according to what I'm hearing there are so many restrictions in the spending bill
"probably no miles of wall will get built due to the restrictions" ( some dude on Fox.)
WHY would Republicans negotiate this worthless bill? Are they that terrified ?
Yes. they only care about not getting a shutdown -which makes them look bad and threatens their power.
I can't understand why any average American who isn't part of the DC plutocracy would be a Republican.
The Republican party is worse then a leaky ship -it can't even get to sea
Why would you want to be in a party that can't even back it's own president?

Glad the GOP Congress is not kissing Trump butt or his followers.

Republican senators are smart enough to know something that teabagging rightwing dunces on obscure internet message board don't.
They knew all the Trump bluster about a "big, beautiful" Berlin Wall, stretching across our southern border, made of concrete, and at least "30 feet high" was complete horseshit from the outset. This kind of 12th century technology made no sense economically, environmentally, or technically. When the rubber actually met the road, they had to back off on that nonsense. What Republicans senators did know is that the entire image of a Berlin Wall on our southern border was a constructed metaphor to titillate and manipulate barely educated rightwing dunces into voting for Trumpf.

The reality is congress and presidents disagree. I don’t want a Congress that is purely a rubber stamp to the President. And in a mixed government situation like we have today you have to compromise unless you want the government shut down indenfinitely. And the last time we ended up with the republicans getting routed we got Obamacare.
You are free of course to call republicans worthless, it doesn’t bother me. But as a Republican I do not want to see the government shut down again. We will get crushed for it.

Too right you are.
The internet taught me years ago that lower life forms, aka primarily rightwing dunces, are easily duped and manipulated.
All you really need is a lexicon of made up words, and an imaginary cast of quasi-villains.

Look at Democrats. they vote in lock step unity. It's how they passedObama care.
Look at this monstrosity -there are 5 cities that have veto power over any construction, and the bill doesn't allow the latest technology. No barriers can be built on ANY federal lands / WTF?
Why would ANY Republican negotiate and support that crap> it's not the shutdown- it's what's in the bill.
Why would any Republican "negotiate " that junk?
Because they are worthless dogs as a party

your post is one long fallacy.
Berlin wall = fallacy
Stretching across our southern border= fallacy ( it's not a continuous wall)
30 foot high concrete = fallacy
medeval technology = fallacy ( walls have been built around the world that work) ( walls protect as a barrier)
The rest of your junk political analysis is sophomoric crap
a constructed metaphor to titillate and manipulate barely educated rightwing dunces into voting for Trumpf.
Democrats have always had at least two advantages over republicans—you mentioned lockstep.
The other is democrats will take the low road if that’s what it takes whereas republicans tend to be more gentlemanly or whatever. It was why Romney and McCain lost. And it’s a big reason Trump won—Trump actually swings back.
But in this instance, under no circumstances were democrats going to yield to Trump on the wall. It’s too critical of a win for democrats and politics ALWAYS comes first for democrats.
Border agents could be capturing scores of ISIS members by the day—and Pelosi still wouldn’t have budged. And I’m not exaggerating. Beating Trump means that much to them.
