt with discrepancies in population sizes of state legislative districts.

Understand, Trump's budget request was for $1.9B. He got that.

He never asked for $5.6B until December.

The whole thing is manufactured.

There is no way anyone should give into this. And for those of you supporting Trump on this sham, shame on you.

It will end when McConnell feels enough pressure and tells trump a vote will get to the Senate floor (which will open govt without any stupid wall). And McConnell won’t feel pressure until the other Senate Republicans pressure him for fear of losing their votes. Therefore, people need to do this: Call all the Republican Senators and let them know they will be kicked out if they don’t fix this.

Yes it will, GOP senators are slowly gathering their strength to act. There will never be a wall.
