22. Trumpers already thought that. They didn't need a DEM pointing it out.

That just focuses attention and anger at the Dem.

When you attack the chief, the troops circle the wagon to protect him.

Best to stay out of it, except to say the bill is good for the country and the people in many ways. And then smile.

That's what Schumer did. Trumpers know what that means. If a Dem likes it, it's terrible.

Look at Breitbart and read the comments. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/03/23/donald-trump-signs-bloated-1-3-trillion-omnibus-bill-military-funding/

You’ll also be glad to know that Congress gave themselves a great big fat raise in the Omnivorous Spending Bill.

Right, I got 3% raise this year, and a little tax break.

Oh he is right, his presidency just came to a screeching halt, he can GFH!!! All done with the Trump train, just got run over by it!!

DUMP TRUMP!


and

Trump really let us down today. With all due respect to the military, people were not shouting "Build the Military" at his rally's, they were shouting "BUILD THE WALL". Swamp dwellers McConnell and Ryan finally did it. They figured out how to split Trump's base and bring him down.

Go ahead. Impeach Trump. I don't care anymore. Just primary any Republican who voted for this.


and
He will get the votes that he was mostly going to get anyway from the military but how many votes did he just lose. He will damn sure know what a deficit is come 2020 when he has one concerning the votes he gets.
Wall - let us down
Immigration - let us down
Healthcare - let us down (Still a huge frigging mess)
Spending - let us down
Me in 2020 - Will let him down (Your Fired)


and

The democrats thank you for your support...


and on and on. Those are far-righters. They're hopping mad and ready to turn on him. Dems do NOT need to get in the middle of that fight and turn the anger onto the Dems. The anger is directed right where it should be.
