5. Why doesn't Nancy Pelosi go on national TV and tell everyone why she's not funding the wall?

The Cato Institute is against the wall. Why hasn't that information been more widely disseminated?

Pelosi went on national TV and claimed the wall is "immoral," which is far too subjective a reason and appeals to people morals rather than their intellect.

Trump announced his plan to the nation. Where was the Democrats' rebuttal?

The people who support the wall do so based on their emotions -- mainly of fear, hatred, and prejudices, and you're not likely to change their emotions. They also support it out of loyalty to Trump. They'd support a ban on guacamole if that was Trump's position.

What Democrats don't understand is that their arguments need to be short and simple. If it can fit on a bumper sticker, that's even better.
