Among the items considered: military funding far above the White House's request and, enticingly for Trump, full funding for Trump's border security demands. The border offer went beyond what was included in the bipartisan plan conceived by Sens. Dick Durbin and Lindsay Graham which Trump rejected last week in vulgar terms.

The outlines of the potential agreement seemed promising. But it wouldn't come together in the half-day left before the shutdown. Schumer told Trump they'd need a stopgap plan to fund the government for a few days. Trump concurred, said he'd discuss the plan with Republicans, and promised to phone Schumer later with an update.

But instead of calling Trump, it was Kelly -- the retired four-star Marine who'd sat aside Trump during lunch -- who called Schumer. The outline discussed earlier in the day was too liberal, Kelly said, even with a discussion of Trump's full border request. It wasn't enough to keep the President negotiating.

OP's thoughts: Schumer offered him literally full funding for The Wall/Border Security (18 Billion the WH wanted.) and NDAA military funding far above what the WH requested and Trump denied it?

then what else can we do? this is outrageous. the Feb 8th promise by the GOP to bring in a stand alone Durbin-Graham bill is a trap. it will never be put on the floor of the House or even if it did pass, Trump will veto it. They just dont want the DACA fix to fail but they want to embarrass us by putting a stand-alone fix to fail for everyone to see. They're talking point will be "amnesty is not the will of the elected representatives of the people."

Feb 8th could be the beginning of the end, and it could be a worse demise than a clean Dream Act. only way forward is the Dream Act to be attached to must-pass legislation, it doesnt even have to be the spending bill. attach that shit to the Disaster Relief Aid, we know there are Dreamers in Texas, Florida, and other places that were affected by the hurricanes.

sure do hope i am wrong, please share your thoughts if you agree or disagree, i would like to hear your opinion.
