Come on, have you ever negotiated anything in your life?

Offer the Dream Act to Trump? He turned it and $25 billion down before. It's up to Trump to ask for it. Better yet, now that the Democrats will get the house soon, he should be BEGGING them for if if he wants his wall or something close to it to save face. Right now the Democrats have 2020 to think about too so they have to make Trump pay for his "Chuck and Nancy" sitdown. They have to make him squirm and not give him an inch until he comes to offer them things.

Rule 1 of negotiating: Don't negotiate against yourself. This is going to be an ugly ugly fight. Once TSA and Border patrol guy won't get their Jan 1st paychecks, all kinds of shit is going to hit the fan within Trump's supporters.
