But let's talk about wall funding. The president just had a press conference with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer in which they started sort of negotiating in public in front of the press. And Nancy or Schumer said, you know, let's not negotiate in front of the press, blah blah blah.

Now if you're not up to date on what the problem is with the wall funding, I would like to explain it to you in a two-person skit in which I will play President Trump and the part of everybody else. Nancy and Chuck Schumer will be played by Dale. And it goes like this: We need strong border security. I will shut down the government. I also want strong border security. Well I want strong border security. I want strong border security and I'll give you money for it. Well I want money for strong border security. Oh yeah, I'm shutting down the government for that. You're not gonna get money for strong border security. Instead what we've offered you is money for strong border security. If you don't, I'm gonna shut down the government. Or something like that.

Now of course this substantive conversation about border security has really turned into an argument about whether they can or cannot use the words "wall." I suppose if you call it a defense everybody would be happy. But the Democrats can't allow the president to have a political victory.
