If the left truly wants this 25% of the government opended then tell the Democratic leadership to put their anger over the 2016 election and hatred of Trump behind them and do what is right for the nation instead of what makes them feel good. Trump put foreward a reasonable offer yesterday both sides would get something they want but neither would get everything they want that is how compromise works and the left rejected it before the speech was even finished. I suspect if any other President Republican or Democrat made that same offer it would have at least been given serious consideration right now all we are getting is lip service from those who want to continue to do what they have been doing since the 80s when it comes to border security and immigration reform ignore the problem and kick it down the road. These issues started getting attention under Reagan in the 80s and since then we have gone through Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W Bush, Barak Obama, and now Donald Trump and still no solution. If President Trump were to sign a bill that would reopen the government on the promise border security and immigration reform would be delt with later later would never come just like iot has not come for nearly fourty years now.
