Trump, and republicans ONLY invite

Democrats into the discussions and debates, so they can blame them when they can’t get the votes needed.

Trump went so far as to televise the first meeting about immigration.

I’m hearing journalist now asking “will the Democrats shut down the government if they don’t get DOCA?”

Wouldn’t it be blame the republicans if DOCA doesn’t get support?

It made it easier to lie to their base, because 8 liars will outweigh 1 person telling the truth.
