Plus, the dems know his weakness now too.

I dont know, maybe because they want to accomplish something good for the country?

I know, it’s far fetched.

Border security was always up for debate. In fact, that was a big part of a deal offered last year.

Congress doesn't have the votes to override anything Trump vetoes. Trump is large and in charge. Watch and learn

Really? I don't recall the Democrats offering a single legislative package during the entire partial government shutdown.

Please provide a link that shows the border security plan Democrats proposed during the shutdown.

So, Trump has put the onus on the Democrats by agreeing to reopen the government. The question is, will Congressional Democrats negotiate in good faith on border security? It hasn't happened yet.

Will Trump negotiate in good faith or will he have another temper tantrum when he doesn't get his precious wall and shut down the government again?

I guess you forgot the $1.3 billion border security bill Dems passed in January that was the same amount that was passed by both the Republican controlled House and Senate back in December.

Trumps not done. He's already planning on the next shutdown coming up. To him its a deal to make. Like in his book. His book is how to screw people and come out ahead. He's still at it. Not caring about the people he hurts along the way.

Well, they have no motivation to 'negotiate' now, Trump blinked and showed his hand, its all down hill for the dems now, they can get anything they want from him.


Once a side knows the others weakness and what makes them blink/cave, why would they need to negotiate with him?
