He’s not looking for a solution, he’s seeking ego strokes.

To hell with them all.

Also if democrats aren't good enough to have lunch with why should they work with republicans?

A narcissist can't go long without some good old fashion "ass kissing", and he invited only the "best" as kisser to lunch!

...to figure out a campaign to ramp up pressure on McYurtle to go nuclear, since that’s the only way they’ll get their “YUGE win.”

This is why Dems shouldnt cater to Trump or his supporters. They arent looking for a solution, they're looking for a fight and a political victory. Anyone serious about doing whats best for the American people would have 3 or 4 of the highest ranking members from each party from each chamber in their trying to hash something out which both sides could stomach. Instead he's got a bunch of sychophants and GOP henchmen in their trying to figure out what their messaging is going to be for the Sunday shows. Screw 'em and their wall.
