Queue Trump can't even spell chess comments in 3...2...
Didn't you guys did some big time gloating, when Trump denied Pelosi a military aircraft for her trip at the last minute. That made you guys day.

Just because he campaigned on it doesn't make it right or a popular idea.

It does seem that way, doesn't it?

He's stepping on the longest run of economic and job growth in our history. Running up the deficit. Legal system is coming to a standstill. ...

And the vast majority who oppose the wall are lefty liberals who haven't bothered to educate themselves on the effectiveness of the good walls. Many hire illegal aliens for profit, are bleeding heart liberals without a brain in their heads or have ethnic ties to illegal aliens so of course they don't want a wall to stop the flow of illegal aliens into our country. The Democrat congress critters are pandering to ethnocentric Hispanics who want the flow of their illegal amigos to keep coming in exchange for their votes and they also want to make future Democrats out of these illegal aliens. Their anti-American opinions mean nothing! Pelosi and Schumer are the ones throwing childish temper tantrums by not negotiating in good faith with Trump and putting illegal aliens above the safety and security of our own citizens.

Billions, and please don't hold me accountable for whaterver the Trump campaign dreams up. The pertinet point being, Trump campaigned on making Mexico pay a lump sum for the wall. Don't show up afterwards and pretend that it was always supposed to be a sort of investment with a projected break-even point in the future.

Lump sum from Mexico. That was the campaign. In writing.

Yup. Congress should not be bulldozed by a president.

And when I say that, I mean ANY president, including the ones I support.

It's not meant to work that way.

But, since he actually did concede to wait to deliver the address, you now get to basically portray him as weak and say things like he "bowed" to Pelosi. So, as usual, there is no right way for the president in the eyes of those who blindly oppose him. He will be painted in the worst light by them no matter what he chooses to do.

And referring to the part of your post I placed in bold, you are absolutely right. Trump cannot make her invite him to speak in the house. However, building on that, Mrs. Pelosi also cannot stop the president from delivering his address if he desires to do so. He could have simply chosen another venue from which to deliver his address. He did not do this because of Pelosi. He did this because he wants to deliver his address when the government is up and running again. Your spin is just that, spin. Rooted in nothing more than your personal disdain for the president.
I believe you are the one spinning. If he wanted to deliver his address when the government is up and running again, then why did he write a letter yesterday to Pelosi stating his intent to give the address on the original date, from the original venue? He did this BECAUSE of Pelosi's refusal.

That's what McConnell is protecting the president from. And yes, I absolutely blame him for putting politics before country.
McConnell has zero care for or allegiance to the USA.
