Will he fall for that disingenuous “promise” again?
===================
Today, the Senate is due to vote on Trump’s plan to open the government, secure the border and extend DACA protections … and a Democratic bill to punt the issue (again): “open the government and we’ll negotiate (when we’ve stripped you of all your leverage).
As Trump likes to say: “We’ll see what happens.”

Prof. Homa,
Trumph has no leverage here. He thinks he can get leverage by keeping the Govt Shutdown ongoing, but its not working for him and we are seeing backtracking on his recent demands. I think both parties want to get out of this, its just the semantics which is killing the deal. Democrats don’t want to use the word wall but are ready to give money for broader security to show they won, while Trump wants to use word wall in the agreement for face saving to his fellow supporters. My gut feel is Trumph will have to give up this time, else there will be no deal
