Forget about Liberals, Republicans themselves don't support it.
The fiscal Conservatives don't support it because it's costly, and corporate Republicans don't support it because their overlords in business are addicted to the cheap / illegal labor.
If you think that it is only Republican business owners who like the cheap labor you're badly mistaken. The Democrats are just as guilty of it.
If Republicans (who were never on board with The Wall in the first place ) refused to fight for it in this budget, they're never going to....
You might think "it'll be in next year's budget".... Really? In an election year you think the cowardly, weak-kneed, easily frightened Republican establishment is going to risk a fight with the Democrats that could shut the government down?
There's only one hope left for The Wall, and that's if Republicans can gain enough seats in 2018 to get a supermajority, which historically speaking, is unlikely.

Liberals don't want the wall and neither do conservatives. Racist and Xena phobia about the wall, but they don't have the political capital to get it done.
What's racist or xenophobic about wanting to secure our border?

The Wall is officially dead. Not gonna happen.
We've been telling you guys for over a year now there isn't going to be any wall. It was all smoke and mirrors by the greatest con man in the world. But you guys BELIEVED.
$20-25 billion for a wall vs the $113 billion a year costs for supporting illegal aliens. What to do, what to do? Why the objection to completing the 700 mile long wall along the most porous areas of our border already approved by congress in 2006? Yes, it's already proven to work.

Your subject headline is misleading. You imply it was only Liberals who didn't want the wall and then in your first sentence you acknowledge Republicans didn't want the wall either.
So it wasn't Liberals who won -- it wasn't anybody who won really.

That 113 billion number makes no sense. There are estimated only be between 11 and 14 million illegals -- think about what that means is being spent per person.

The numbers don't add up.
He knows. He's been called out on that bogus number again and again and again. But you can be certain he will use it again in his next post. He's told this lie so many times he probably believes it's true now.
