Video in tweet;

Democrat Cheri Bustos (Illinois) resists Democrat leaders who are refusing to #FundTheWall and calls on them to give partial wall funding.

Negotiation 101 tells you to exchange promises for promises and concrete action for concrete action. This is why business invented things like progress payments— you don’t get paid until you complete the mandated progress.

The Dims were on board not that long ago. They’ll turn on a dime to drive their statist agenda. The hammer and sickle is more than just a symbol for them.
