Schumer: There will be shutdown if Trump sticks to his $5 billion demand for the Wall
CNN ^ | 12/11/2018 | Jeremy Diamond

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer warned Tuesday in front of the White House that there will be a government shutdown if President Donald Trump refuses to budge from his demand for $5 billion of wall funding. He spoke after the tense meeting with President Trump.

The bottom line is simple. The President made clear that he wants a shutdown. His position, if he sticks to his position for a $5 billion wall, he will get no wall and he will get a shutdown. The bottom line is very, very simple. That is, we want border security. We offered him border security. But Americans know that the wall, not paid for by Mexico anymore, is not the way to border security.

Schumer insisted that Democrats "have offered" border security funding and warned of what he and Pelosi have termed a "Trump shutdown."

"This Trump shutdown, this temper tantrum that he seems to throw, will not get him his wall and will hurt a lot of people," Schumer said.

Shut down the Border rather than the Goverment. The Left will squeal as loud as the Right and the pressure on Senate and House will be intense.

You've outlined what really needs to be done whereas I've outlined what may be politically realistic.

Make any government shutdown come down to "the HoR values illegal aliens more than American citizens" in a way that the media can't easily spin otherwise and we win.

The lie of the moment that the left is pushing - ‘There is nothing in the world worse than shutting down the government’. It’s such an easy lie to disprove. It only succeeds when people (i.e. the MSM) don’t challenge it.

The Trump base is going to have to make their presence known for the next two years in a very big and massively supportive way. We MUST have our Donald’s back as he fights for us!! Time will tell how and what form that should take.

And, yes, we’re still here and growing. RATs would be wise to open their eyes and ears. Obviously, they’ve been too busy with their voter fraud. And, I do believe we must demand an investigation into the 2018 RAT voter fraud.

I noticed that Pelosi and Schumer didn’t give Trump much eye contact.

I noticed that too. nazi Pelosi did a better job than Chuck-U at looking at Trump.

The democrats would much rather shut down government than provide security.

Nanzi’s dementia is obvious when she tries to speak—she bumbles and stumbles constantly.

I also noticed that Nanzi is going bald or she needs to do a better job keeping those white roots touched up with color. She’s very wealthy, there’s no reason why her hair has to look like sh*t.

Apparently the voters thought the Tax bill was “crap.” That was the most significant legislation passed in the last Congress.

Yet, the brainwashed morons gave the House to the Demons.
