Trump plans to make Democrats an offer to end shutdown, not declare national emergency
CNN ^ | Han. 18, 2018 | Abby Phillip and Betsy Klein

President Donald Trump plans to offer Democrats another proposal to end the shutdown when he addresses the nation from the White House on Saturday afternoon -- what officials are describing as his third offer to end the shutdown, according to a senior administration official.

The official told CNN that Trump's idea is to put something on the table to get Democrats to engage with negotiations. Trump is not expected to back down from his demand for a border wall, but the plan will seek to entice Democrats by offering other concessions.

Could be H1b visas.

Ok so I and all other IT professionals are to be thrown under the bus to get $5B? Really?

“Probably DACA related. Didn’t work before, but puts the heat squarely on the RATS back.”

The Supremes just took the DACA card off the table for Trump, so if he’s going to offer DACA the RATS will just laugh at him.

Whatever he does tomorrow better be a lot stronger than that oval office speech.

Also is this going to make him look desperate for a deal? If he keeps being the one that comes to the table first with an offer and pleading, the RATS are going to dig in even more.

He should go nuclear and declare an emergency, which has been that for years. It’s been an emergency for so long, we’ve become numb to it.

If so this will make Trump appear desperate for a deal. The dems will reject it and hold firm.

The only thing Dems care about is dollars for their donors.
Hope it’s something else. Something their voters want.

“Or he’ll offer to jack up the H1B visas”

So big business (tech) will be putting the pressure on the RATS to accept. Nice, left eating the left. the

I've been with Trump from the beginning. This is the only way he could lose me. H-1B is an emotional issue for a lot of Americans.

It’s not nice and you are an a$$h0le for saying so. Throwing sectors of Americans under the bus is not what a decent President does for any reason. If this waht is takes to get a wall then shove it. I’ rather have a war.

Good, because all of the H-1B talk is making me nervous.

After bitch slapping Pelosi’s overseas flight plans yesterday I don’t see Trump puckering up to kiss her arse two days later.

I was just throwing it out there. There is reporting it is DACA.

I’d be willing to do the DACA thingy but only if its for getting 25 bil in exchange from Congress.

I hope that the plan involves a horse’s head in Nancy’s and Chuck’s beds.

I’d rather see Nancy and Chuck thrown into a stable.

Anf make it impossible for the media to make Trump look like he’s obstructing.
IDK. PR is just silly to me.

Terrible. His first two national addresses are nothing burgers that make him look weak—as you continues to negotiate against himself.

How about realizing that H-1B is a serious issue not be thrown around. This is why Republicans can never be a majority party because they cannot relate to the average working class person.

Please, Mr. President, no amnesty of the Nightmarers (or, as the leftists refer to them, the “Dreamers”).
