The White House on Thursday signaled that a "large down payment" on border wall funding -- and potentially less than the $5.7 billion that President Trump has long requested -- could be sufficient to bring Republicans to the table and end the ongoing partial federal government shutdown.
The possible concession from the White House came just minutes after the Senate rejected both Democratic and GOP proposals to end the shutdown, with both measures falling far short of the 60-vote threshold needed to pass.
But Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dismissed the proposal shortly afterward as a nonstarter, saying it was "not a reasonable agreement."
"I don't know if he knows what he's talking about," Pelosi added.
The White House, in response, slammed Pelosi's consistent rejections of compromise proposals. The House speaker has previously said she would not support any legislation that includes funding for the wall, which she characterized as an "immorality."

P
Nancy is really saying what is going on the GOP always cave after a day or two ,LOL
Trump needs to stop making concessions. He should just let this play out.
And Trump is saying ante up bitch, you dont want to ante up 5 lets go for 1.
He is letting it play out. More rejections by the democrats gives Trump more reasons to declare a national emergency.
He should say next week its 10.7 billion or no deal.
Pelosi cares little if Americans are murdered, businesses and homes are burglarized, Americans killed in car crashes, all caused by illegal immigrants just as long as she can keep Trump from getting what he (and we) want. What a sick bi*ch.
Agree.
This is from Pelosi, who talks like a stuttering idiot
I am surprised he started so low.
Its very funny when someone thinks their optics are wondful but the world sees them totally different.
Nanzi comes off as the b1tchy baby.
Trump should say he has always found it very challenging to negotiate when hes the only adult in the room. I dont care how the other side screams about it. Its the truth.
And to do even more things Dems will hate. He can adjourn Congress. If the longest shutdown in US history isnt an extraodinary circumstance I dont know what is.
That leads to recess appointment of about 50 judges.
Furloughing Government workers is another. Weve passed the 30 day threshold.
Trump should send the epa to tear down pelosis mansion walls.
Wetlands, or some little critter, or prevention of migration, etc

Working our way towards a "cave"...just taking longer than normal.
Plis noting that her walls are immoral.
It might be a way to get a look at the other side’s anti-wall lawsuits which will immediately follow passing any wall spending. Could help in preparing wording of national emergency declaration. Kinda like calling a time out when offense lines up for a Hail Mary final play. Nice to get a look at what the opponent thinks is his best play.
He has several Trump cards.
