Vision of border security? what does that mean? lets get away from the emotionalism for a second. both sides are really stoking up their bases with this issue. which is what makes it less solvable. if she believes there should be border security, if she believes in the type of sovereignty she advertised in the past, what does that mean? she has to spell it out. she is no longer a reactor. its much more fun to be the minority part where you just react to everything. >> she is in charge now. >> th...

Fight. the wall as a political issue has always been much more about the president and much more about his hard core bases represented by the house republicans, and on the senate side, a widespread agreement for the need of border security, and perhaps the need for some type of barrier, but this is not the hill they want to die on so to speak. and so to keep the government closed has a real effect on some of the republican senators, but whether anyone is going to go as far as what jeff flake tri...

Democrats perspective believe that they have the political winning hand, that their bases are behind them, that their rank and file is behind them. and at this moment, nobody is willing to blink. now, keep in mind, there are staffers here on capitol hill in both chambers, on both sides of the aisle that have gone through many of these fiscal crisis before and have many ways to the lead thread the needle and get themselves out of them if their leaders will allow them to do that. and the reality h...
