GOV?T SHUTDOWN -- THE DYNAMICS: President Donald Trump would like Congress to fund the border wall in the government-funding package this week. The reality is quite simple: Trump needs Democrats to pass a funding measure, and Democrats are opposed to the border wall, so the White House is almost certain to lose this fight. HOW TRUMP CAN GET A WIN: If he settles for an increase in spending on surveillance on the border -- drones and the like. That would allow Trump to say he?s beefing up border security before the wall is built. And it would be a tough thing for Democrats to oppose.
