What do the democrats want in return? Melania? They will never give him the money. Shut down the government and start layoffs we will be better off.

I agree, and they probably want that 12.5 Billion in "overseas aid" which somehow winds up back in the pockets of the elite. They are desperate for this part of the requisition too.

The Dimms dont want their income cut off at the Border - that lovely free flow of drugs, arms and women and children - does the MSM or even Fox ever ask the question of WHY do the Dimms oppose the wall? Fox just sticks to the mantra "its because Trump wants it and they hate Trump" this seems a very poor excuse for an explanation - how about being much more to the point and talking about who benefits from no Wall.

What to remember in negotiations is that the demand is high $5B. POTUS as an experienced negotiator and developer probably knows that for a lesser number that he could build a good border wall. Otherwise if he needed $5B as a bottom line, then he would have demanded something higher like $8B or more. If $5B is the true number, then POTUS set himself on a path to shut down govt for not getting the funding needed for a $5B wall. If POTUS needs less, then POTUS can 'compromise' to his true number and get what he wanted.

All or nothing. I'd rather see a shut down. They want this wall stopped so badly, it's telling what's at stake for people making their money off the illegal activities going on down there.
