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."

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.
