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.

I didn’t say I was for it. I don’t think we need H1B visas.

“Anf make it impossible for the media to make Trump look like he’s obstructing.”

You can’t possibly believe that. The media can create any perception it wants. Reality never gets in their way.

He can't offer them any more. They'll just keep refusing until there's nothing left to offer. He should've made the EO when he first spoke about it.

We get nowhere if we fear impeachment. Whatever he does, the HOR dems will try for impeachment. Then they'll go after Pence, to try to get to a President Pelosi. Trump's best chance is to put the nation first, not lose the respect and support of his base, and start the wall with the EO.....tomorrow.

yes I had an Alipac email in my inbox regarding rumors of an amnesty-DACA deal. But the issue with that is there are so many thugs, fraudsters & La Razas in this subset. Is it possible to corral this group to under 5 mil? CRIKEY!

Yeah, I agree, he’d be throwing a lot of American workers under the bus. I’d be one of them as well. This would not be a good idea.

Trump is unpredictable by design. He kicked her ass and then days later will offer a deal. Bad cop / good cop. The dems however will view it as weakness and hold firm.

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

Not if he doesn’t cave on the wall. It shows him as the only one wanting to end the shutdown.

And sets the reason why he needs to declare a National Emergency, because Congress is unwilling to do their job. He’s just setting the wheels in motion.

You THINK we don’t need H-1Bs. How about YOU KNOW WE DON’T NEED H-1B’s.

The media can only do so much. Try as they will.

Trump putting his offers ‘out there’ makes it awful hard for them.

And if you give amnesty to DACA illegals, you know it will extend to the 30 million plus illegals already here and their democrat voting anchor baby demon spawn [50 million plus]

It’s a sure death sentence for the country.

I believe the USA has enough talent to supply any employer with what they need.

If it’s amnesty for DACA, we’re screwed.

Trump could’ve built the wall without dealing with the treasonous dems. This will be a HUGE defeat.
***************************************************
It would indeed be a HUGE defeat and a MAJOR-LEAGUE DISAPPOINTMENT. Trump finally has a winning hand and IT WOULD BE STUPID to “split the pot” with the ‘RATS.

I’M WORRIED NOW!
