When the media or people come out, and say the Democrats "need" to compromise, I hope that the

Democrats come out and remind these people who have such convenient memories that McConnell and the republicans REFUSED to let President Obama nominate his rightful SC justice, and the way President Obama was treated by the republicans for 8 years.

2. You are right, but Pelosi controls it because we have the majority in the HOUSE

9. Yup & I'm glad Nancy is in charge...surely she knows the negative consequences if she compromises

with that asshat and his fellow rethuglicon brownshirts on building even one foot of an immoral wall.

We have to let her know that we have her back!!

14. Agreed 100% both for reasons of fairness and practicality

Fairness: quid pro quo applies here. S.O.B.s treated our guy (Obama) like crap and refused even to speak with Merrick Garland, so screw them.

Practical: Give in to Individual-1 on this and, obviously, without a doubt, he will use the same tactics again and again. America does not negotiate with terrorists or whiney toddlers: simple as that.

17. Right back at you!!

3. What media people are saying the Dems

need to compromise? Are the Pundits saying that? Oh, never mind, I just remembered Chuck Todd.

6. There was a post earlier that had Tulsi Gabbard with Jake Tapper saying "both sides were wrong"

10. Fuck Chuck!! He's one of the last people I'd look to for political advise.

4. First, the government must reopen.

Then, we’ll talk.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

11. Open the government, yes...talk, no. What's there to talk about? Not one dime for an immoral wall!!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

5. the arguments against the wall do not depend on the past

How President Obama was treated by McConnell and the GOP have nothing to do with why the wall should not be built.

The wall is stupid, destructive and a waste all on its own.

7. Haven't the Dems (and all of Congress, actually) already put forth several bills

to end the shut down? Trump stood fast and then came up with a plan and then accused the Democrats of not compromising.

Impeach the Mother Fucker!

8. They have to start the investigation first. The Mueller report won't be out for six months

[ZeroSomeBrains]

12. The networks knows which party is better for their bosses

Think of the way the media treated Paul Ryan. It's always about finding the mythical "moderate Republican" when no conservative politician in the last 20 years have provided any tangible benefits to poor or working class people. And then they're even worse for people of color.

13. BTW, Tulsi, here it is from Trump himself as to who is to blame for the shutdown:

15. To quote DUer Voltaire2, "It is about trying to nullify the midterm election."

3. It is about trying to nullify the midterm election
If the Republicans can compel the house to pass legislation they would otherwise oppose, the election was nearly irrelevant.

16. Indeed.
