At a press conference Thursday evening, Pelosi and the House Democratic leadership told reporters of their plan to reopen government by passing Republican bills to fund agencies other than Homeland Security, and to put off the DHS negotiation for a month.
But one reporter couldnt resist taking another shot at negotiating a compromise on Trumps behalf, and asked Pelosi, Is there any situation that you would accept even a dollar of wall funding for this president in order to reopen the government?
A dollar? Pelosi asked, to laughter from the reporters. A dollar? Yeah, one dollar.
How high are you willing to go? Are you willing to spend the reporter said.
No, you said a dollar, you said a dollar, Pelosi interrupted. Thats not your question, you said a dollar, Im answering your question.
The fact is, a wall is an immorality, Pelosi continued. Its not who we are as a nation. And this is not a wall between Mexico and the United States that the president is creating here, its a wall between reality and his constituents, his supporters.

Absolutely brilliant. That right there is more insight and understanding in two seconds on the spur of the moment than Trump has ever and will ever have for his entire life.
One small change: I think calling his base his "constituents" implies a relationship that doesn't exist. Trump couldn't give a shit about the people who voted for him. I think his "base" is the better term. Applied to his hard core supporters, it's both a noun AND an adjective.
