But give us a clean DACA bill, universal (single payer) health care, and roll back those tax cuts, and we'll give you $10B for your stinking wall.

And of course when the inevitable takes place and Trump and Pence are surrounded by 4 impenetrable walls with no one Russian to get them out of jail alive, the new Dem president simply undoes the damage wrought by her predecessor, saying that we are using Trump's "destroy everything Obama created" as our template for change moving forward.
