While President @realDonaldTrump drags the nation into Week Two of the #TrumpShutdown and sits in the White House and tweets, without offering any plan that can pass both chambers of Congress, Democrats are taking action to lead our country out of this mess.

WILL the sheer ugliness of Trump in the 2020 campaign turn off voters outside of his base?
The reason I'm asking is because of his reaction to Elizabeth Warren declaring her intention to run. You've probably seen it. if you haven't, I'm not going to post it here.
My question is do you think the American voting public...NOT COUNTING the red hats...will sit home and watch Trump try to outdo the slime he threw in the primaries for 2016? Will the 2020 presidential election ALSO be a referendum on Trump, and will his behavior send votes to the Democrats in another "blue wave?"

BREAKING: House Democrats have prepared six bills that would reopen the government. They plan to pass all of them on Thursday night. It is then up to the Trump and the Republican Party to do their jobs, for once. It does not include any funding for a wall. Not one dime. Good.

Reporter catches Trump in a bald-faced lie about being in the Oval Office
Reporter catches Trump in a bald-faced lie about being in the Oval Office
https://www.rawstory.com/2018/12/busted-reporter-catches-trump-bald-faced-lie-oval-office/
President Donald Trump on Monday morning claimed that he was sitting inside the Oval Office waiting for Democrats to come to him with a deal for funding his proposed border wall.
Im in the Oval Office, the president wrote. Democrats, come back from vacation now and give us the votes necessary for Border Security, including the Wall.
However, Playboy White House correspondent Brian Karem was at the White House on Monday and he caught the president blatantly lying about being in the Oval Office.
Specifically, Karem noticed that there is currently no Marine standing guard outside the Oval Office door, which means that Trump is simply not where he said he was.
No marine there so thats another lie, Karem remarked.
