Throws a tantrum when he doesn't get his way.

Why doesn't he just walk out of our White House and say, "I quit"?

Trump held a mtg with Cong. Democrats just so he could walk out. It’s the Pence-Indianapolis Colts move.

He's staked his entire political career on "the wall". If he goes down on this he will look weak and I've actually heard some conservatives I know say if he caves on this they're done with him. He knows if he loses even a fraction of his base he's not getting reelected in 2020. With Mueller coming on the horizon if he has support peel off on this he'll not have the support to win the inevitable fight in congress that's likely to come let alone reelection.

Each Monday in the House have a roll call vote for impeachment.

Each successive Monday have a list of lies and items that harm the American People and items where Trump has used the political process for his own ends, followed by a roll call vote from Impeachment.

Let the Senate do as it may until Trump is Convicted and removed.

IMO the current government shutdown in and of itself warrants impeachment. Let the sorry=ass GOP Senators show themselves until they do what is right for the USA.

Carry Trump out of the WH in a straight jacket if required.

Trump is used to bullying his way through things. Nancy Pelosi is not easily intimidated, and that frustrates Trump.

Notice his wording..."If they, (meaning Schumer and Pelosi) do not agree to what I want". Who in their right minds are going to agree to anything? Let alone meet?

It would be good to apply even more pressure somehow. Perhaps begin a countdown to impeachment. Every day he refuses to concede, gets him one day closer to a House impeachment.

so that he had room to come down in the negotiation?

I'll have to tell my wife that she's doing her negotiations as an attorney all wrong.

Fed workers nationwide will have nothing better to do than conduct sit ins in their Senator's offices. The GOP will face its destruction and will need to make a choice: survival or support Rump. We just need to keep the light on how badly Rump and the GOP are behaving in all of this.
