republicans in the senate and they are the ones narrative because they are in the majority. i said what your going to do if you actually do reach a deal that you like, that you think brings some money for border security that will make a difference but it's not what the president wants? are you willing to break with him or tell the democrats we got to do something else because the president doesn't like it. they don't know what they will do. they don't want to break the president because they are fear of crossing the republican base and trump has a hold on them and they are not going to let go. they have a hold on him. this relationship will not break. on the other hand they don't want another shutdown situation and very wary of this national emergency thing. they are going to end up having to vote on it because nancy pelosi and the house will run a resolution ever disapproval. it will pass the house and under the rules the senate has to take it up. then they have to decide again do we break with the president or do we endorse this idea of expansive presidential powers
