Has the Shutdown which is based on funding for the border wall hurt or helped President Trump’s popularity?

Denizens of the political left, self-anointed guardians of compassion and justice, are spewing hatred and venom these days.

What did the 2018 midterm elections tell us about American politics, the health of the Trump presidency, and what to look for in the new year?

"Instead we’re getting waves of people with high school educations or less. Nice people, no one doubts that, but as an economic matter this is insane. It’s indefensible, so nobody even tries to defend it. Instead our leaders demand that you shut up and accept this. We have a moral obligation to admit the world’s poor, they tell us, even if it makes our own country poorer and dirtier and more divided." This is what Tucker Carlson of the Fox News Channel said on December 13 about some immigrants to the United States coming through our southern border.
