M.O.B. Votes:

campaign statements as promises. The reason we vote for them. They cannot be violated or changed for the sake of expedience.

Or negotiation. It would not be OK, in my opinion, if Trump decided to negotiate away his promise to build the wall.

The quisling Paul Ryan has already said he wants to push funding for the wall into next year to avoid a government shutdown. That's what establishment Republicans do.

It would not be OK for Trump to say that in order to get tax reform or Obama care Repeal, negotiated away funding for the wall.

Please explain why this message is being reported.
