Heading into the 3rd week of the government shutdown over border wall funding, I think it would be wise to see who has the edge in the current negotiations between Trump and the Democrats. It may seem like a total deadlock, but there are three factors which give Trump and his supporters a slight edge. So let’s take a look at the three big reasons Trump has a political advantage in this deal. And just…

Well, it happened yet again and politicians still haven’t learned this simple lesson. When you go on TV immediately after the President, you will always look like a runner-up, a second fiddle.

So who would have ever thought that bump-stocks would be the issue that causes cracks in Trump’s base? I know there are strong opinions on the recent announcement of a bump-stock ban and many Trump supporters are angry, and they have a right to be.
