Coulter: ‘No question' Pelosi outplayed Trump
2019-01-27
[The Hill] Conservative firebrand Ann Coulter late Friday continued to blast President Trump's decision to end the 35-day partial government shutdown without securing funds for a border wall, saying he was outmaneuvered by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

"We thought, ’Hey, maybe this guy’s wacky enough, he won’t care what the elite say, and he’ll build the wall.’ That was what put him in the White House. He has got to build the wall," Coulter said on Los Angeles radio station KNX.

"There’s no question but that Nancy Pelosi got the better of Donald Trump."

Coulter on Friday afternoon called Trump "the biggest wimp ever to serve as President of the United States" after he announced that he would support reopening the government with obtaining funds for a border wall.

The immigration hard-liner has repeatedly pushed Trump to immediately start construction on a wall and she said shortly before the shutdown began in December that she would not vote for Trump again in 2020 without a border wall.

#12  Wars are not one or lost in one battle... Unless you are a fanatic and try to plug up the enemy's cannon with your soldiers' bodies. Pelosi "Won" this one, now what can she "Win" from that Victory?

#9  Yes, ideological purity in theory and practice. Fine for those who are paid to subvert the practicalities of everyday life for us poor schmucks.

Ann Coulter, who's in your wallet?

#8  With Coulter taking pot shots at Trump about nearly everything, she might as well be a Rino or Dem.

#7  Nancy Pelosi did come out ahead, at least in the short term. But she had a far stronger hand, controlling the branch of government that initiates and has final say over finance bills. The President can't force Congress to finance anything. That's just how it works. Taking it further would have been a good thing, in my opinion, because it would have readied the country for a talk on how we need to get government out of all of the stupid and controlling activities it is in, but it would have given everybody in the country a lot of short term pain because the government has wormed its way into controlling so many productive industries in this country. Even new freaking beer labels have to be approved by the government. As long as the conversation was going to stay about the wall and not about how much government we have, we couldn't beat Nancy Pelosi with the hand we had been dealt.

#6  Lee out played Grant at Spotsylvania, the Wilderness, and at Cold Harbor too. Lee's problem was that Grant didn't give up like his predecessors and go back to the swamp. He keep dogging Lee. We all know how that story turned out in the end. Let's see if Trump keeps dogging.

#5  And Trump thought he got rid of all the nagging women after his two divorces.
