If the cartels could buy a President of Mexico for $100 million, why could they not also buy an anti-Wall position by a party in the USA..?

Last week, Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia offered President Trump some advice on how to end the current border wall standoff. "Always try to find a solution in which both sides come out ahead," Warner told the president. It's good advice. Trump is taking it. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., are not.
On Saturday, Trump did exactly what Warner suggested, offering Democrats a win-win compromise. In addition to his 230-mile physical barrier, Trump said he would support three years of legislative relief for 700,000 recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, as well as a three-year extension for 300,000 other immigrants whose temporary protected status is expiring -- 1 million people in all. These extensions, Trump said, would give Congress time to "work on a larger immigration deal, which everybody wants -- Republicans and Democrats." His offer, Trump said, was "straightforward, fair, reasonable and common sense, with lots of compromise," adding that "both sides in Washington must simply come together … and find solutions."
The Democrats' response? Pelosi called the offer "non-starter" even before Trump delivered his speech. Schumer declared it "one-sided and ineffective." That's ridiculous. Obviously, Trump's proposal is only an opening bid. But instead of making a counteroffer and negotiating in good faith, Democrats are demanding unconditional surrender. That extremism is playing politics with not only the lives of the DACA and TPS recipients, who would benefit under Trump's plan, but also the lives of the 800,000 federal government workers who are about to miss their second paycheck.

And the GOP panders to Democrats apparently.

Hear, here. But Democrats and their followers are running on pure hatred and anger. What are they angered about. The country elected a non-politician. This is also why many Republicans aren’t supporting.
Maybe they’re angered because if the wall gets built, the money will stop and/or certain people will be very angry with them.
Democrats pander to their base, Trump shows leadership, GOP despises its base. Go Trump!!
Heh, a good number of RINOublicans are also catering to the Democrat base.
The guillotine, the guillotine.
Warner just sent me an constituent email (I wrote him a good while back) entitled “I want to hear from you”. Oh, he will hear from me. Big time. Can’t stand the rotten guy. He’s got some fingerprints regarding the Steele Dossier, too. As Dan Bongino says, there IS a paper trail with the folks (senior FBI/DOJ) now scrambling & turning on each other, trying to save their own @sses. Looks like Warner wanted to cover his tracks at the time, too.
Secrecy seemed very important to Warner as the conversation with Waldman heated up March 29, when the lobbyist revealed that Steele wanted a bipartisan letter from Warner and the committee’s chairman, North Carolina Republican Sen. Richard Burr, inviting him to talk to the Senate intelligence panel.
Throughout the text exchanges, Warner seemed particularly intent on connecting directly with Steele without anyone else on the Senate Intelligence Committee being in the loop — at least initially. In one text to the lobbyist, Warner wrote that he would “rather not have a paper trail” of his messages.Secrecy seemed very important to Warner as the conversation with Waldman heated up March 29, when the lobbyist revealed that Steele wanted a bipartisan letter from Warner and the committee’s chairman, North Carolina Republican Sen.
