Trump wants a wall, Democrats don’t! That’s fine, but it certainly isn’t a reason to shut down the government, and create so much hardship for many government employees?
The way I see it, the wall isn’t the issue, this is a battle between Nancy Pelosi and Donald Trump. Nothing more!
Trump says he wants to negotiate. So Democrats, NEGOTIATE!
Tell Trump you’ll give him the $5 Billion dollars for the wall, but Democrats want a permanent fix to DACA individuals. Tell Trump you’ll give him the $5 Billion dollars for the wall, but you want to pay for it through some sort of tax increases.
IOW, tell him you’ll give him the money, but you want something in return.
Now, if someone out there is going to tell me, Democrats have done that, then also tell me why Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer aren’t saying that.
Because right now, Trump has been saying Democrats aren’t willing to negotiate, and as far as I’m concerned, he’s right, and it is Democrats who are being obstructionists.
It’s time Democrats started playing the game like Republicans do, because unless they do, it is very likely they will lose all the gains the made in the 2018 elections.
And this is coming from a bleeding heart liberal!
