Senate Democrats on Monday presented President Trump with their list of conditions for a denuclearization deal with North Korea, saying they would only support lifting sanctions on Pyongyang in exchange for complete dismantling of the nuclear program.
They also want a deal to put checks on North Korea’s chemical and biological weapons.
The senators laid out a list of five demands in a letter to Mr. Trump, who is preparing for a June 12 summit with North Korea leader Kim Jong-un.
Sen. Charles E. Schumer, who signed the letter with six other Senate Democrats, told reporters that the Democrats didn’t want America “saddled with a bad deal.”
The New York Democrat warned against Mr. Trump accepting a bad deal just because he wanted a deal.
“The president needs to be able to walk away from the table if there isn’t a good deal to be had,” Mr. Schumer said. “He also needs to be willing to take the time to construct a good deal.”
Democrats staunchly opposed Mr. Trump’s moves with North Korea from the start, saying his tough rhetoric was tempting nuclear war and then that agreeing to a face-to-face meeting was empowering Mr. Kim.
The letter spelled out five conditions:

Yep, but Trump can totally screw them with the optics, they just set there own trap. Trump will basically accept it and say “Yes, I agree we should abandon the policies of those administrations that should never have been implemented”. It reminds me of the scene in Blazing Saddles where the black sheriff holds a gun to his own head and threatens to shoot unless they do what he wants. Chuckie is sometimes very dumb...
‘their list’ ??
Really?

I guess the irony of your post will be totally lost on you. But that is just a guess.
Shouldn’t they have sent this to Kim?
Just curious, if kim doesn’t agree, and Trump
walks, what will be their position then?
Of course, Trump’s fault.
Notice they are using President Trump’s language as they try to appear like relevant leaders: “walk away from the table,” “don’t want America saddled with a bad deal,” etc. Since the president is empowered by the Constitution to conduct foreign policy, the Democrat demands are not worth the paper they were printed on. It’s all theater and a fund-raising tool.
I assume the list went right into the circular file?
This “title” just cracks me up, not really sure why, but it’s hilarious.
I was thinking of a different round object that accepts paper.
Where was Chuckie and the Dems with their list of demands to 0bama on the Iran deal?
—————|————-
Exactly! What hypocrites. The Iran deal would not meet these demands, yet they were glad to have obama sign it and give pallets of cash in the dead of night.
Very good question?
Of course Chuckie won’t address that issue.
Chucky sure does have chutzpah.

Exactly...Chuckie knows the Rats were going to look like fools so he's jumping on President Trump's train, then they can say this is what they wanted all along.
So Chuckie’s got that whole DACA thing figured out, right? I mean, he shut down the gov before, and everyone said never again...he rode that horse till it was dead and then...nothing.
We won’t hear anything about DACA until it’s time for another budget and then Chuckster will drag that issue out of the closet and berate Trump because there’s still a problem. A problem the dims have done nothing about. SNAFU
Remember when he told Barry pretty much the same thing about Iran? Me neither.
STFU Chucky!
Chuck call 1-800-I don’t care and read it.
Amen, what a little weasel he is.
