Hill meeting 'didn't move the ball'

... Some lawmakers emerged from the hour-long huddle adamant Trump had endorsed a compromise measure that would allow families to remain together.

But others were more equivocal, saying Trump only expressed support for any bill that arrives on his desk -- either the compromise plan or a more conservative version whose prospects appear dim.

The White House said afterward Trump "endorsed both House immigration bills," which also provide funding for his promised border wall and close certain immigration loopholes ...

"It's always nice to see the President but this didn't move the ball," one Republican lawmaker said ...

I'm puzzled though; why would Trump meet with the Republicans when for the last couple of weeks he's claimed that everything is the Democrats' fault, and only the Democrats can remedy the horrible policies he's promulgated?

Will anyone in the popular media notice this eensy little disconnect?

The Rethugs are all in with this exploit the Immigrant Policy. They were fully behind it in 2016,and they will run on it again this year.

But it will be loaded with all kinds of other heinous shit including billions for Trump's idiotic wall. Now when Democrats or anyone with a lick of common sense balks at this pile of Nazi crap... the Republican chorus will point at them and yell 'but the babies!'
