[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good luck getting 70 senators. Despite what you believe, people in this country do want a wall and border security. Senators know this.[/quote]

Except a majority of Americans do NOT want a border wall. So no.[/quote]

I am not so sure. There has been only one candidate whose opening remarks were building a wall, and that guy won the election on his first try.[/quote]

And lost the popular vote by more than 3 million and got historically crushed in the midterms. He is only President because of the Electoral College. But no, the majority of Americans overwhelmingly oppose spending money on the wall. Remember, Trump campaigned that Mexico was going to pay for it. So why are our Federal employees being squeezed?[/quote]

We don't have a system of electing president by popular votes. R expanded its senate majority in the midterms. There is no definitive answer as to whether a majority of Americans want a wall. The only things are definitive -- Trump is the president, R controls the senate, and D controls the house. It appears 2/3 wants a wall. [/quote]
We don't have system where the President + one House of Congress overrules the other House.

And as for what the majority want, they have polls for that.  Polls do in fact provide definitive answers on what the majority of people want.

We don’t have a system where the House refuses to acknowledge reality.  30 House Democratic centrista want Nancy to negotiate.  She should listen to them. [/quote]
