While Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) remains dead set against new money for President Trump’s border wall, she’s also confident there will not be another government shutdown when the temporary funding runs out on Feb. 15, Politico reported.
During an interview with Politico on Wednesday evening, Pelosi said she doesn’t think Republican leaders in Congress will want to be dragged through the mud again after the month-long funding impasse. She told Politico she plans to support whatever plan comes out of bipartisan border security talks in coming days.
“There will not be another shutdown,” she told Politico. “I have a club that I started, it’s called the ‘Too Hot To Handle Club.’ And this is a too-hot-to-handle issue.”
Madam Speaker, i remain confident in your abilities to manage this situation, but being here on the outside looking in, something tells me not to underestimate the Dotard’s ability to throw another tantrum. That said, we’re rooting for you.
His hands are smaller than Madame Speaker’s lol.
Could Pelosi be taking a “please don’t throw me in that briar patch” approach, knowing who would be hurt worse politically by another shutdown?
She might be looking forward to the chance to beat the Republicans with the 'Too Hot To Handle Club.’
I think the Speaker is deftly pushing the “No Shutdown” train out of the station so others, including His Orangeness, can decide if they are on the train or off the train. It is a smart move in putting out the best narrative and isolating Donnie who tends to paint himself into a corner.
