Democrats idiea of bi-partisan negotiations:Shutdown Day 17: White House, Dems disagree on definition of ‘negotiating’
seems to me that they couldn't negotiate so that's why it was shut down. why is reopening it going to change anything?
in any event, what i don't understand is back in 2006 hillary, obama and many on the left said yes, walls are needed. they just didn't want a LONG wall that stretched out in areas where it doesn't make sense. use drones and technology to also supplement this.
so why not go back to what they wanted in 2006 and say "we'll compromise and do this" - around 700-1000 miles of walls *and* technology THEN we follow up by working on DACA and why immigration got to be such a hassle next.
instead we've put ourselves in a collective position where we simply refuse anything but what we want, even if we don't want it but only NOW want it cause *THEY* DON'T want it. whatever it is.
our government's collective mental age is around 8.
"Give us everything we want and we'll leave you alone for 30 seconds.......then we'll make fun of you for years for caving into our ridiculous demands!!!"
That's what Bush Sr found out. They hammered him to raise taxes, then when he did, used it to campaign against him.
