Republican strategists and several conservative voters have said his flip-flop suits them perfectly.
"I'm glad he changed his mind," said 68-year-old Ann Sulliview, before a Republican Congress in Wayne County, where officials have stressed the need to maintain Republican control over the Senate and the Presidency. But, she conceded, "he was going to catch the flak for that anyway, he was going."
Patrick Gallagher, a Wayne County chiropractor, agreed. "We put him in power because he will help the Republican party," he said. "The fact that he changed his mind shows that he has thought about why he is here. He is not there to thwart what we are trying to accomplish. "
Potentially losing money for military projects, he acknowledged, "is not the best" for the state. But he said it was something that he and other conservative voters could accept for Mr. Trump and his wall.
"I think we would give up that to do the best," said Dr. Gallagher. "It's not the best, but we have to do it."
Republican legislators who voted against the declaration of national emergency found that this prevailed upon their return to their districts. Senator Roy Blunt, Republican of Missouri, was invited to a Republican dinner after her vote against the emergency declaration, Kansas City Star reported.
Cathy McMorris Rodgers, representative, told about twenty voters that her vote in favor of the disapproval resolution – "a tough vote for me," she repeated, was a vote against president trying to secure the funds taxpayers without congressional approval, not against a border wall. Some applauded his resolution, but others were not convinced of his support for Trump's vision of border security.
"I appreciate your vote, but I do not agree," said Kerry Schmidt, 62. "There are a lot of people fighting against this, where are people fighting for that?"
