[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read the article about negotiating with Jello. It is spot on. Trump said in the staged White House meeting that he wanted to deal with DACA, that he would sign a bill with love that dealt with the issues.

Graham-Durbin checked the boxes that the president requested.

The president rejected the proposal.

Schumer gave more than Graham-Durbin and the president agreed. Until he didn't.

Now the GOP is taking a hard line of no negotiations until the democrats agree to fund the government. That is NOT what the President said on live television on January 9th.

When the goalposts keep getting moved, you cannot negotiate in good faith. At this point, even Graham and other GOP are frustrated because the took the high road and negotiated in good faith to arrive at an acceptable solution only to be Giloolied by Trump.

By the same token, McConnell could easily have brought Graham-Durbin to the floor and put the issue at the feet of the President, but McConnell wasn't willing to do that either.

So no, at this point, regardless of the core issues, this all falls squarely on the GOP who control all three players in this and have a responsibility to be good actors in running our government.

The majority of Americans see through this and it will only make things worse as the GOP digs in.[/quote]

Trump is a flip-flopper and should never be trusted or believed.[/quote]
