This is the once great and mighty negotiator in action.

The curtain has been pulled back.

No Daca, nothing.
He shouldn't have to offer. He has stated clearly what he wants and he won't budge. Now it's time for the left to grow a pair and make demands too. Man the left has become so weak lately; you just said "he hasn't allowed us to talk about anything but the wall boo hoo." Grow a pair a d make your own demands FFS. This is BASIC negotiations.

You don't get if you don't ask and they aren't even asking. Do you really support politicians who don't take every single opportunity to push their own agenda? This is a gigantic missed opportunity, pure foolishness.

Roughly 40% of voters consider themselves independent voters: more than people identify as Democrat or Republican (roughly 30% for each party). https://news.gallup.com/poll/225056/...back-2017.aspx



Even they have made up their minds about certain issues though. It doesn't matter what political party the are affiliated with.

Not sure if the people who were found with these were terrorists, but it appears TSA is stopping something.

Evidently Pelosi's pair pissed him off today. He walked out of the meeting.

I don't know of a single member here on CD nor one Dem who doesn't want it. Trump supporters just refuse to hear that.

Trump got tired of winning and decided to try whining instead.
