The fight is not over yet. That was round 1. Now it's up to the Dems to do what they promised. Open government and we'll negotiate. Now the ball is in the Dems court. What are they going to do? Sit on their ass and continue to say NO. Or cut a deal all can live with which includes a complete package with barriers.
It will be an interesting 3 weeks. And if a deal is made, then Trump wins. There has not been a complete immigration bill for decades. Trump is forcing a sit down of congress to make a deal, of which no president has been able to do in the past. So we'll see.
After seeing that...
a)Trump lost the public debate on the wall,
b)Independents overwhelming blamed Trump and Senate Republicans for the shutdown,
c)Trump caved and is likely to cave again, and
d)the Republican Senate line was in the process of cracking.
...what motivation would Democrats have to put a wall in the next spending bill? Make sure that your answer takes the above four points into consideration.
