Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., delivered a message to President Trump on Monday morning about Congress' sensitive negotiations over a spending bill that must pass by Friday.

That message: Butt out.

"It's my view that if the president stepped out of it, we could get a budget done by Friday," Schumer said on a conference call with reporters.

"Totally agree," Pelosi said. "We were on the path to get it done until he did intervene."

Schumer called the wall a "monkey wrench" the president threw into the process, bungling an agreement between the parties.

The past 8 years proves Congress knows nothing about Budgets so someone has to take charge

Schumer and Pelosi are pretty sure they could strike a deal with Ryan, if Trump was out of the picture. It’s worked before, it worked with Boehner, too. It’s what they are used to.

I notice the Dems are running Congress - and apparently running the country. I thought we had an election or two about that problem.

Then, no one will see it until Congress passes it, and President Trump’s signature is forged by Schumer.

Gee... wouldn’t it be great if we just had BOTH houses of congress AND and the White House at the same time. One can only dream.

Then it’s probably destined for a veto. Then they’ll blame it on Trump.

What does the minority party have to do with anything?

Don’t need their votes.

Why does no one mention the billions shipped by air under Obama’s orders to IRAN?

The Dems need to shut up or SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES. TRUMP WON!

Isn’t it the President’s job to submit a budget to Congress? What the hell is wrong with rats? Don’t bother answering, I know the answer.

The Wall is more important to preserving an American future, than the projects these despicable examples of all that is rotten in our contemporary politics, are seeking to fund by intimidating some of our less firmly resolved Republicans.

I am trying to be polite.

When your Republican leaders are Ryno, Turtle and McNuts, you have no chance.
