Seven Democratic lawmakers, including newly elected freshmen, have arrived at the White House ready to ask President Donald Trump to reopen the government while talks continue over border security.
It's the first group of rank-and-file Democrats to meet with Trump during the shutdown, which stretched into its 26th day Wednesday. The White House has been trying to peel lawmakers away from Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (puh-LOH'-see), but invitations to Democrats earlier this week were declined.
Those arriving Wednesday for the midday meeting in the Situation Room included five freshmen, several of whom did not back Pelosi as speaker. They represent areas where Trump remains popular. They're from a bipartisan group called the Problem Solvers Caucus.
Ahead of the meeting they wrote there is "strong agreement that if we reopen the government, the possibility exists to work together and find common ground."
Trump is seeking $5.7 billion for a U.S.-Mexico border wall, but Pelosi opposes the wall.

Yep. Just like all the other times that promises have been made by Dems on immigration, taxes, etc.
"IF" in Dem language is a two letter word for Bull$hit.

Nancy didn’t really want to be Speaker again. She didn’t think she had a chance. She doesn’t know what to do now. She’s in over her head. Every day it gets worse. She’ll step down within six months if not three. Othwise she’ll be impeached. Her own party wants nothing to do with her. She’s immoral, an enemy of the nation, a loud mouth, and the worst thing to happen to the United States since our founding. She puts our nation in peril. Foreign leaders think she’s a joke. Our enemies love her. (c)
I don’t think so. There’s the moderate part (the money part) and then there’s the leftie, moneyless part.
They will split. The almost split when Bernie lost. Their whole political motivation is envy of the rich.
Predictable progress. A former casino operator doesn’t know how to play poker?
Revival of the Blue Dogs? I’ll take it.
