Think about it, they think anyone on the left is stupid. Look at the way they talk about the left, like we're all a bunch of brain dead suckers. SO, they think we are buffoons who can easily be taken advantage of. . . . I wonder how long it will take him to get up to speed on who the real stupid party is.

Somehow, they never seem to notice the glaring contradiction between the two.

(52,267 posts)All he's trying to do is convince the foxnews audience that he's the reasonable one and it's the democrats who are being unreasonable by rejecting all his "wonderful" "compromises".

(42,283 posts)DACA and TPS are tied up in the courts right now; they aren't really something he can "give". It's posturing on something even members of his own party want.
To properly negotiate, you have to offer something the other side wants AND can't achieve without you. He doesn't get that.

(10,885 posts)He throws out these insufficient offers (to correct what he destroyed in the first place) so that he might then claim "those nasty Dems won't negotiate and don't care about the country". Nice try, asshole. Any thinking person has no trouble seeing through your machinations.
The shutdown was not and is not the Dem's fault, no matter how many times you make the claim.
