Schumer already tried offering many millions that could have been used for both border security and wall, but only if DACA protections were included and Trump rejected the deal because his hardline rightwingers including Stephen Miller wouldn't allow the compromise.

Problem is, they have no leverage.

One would think the author of "Art of the Deal" would understand about negotiating from a position of weakness.

is the worst negotiator I've ever seen.

I'm sorry they like being called the "Freedom Caucus"

...so the only way to avert a shutdown is by enacting the current CR (including wall funding).

I suspect the Republican proposal is for thebSenate to first introduce and pass a DACA bill, then vote to pass the current CR as-is, with the intention that the Democratic-controlled House can then pass the DACA bill when it first convened in January.

…and then, of course, Trump vetoes that bill, having already gotten his wall funded. He wins, we lose.

Seriously, if Democrats are stupid enough to accept that “compromise,” we deserve to be the minority party.

0range45 and all the Repuke senators holding a pistols to the heads of hostages, with this message on the photo: "Trade hostages for money for "steel slates" wall or we kill these kids -- we mean it!!!"

offered before only to be pulled by McConnell. Please remember,this is pure GOP bill,zero dem input.
