Dems: don't cave...

...let 2020 begin; billionaires dig deep...

Vox, 1-10-2019

" There’s one critical question in any political negotiation: What do the two sides want? Democrats’ view is fairly clear: They want to reopen the government and then let negotiations over any additional requests for wall-building to proceed on a separate track. Trump, by contrast, insists the government must stay closed until he gets his way.

But what is it he wants, exactly? Trump can’t quite say. He seems to acknowledge that he is not going to build the 2,000-mile wall he campaigned on by asserting that if the particular patch of border he is standing in front of was walled, then Border Patrol personnel could redeploy elsewhere. But how much wall are we talking about? And where? And at what cost? Trump doesn’t know. "

...we know what we want,

"Democrats’ view is fairly clear: They want to reopen the government and then let negotiations over any additional requests for wall-building to proceed on a separate track."

...and what does trump want?

"Trump can’t quite say."

...if we cave now over this relatively minor disagreement there'll be no end to us caving to trump when the big stuff hits the fan...let trump declare his national emergency and steal needed money from the Pentagon, then slam his every move in the courts...tie every puke defending MAGA Man to every unpatriotic action he takes...how?

...we need nationwide campaign-style ads to hit the airwaves and social media NOW, blasting MAGA Man and his defenders for destroying the fabric of our country and needlessly disrupting the lives of millions of patriotic Americans...

...let all the billionaire wanna-be's in our Party pay for this ongoing nationwide anti-trump campaign...trump and his bogus wall is nothing more than 2020 campaign fodder for his base...2020 is here!

...that's my opinion, what do you say?...

checks to the really needy furloughed workers in their home states. But since most of them don't even want to pay taxes for their on benefit, I guess that is a silly wish.
