The question is...

Can republicans jam 5 billion for the wall with nothing in return?

I am thinking we would lose at least a couple of democrats.


We could however get a couple of republicans to shoot down the bill, Collins, Flake?




I guess the answer is NO FUCKING way...

"
Sen. Richard J. Durbin (Ill.), the No. 2 Senate Democrat, said Thursday that he doesn’t anticipate Democrats agreeing to more than the $1.6 billion they’ve already signed off on for the 2019 fiscal year.

“I don’t see it. I think we’ve taken a position which is reasonable. We’ve given this administration more money than they can spend, and I don’t see it,” Durbin said. “If there are variables and things that are offered to us, of course we’ll consider them, but I think our position is pretty sound and understandable.”

Durbin, a longtime champion of permanent protections for immigrants brought illegally to the country as children, said he was not aware of talks to make a deal on those “dreamers” in exchange for money for Trump’s wall. Such deals have been attempted repeatedly under Trump’s presidency only to collapse in the end.

Cornyn and other Republicans say they are open to such a deal now, but it appears unlikely to come together in the short time lawmakers have ahead of the Dec. 7 deadline."
