[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Schumer and Pelosi did a dumb thing not turning up today ........ yes, the meeting with Trump was no more than a photo op but he and the Republicans will play it up as them being unwilling to even meet on urgent business.

Agreed. They painted themselves into a corner by saying -- we won't go, we'll meet with Ryan/McC instead. And then Ryan/McC say, there's a meeting at the White House, we're going, if you want to participate, see you there. At that time they should've put their tail between their legs and gone. The administration (and perhaps all of them) are all about optics and republicans don't want a shutdown bc it'll hurt 2018 elections. Well it's less likely to hurt when you can say -- Dems wouldn't even come to the meeting, what else could we do -- complete with the photo opp of empty chairs. They can count on the fact that Joe Schmoe in their home district isn't thinking so hard about this and saying -- well you had the majority, you could have come together and voted around the Dems, he's just watching the commercial with the empty chairs.[/quote]
Few people other than hardcore Trumpkins are going to buy this. Pelosi and Schumer were right not to go.[/quote]
