I'm tired of Republicans saying "the ball is in the Democrats court".

Negotiations and dealmaking happen with the government open. The court is closed and nobody is there to keep score.

It's dangerous to let Trump think that taking his ball and going home, and then not paying the court maintenance personnell and scorekeepers is how you win a tennis match.
