Dems spurn Trump on shutdown talksHouse Dems refused to participate in a Tuesday afternoon meeting with Trump, dashing the White House’s unlikely hopes of reaching a bargain with moderates to reopen the government After the last photo op, who can blame them. Trump cannot divide the Dem caucus. Glad they did not go! REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRAT SENATORS ALL already voted on this before Christmas, 100-0. UNANIMOUS. Trump agreed to sign it. Then Ann Coulter says Trump is a sell out if he signs it. The next morning, TRUMP changes his mind and says he won't sign it now. Pelosi/Schumer tried again. If Trump had wanted to end gov't shutdown, he would have invited Pelosi and talked with her... She's the one, not the red-state Democrats that he's trying to force to vote with him....
