So.. Trump just lost in a rout on his signature issue, the Wall, though his supposed signature strength, the negotiation. And not only was it a rout, it was the most highly visible political standoff of the last 25 years. I have a feeling we may see a break in the blind loyalty of his base, one that will be reflected in his approval numbers. Does anyone else agree?
He's just going to declare a national emergency when they don't reach a deal after this 3 week period. If they leave (which I don't believe they will), the base will be right back with him when he does this.
