Losing 'bigly': Nancy Pelosi's bid to override President Trump's veto on halting the wall fails

Nancy Pelosi is actually the most popular Democrat among Democrats, owing to her perceived capacity to fight and win against President Trump, particularly over the border wall issue.

She did achieve in fact, a government shutdown for more than a month in her bid to halt a desperately needed border wall as the migrant surge sends tens of thousands of unvetted illegal immigrants into the country with as many as five million on the way.

Legalizing the DREAMers would have been an actual victory for her, and she threw it away in her kitchen-sink bid to halt Trump's wall.

As Democrats cheered that, Trump then did what he said he would do, which was declare a national emergency at the border.

Now we're at strike three, Nancy Pelosi's bid to congressionally forbid the construction of a wall, which Trump vetoed - and Pelosi attempted to override it from Congress.

House lawmakers failed Tuesday in their bid to overturn President Trump's first veto, effectively upholding his declaration of a border emergency and leaving him with a free hand to build more of his border wall.

The 248-181 vote fell far short as Republicans brushed aside Democrats' rhetorical challenge and said the border situation was every bit the crisis that Mr. Trump described.
