OP
The House should decline and just pass a clean CR, and demand that Trump and McConnell do the same.

The Truth Is Here
(354 posts)1. The House should decline and just pass a clean CR, and demand that Trump and McConnell do the same.
There is no need for additional "talks" or "deals". Zero dollars for the wall, period.

Pass the exact same bill the Senate passed just two weeks ago, and send it over to the White House with a note: "Here's our offer, Spanky."

(10,034 posts)5. Yep. Promise a clean bill and demand an up or down vote
Up or down vote in Senate. Repeat demanding an "up or down vote", by every Democrat interviewed by the media, of House passed clean bill now in McConnell's control in the Senate.
If it passes the Senate, Trump can veto it or sign it.

...because we all know how he'd handle her calling him "Donald."
He's got a learning curve to contend with. She'll bring him up to speed quickly.
