President Trump will only accept a stopgap spending bill to reopen the government if it contains a “down payment” for his long-desired border wall, the White House said Thursday, shortly after the Senate rejected two separate funding bills.
“The president would consider a CR only if it includes a down payment on the wall,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement to The Hill.

Great chess move! Let Trump work it. He knows what he is doing.
...and you believe what the MSM says after all the lies we have caught them in???... You need to decide what side you are on...we are Trump supporters...what are you???
If y’all believe any permanent wall is going to be built with post FY16 funds... I’m happy to sell yall 2 sections here in Texas for $1 an acre.
Nancy is incrementally winning by not giving an inch. Trump could be saved by Pelosi still refusing to give even one dollar, but what would happen next?
What is going to happen is McConnell and the Senate GOP are going to stab POTUS in the back. The only question is the timing of their betrayal.
The greatest negotiator since the dawn of time is being rolled by those two and some of us saw it going down just like this weeks ago.
LOL. Once again the “Republican” Senate is AWOL. More kabuki theater from the bottom of the beltway sewer. “Conservative” Mike Lee voted against both bills today. The rest of the Senate GOP can’t wait to end the shutdown and hop in bed with San Fran Nan. How pathetic is that? POTUS is the least of our problems without a doubt.
They sit on their ass all day, and let Trump do all the work. Then they rail, scream, and gnash their teeth.
Then they call you a “personality cultist” , and then go back to playing solitaire on their XP laptop.
They are digital first-shakers. Eventually you just ignore them as the useless geriatrics they are.
LOL. Spot on. These Never Trump hobbyists can’t wait to run back to their pet GOP plantation conservative swamper. Paul, Cruz, etc. They’ve never gotten over POTUS wiping the floor with their favorite “conservative” career politician in the primaries and then beating Hillary Criminal in the general. Now they damn Trump because he’s preventing their Dear Leader’s return to glory.
Yup. If Hillary or Jeb! had won, Hillary wouldn't be locked up, there wouldn't be a Wall and illegal aliens would be crashing the border...
If Trump had actually wanted a Wall, he would have made it a priority in 17' or at least 18' when he knew he had control of both Chambers of Congress.
But it was just a campaign slogan like 'Lock Her Up' or 'Read My Lips'.
Considering all the crap the Rats blow money on, who cares who pays for it? Sane people just want it built.

True enough. If sitting Never Trump Republicans had their way (”vote your conscious”, “voted for my wife”, etc.) and Hillary Criminal was POTUS we never have seen the GOP led Senate openly collude with the treasonous Mueller Coup.
Is Mitch McConnell only a “liar” when Ted Cruz is running for POTUS? Apparently, the answer to that question is yes.

“We’ll repeal Obamacare root and branch.” “We’ll defund planned parenthood”. You want more? POTUS has done more to advance the conservative agenda than any Republican since Reagan. Far more, in fact, than the useless “conservative” career politicians you prostrate yourself before.
Planned Parenthood is still being funded. In a record amount.
You’ll still be paying the Obamacare penalty with this tax return if you don’t have approved healthcare.
Trump discovered he can still implement the Jeb! agenda, he just has to lie about it, Jeb! didn’t think that through in 16’.
The republican Trump haters are going to be in for a rude awakening in 2024. I cant wait to vote 3rd party like I did in 2004, 2008, and 2012. My only regrets are wasting votes on Bush in 1992 and 2000. I’d vote for Dole again just because he showed up at the convention in 2016.Even if he didn’t vote for Trump, at least he showed up.
Hillary was never going to be locked up. Its campaign rhetoric
like “Hang the Kaiser” or “Hang Jefferson Davis”. People that eat that stuff up are the suckers, who buy Ann Coulter books and watch Fox News.
The baby killers at PP where fully funded by the Republican party long before Trump arrived on the scene. And they’ll be fully funded long after he is gone. Mitch “We’ll repeal Obamacare root and branch” McConnell and the rest of the lying careerists in the GOP will see to that.
I see you ducked my other question: Is Root and Branch McConnell only a “liar” when Ted Cruz runs for POTUS? I only ask again since you breezily smear POTUS as a “liar” here.
If there wasn’t any government funding for PP. The Ford, Rockefeller, or Guggenheim foundations would just fill the void.
The best way for this to end is Trump declaring an emergency order and building the wall. The Dems will have to explain to their constituents how we ended up with the wall, and no DACA, no Dreamers, and a crackdown on sanctuary cities. Follow that up with an executive order banning Anchor babies and you have a 40 state landslide in 2020.
