President Trump: Brilliant Move with Pelosi---Now Stay the Course As Long As It Takes, Whatever the Cost

ROGER L SIMON:  MAY THE SHUTDOWN GO ON FOREVER
MORE @ POWERLINE

POLITICAL THEATER AT ITS BEST.

Greg Gutfield @ Fox weighs in.  (Sorry, link isn't working.) Yes, President Trump could take his SOTU to the people in Middle America who elected him. Or he could tweet it.

Whatever comes next, Trump needs to stay the course, stay the course, and stay the course indefinitely, until the border security issue gets handled.  Backing down now would be a disaster on all levels for America  and his presidency.

One more thing: It doesn't matter if he is a one or two-term president. He needs to focus on now, on taking care of the American people's border security concerns and the wall. Come. What. May.

Trump has got what it takes. He's got the guts. He's got the ego. He can take a stand and hit after hit letting the chips fall where they may. He's my definition of a true leader.

Markets approve.
