Have you been paying attention. Its not the Reps helping to hold things up, its just McConnell. You know, that guy who will not put any bills on the Senate floor because he is afraid to anger Trump base and put any GOP who might be coming up for reelection in 2020 in jeopardy. You have one person scared for his political life doing nothing because he doesn't want to see a 2/3rd vote send Trump veto to hell. We know the entire story about the 25 Billion dreamer package and we also remember when right wing media denounced it when Trump was considering the offer. In a hostage situation you care about the hostages but does that mean you give in to the demands. Why do you believe we have a policy to not negotiate with Terrorist in such situations. If you give in to one demand, then they will continue to repeat the same thing. The first step is for Trump to realize that waiting until budget time to make demands without giving anything in return is over. The Dems will not play that game and he will have to do his job if he wants anything. He played this scenario 3 times, at some point people stop falling for it. You can continue to absolve Trump of anything but as he stated he will own this shutdown and its up to him to end it. |
Mitch and only Mitch? I'm sure he's the only one who's against this... There's no way anyone else is keeping quiet because that's the thing to do today to save your livelihood. Their afraid to anger Trumps base, leading to the potential loss of the 2020 Presidency and Senate majority? It's almost like when somebodies boss tells them to do something, they actually follow orders, since they wish to please the boss and keep their job, and more importantly, the overall companies customers and shareholders.
So why was it that NK was constantly told to go fly a kite because of their threatening terrorist like ways before Trump, leading to the situation getting worse, but when Trump steps in and puts his foot down he is able to make progress with them? Good thing he didn't 'negotiate' in any manner because more peace is the last thing anyone needs..
Trump also just made a DACA offer and was told it doesn't matter what he offers, what he's asking for is insane and nothing will change that. Why do I keep hearing the Dems require something in return for the wall, if they are making it clear there is nothing that will change their minds? It's almost like a shutdown is being used as necessary leverage to get what's needed from a rock that won't budge.
