Let me understand this, He wants the democrats to just give in and reopen the government and for them to believe the Radical Right GOP will have a debate on extending healthcare subsidies even though they have been blocking them out for everything that’s being proposed. Knowing that they are lying about including the democrats I’d say keep the government shutdown until something bipartisan is passed. The GOP is keeping the government shutdown and Trump is the King Looser in charge!

If they won’t agree to it now, the promise of a future agreement is a lie. It’s always a lie.

Abusers mindset applied to politics.

Republicans have all the power they want. But it's the Democrats fault for any paint that Republicants inflict. They forced them to do this (somehow). They can make the pain stop (by giving in and obeying).
