Cracks on the Democrat Side

RUSH: I mentioned earlier that there are cracks in the Democrat coalition even now, that more and more Democrats are beginning to acknowledge the need for fencing and areas where a wall would be built.

Senator Jeff Merkley, Democrat, Oregon: “Some fencing has uses. Some barriers are useful.” Representative Cheri Bustos, Democrat, Illinois: “If we have a partial wall, if we have fence, if we have technology used to keep our border safe, all of that’s fine.” Representative Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat, New York: “There are areas along the border where there are currently fences that are put up or barriers that are put up that need to be enhanced.”

Senator Ben Cardin, Democrat, Maryland: “Certainly you need barriers, and we support barriers.” Senator John Sarbanes, Democrat, Maryland: “Certain physical barriers can make sense along the border, and a lot of places you already have that.” Representative Katherine Clark, Democrat, Massachusetts: “I think there are parts of border that would benefit from repairing fencing and other barricades that already exist there.” So let’s see. One…two..three..four..five… six Democrats now are acknowledging the usefulness and need for a wall. So it’s not total unity on the Democrat side.

And a lot of Democrats that won in November did so in Trump districts. There are people in those districts that voted for Trump who still want Trump to succeed even though they may have voted for a Democrat in the House race. So now the back to the Hill story. “Democrats Warm to Idea of Emergency Declaration to Reopen Government.”

Now, it says here: “The supportive Democrats are quick to emphasize they don’t believe the president has the legal authority to declare such an emergency, predicting the maneuver would quickly lead to lawsuits that they themselves would support.” A-ha! So the Hill gives up the game. They want the president to declare an emergency ’cause they don’t think he can and they want him shut down in the courts.
