Fart-of-the-Deal just tweeted to tell people to "blame the Dems" b/c they haven't called him




The Democrats just aren’t calling about DACA. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer have to get moving fast, or they’ll disappoint you again. We have a great chance to make a deal or, blame the Dems! March 5th is coming up fast.

Considering the mercurial nature of Trump's moods, what's the point of entering into "negotiations" with him? As soon as you think you have a deal or even just an understanding, he'll talk to someone else who couldn't be bothered to be in the meeting, and do a 180.

There's no upside to meeting with Trump.

He hasn't tweeted in days since the SOTU took all his energy. Now he is beginning to realize that the blow back from the original distraction (the memo) may not go as well as he had hoped and he is throwing another distraction in on top of that one. I expect a third distraction to come shortly.

It's sure to win the hearts and minds of America.

Do I need that sarcasm thing?

When March 5th rolls around, you and your party will once again have failed to govern. Oh, by the way the CBO says March 5 may be a little late.

The Tweets also don't show up for all DU'ers because of technical reasons.

Then come up with a permanent solution all by yourself. Should be easy for such a stable genius.

Yes, the tweet in the OP is a final draft. It takes a lot of work couching Miller speak in tolerable language.

If he wants them at the table, it is his job to reach out. This guy has no negotiation skills outside of stealing and holding the stolen goods hostage.

He let his fat, flapping lips make a bunch of promises that he knew he couldn't keep, and now he's painted himself into a corner with no way out. The only way he'll get the Dem to cooperate is by giving them major concessions. That's how deals are made when you're trapped.
