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.

They need to distract from the Buzzfeed debacle.

The Democrats are so interested in fixing this they left the country.

Anything short of “the RIFs start tomorrow and the military is building the wall” will be a let down.

No more pussy footing around

Have you noticed trumps approval rating with hispanics is sky rocketing?

This word “ base” may not mean what you think it means

Correct.

Just not at the price the employer wants.

I’m doing my best not to become despondent about his announcement tomorrow. I have a hard time believing he would come this far, just to throw it all away to the Dems and lose his base.

I’m going to trust PDJT until I have reason to believe otherwise. And this ain’t the time!

(If I’m wrong, you good people can make me eat my words!)

Maybe I missed it. How did the supremes take DACA off the table? There was a single judge a month ago who issued a ruling but that’s a far cry from the supremes.

When I heard that Pence, Kushner, and McScrotum were tasked with forging a deal with the dems to end the shutdown, that made me queasy as hell.

Why give dems anything at all when he can build the wall without them through a national emergency? {Everyone in his base knows this, too}

If he does any kind of amnesty, his chances for 2020 won’t be good.

While I agree, H1b is far better than nearly EVERY other type of immigration today in the US.

I love our POTUS, but I do NOT trust Ivanka and Jared, and am not comfortable that they are advisors to our POTUS!

I don’t think dems are going to give Trump any kind of victory until he wins in 11/2020. when they will have no choice.

They didn’t take it up for this court session. That means DACA stays in place for at least another year.

“I have a hard time believing he would come this far, just to throw it all away to the Dems and lose his base.”

It will be very bad if he gives the dems anything...Especially amnesty. Texas and Florida are on the cusp of turning blue. Illegals are streaming into the country by the thousands everyday—Future demoncrat voters. It’s hard not to be despondent.
