re: #79 dangerman

i’ve watched this for days and it only just occurred to me

trump is ‘negotiating with’ / ‘meeting with’ pelosi and schumer

not mcconnell

i just kept passing over it as nothing. this morning i said, whoa

what does this say and what does it look like?
sure, we all know

and it’s still really stupid

aside from conflating the shutdown with the wall, that pelosi will in short order separate,

trump should be meeting with the *leaders* of both houses

trump has publicly tipped his hand about who he thinks is in control - it’s schumer, not mcconnell

I would suggest you should have made that Pelosi and Schumer as far as who Trump thinks is in control.

And since your post is about who is not in the negotiations, you forgot Kevin McCarthy.

Both Republican Congressional leaders.

Then again…Trump may know there is no reason to have McConnell and McCarthy involved.

They already have been beaten down and put in their places by Trump and Russia!
