Granted, he played cards like a mad man, took a stop gap but in the end surrendered. I'm not saying that was his fault, he found wall funding elsewhere but the showdown over the budget didn't come as he expected. <br /><brdevilmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00256049667739001018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1608697421187043479.post-17345136198568011732021-01-05T14:08:00.791-06:002021-01-05T14:08:00.791-06:00Good point re Pompeo.
