Why can't the Dems offer that or something else? It's their bill they want passed. When you bring an idea to your boss and they shoot it down, or say I would like this added to your plan, you don't blame them and tell them to figure it out themselves. You go back to the drawing board and come up with something else.

I believe you are missinformed. Trump is not Congress boss. They have equal stake in our government. Next, the Dems do not Trust Trump. We have been over this more than once. Trump words is garbage. They already tried to negotiate with Trump when they offered him 25 Billion for his wall but he let right wing media control him and his decision. When he was going to sign the 1.6 Billion for the wall his administration asked for he backed out because right wing media had a hissy fit. He has walked back multiple decisions when it doesn't please right wing media. So why go down that road again and get played.
As always you guys totally just dismiss Trump behavior for 2 years and believe everyone else doesn't have a memory. If he want his wall, his first step will be to stop holding the government hostage everytime he doesn't get his demand. We are on our 3rd shutdown, its time to move on from that game. First get the government going them actually do a proper negotiation with bipartisan support. Will he get everything he wants, probably not but then again its not like he is willing to give anything so we will see.

I wonder why the Reps are helping to hold things up? It's not because Trump is in charge, that's for sure. Power is distributed across the branches yes. They offered him 25 bil free and clear, no catch, and he denied it, but now only wants 5 bil? Sounds legit... I'm sure the media didn't accidentally forget to tell the entire story.
You really think when Trump put's the Gov and it's workers in 'such jeopardy', and the Dems still won't budge, even though they care so much about this particular issue, that if Trump backs off and re-opens operations, that the Dems will happily play nice? Give a Dem 25% and they'll start asking for 70%. Don't people remember and learn?
