Annoying Orange's wall will not be funded. I am 100% certain of that, for a few reasons: 1. Democrats will staunchly oppose it, and one of them will probably filibuster any budget that throws in funding for the wall. To overcome a filibuster requires a 'cloture' vote which needs 60 votes in the Senate. Republicans do not have 60 votes. 2. There are Republicans in more-liberal states who realize that funding a wall will alienate part of their constituency and decrease their chances of re-election. This is compounded by the fact that the president's party usually loses dozens of seats in the Senate and House. And those presidents weren't even Annoying Orange. 3. Annoying Orange says he'll shut down the government if his wall isn't funded, but he really can't afford to start alienating more Republicans when several Senate democrats are already talking impeachment. |
