Too bad this guy’s never been right about anything.
We can hope, though.

Trump: Not worried.My fellow racist Stevie will still vote for me. So will all of my neo Nazi/KKK supporters.

No, they won’t!

Idiot says what?

Unless Breitbart is building an ark for white nationalists, they will be sticking with Trumpp. It won’t take more than 1-2 tweets for them to scurry back under his white robe.

“Fiercely nativist views?” is that what we’re vicious stone racism now?

Later, King said he would still support Trump even if the President embraced a DACA deal. Even if, King said, “this thing collapses and they rollover the top of me with amnesty and the rule of law is destroyed and my life’s work is tossed over the side.”

I think they’ll goose step behind Trump no matter what. King says as much, pretty explicitly. This language really does seem fascist, and I mean in the 1930’s European sense.

Please tell us, Rep. King, where will the base go? To hell?

“The base will leave him”

Cool. Next up, let’s figure out how to make them leave the country.

Don’t worry, Steve. You’ll still be able to recognize and demean the dreamers - even the ones who might get amnesty. They’re the ones with the “cantaloupe calves”, remember?

“If anything, they ought to be at least pleading for it and not demanding it,” he said.

Similar to King's approach when wanting sex with his wife.

This whole thing is hilarious. Schumer, a wily fox and consummate New York schmoozer, can play Trump like a violin. I love the photo with all of them in the room: look at Schumer; he’s thoroughly enjoying himself. McConnell might be the evil genius of the Senate right now (yes, I admit it; he is) but Schumer has a definite personal advantage and he’s going to use it for all he’s worth. Republicans didn’t realize the extreme neediness of their man to be loved - by the right people, New Yorkers, NYT, in other words, the very people his base hate.

But Steve, we’ve always had a beautiful fence on the border with Eurasia.

Later, King said he would still support Trump even if the President embraced a DACA deal. Even if, King said, “this thing collapses and they rollover the top of me with amnesty and the rule of law is destroyed and my life’s work is tossed over the side.”

“I support almost every piece of the rest of his agenda except this amnesty piece that’s being
dangled out in front of America right now, and that’s so destructive to a first world country,” he said separately.

Wow - hyperbolic: vitriol, martyrism, sycophantism all in one statement. I declare Steve King (Reptile) grievance-king-of the day.

Two kick ass Democrats put out this statement. Wait for more howling from Iowa.

President Trump’s tweets are not inconsistent with the agreement reached last night. As we said last night, there was no final deal, but there was agreement on the following:

We agreed that the President would support enshrining DACA protections into law, and encourage the House and Senate to act.

What remains to be negotiated are the details of border security, with a mutual goal of finalizing all details as soon as possible. While both sides agreed that the wall would not be any part of this agreement, the President made clear he intends to pursue it at a later time, and we made clear we would continue to oppose it.

Both sides agreed that the White House and the Democratic leaders would work out a border security package. Possible proposals were discussed including new technology, drones, air support, sensor equipment, rebuilding roads along the border and the bipartisan McCaul-Thompson bill.

“Howl” is such an appropriate verb here.
