Nah, Mexico reimburses us for it when we threaten to shut down their economy via a new NAFTA agreement.

They've already made a downpayment, too, thanks to Chrysler/Fiat.

That's going to be some shite right there! They (Dems, Canada and Mexico) are going to scream to the heavens over NAFTA.

that one negotiating tactic he would use for a particular difficult counter-party is he would arrive at the negotiating session 30 minutes late, walk into the room where everyone was standing around waiting for him, go over to the the lead negotiator of the other side, poke him in the chest and say, "frick you!"


That's awesome

He can’t negotiate until the Democrats give a counter offer. At this point their answer to funding CHIPS is no. They added nothing new to the bill. You walk away when there is no counter. You hear the counter offer. You don’t have to agree to it. You can still counter.

The Republicans have been bidding against themselves for 20 years.

Trump set the terms and the narrative. He needs to hold firm until they counter.

What if Schumer agrees to $1M for the wall? Trump refuses because that only builds 5 miles of wall. Schumer gets on TV "We offered him funding for the wall and he turned it down."

The problem for the Dems is there is absolutely nothing that they could offer that would make me give the DACA illegal immigrants a way to vote outside of military service. I hope Trump and smart republicans agree with me. So i don’t see how this is ever resolved.

I'm pretty sure that's not on the table for this shut down vote.

Schumer has said he offered the wall . But he didn’t say how much of the wall he offered.

Pretty sure it was in full. I won't link the CNN article I read this morning, but it's out there.

Offer amnesty to DACA but they and any others that have received amnesty in the past can never vote and never receive welfare of any kind.
