Someone should start running independent ads HAMMERING Democrats in more conservative districts/states for stiffing Trump's reasonable wall funding/border security requests, no? (Or is this already going on?)

ROPE-A-DOPE strategy in action: If shutdown causes an acute problem, fix it! Allows shutdown to run a loooong time as Dem anti-wall obsession looks increasingly unreasonable. (Contra conventional advice that Trump should heighten the contradictions to ratchet up pressure) https://t.co/yEsnL6E7Bl

TODAY'S CW: OMG, Trump's obsessed with the Wall! It won't work! It's racist! It's not needed! Shutdown! Feds going without pay!

Trumps' actual border proposal for this budget cycle is a perfecltly reasonable package you could easily see Obama or Clinton proposing a few years ago. Pelosi/Schumer opposition to it should seem more unreasonable as shutdown drags on https://t.co/adxlDEMDei

Trump: I want an impenetrable concrete wall.
Dems: Can't have it. Must use existing steel designs.
Trump: OK, OK, we'll do steel.
Dems: Trump's steel designs can be cut through! His wall won't work! https://t.co/NPcNuCHBzO— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey) January 10, 2019
