DAVID ASMAN (FOX BUSINESS HOST): One thing that we thought Trump and Democrats could compromise on is infrastructure. If this could be put in the realm of "infrastructure," as opposed to the realm of "border security," it might work.

[CROSSTALK]

MELISSA FRANCIS (CO-HOST): Oh, that's a great idea.

HARRIS FAULKNER (CO-HOST): That's a good idea.

...

FAULKNER: So, why is it that we can come with ideas here among the five of us, yet all of them, 500 plus and the president, are struggling?

1. Up is down, bad is good.

[Hortensis]

2. Fox slipped in equating Democrats with something

responsible, like infrastructure. I wouldn't expect more on this theme.

9. I do. Scroll down at the link

Some host on Fox Business said it too

I’m guessing they are prepping their believers for memes and talking points. If Trump says “security infrastructure” tonight or something like that we’ll know.

[Hortensis]

11. You're right to look deeper, of course, and I'll watch for that.

3. STUPID!!

Guess people losing their houses, going hungry, working for free, is just a big joke to those rich entitled white folks.

[underpants]

4. Hell, their believers will believe and repeat everything they say

so why wouldn’t they think everybody else would?

[catbyte]

5. Yeah, that'll fool 'em.

They think the rest of us are as stupid as their viewers.

[SCVDem]

6. So how is the infrastructure in

Puerto Rico coming?
How about Flint's water?

No sense of priorities at all!

[fleur-de-lisa]

8. +1,000

[GemDigger]

7. On fox, it works. On the dems, not so much, if at all. nt

[Midnightwalk]

10. Dangerous

Reality doesn’t matter only the framing does. We can call the wall bacon and everyone loves bacon. And they boast about being geniuses for that. Absolutely despicable liars and proud of it.

12. I propose renaming fox news the ppb network

The Putin, propaganda, bullshit network

[Freethinker65]

13. Would you prefer updated bridges, over/underpasses, sewer/water systems, expressways and roads, etc.

Or a 2000 mile wall with Mexico of which substantial lengths are deemed completely unnecessary and Trump previously said would be paid for by Mexico and would not cost taxpayers a dime?

[Chemisse]

14. Good point. When lumped in under infrastructure, the wall could fare even worse.

Because there is so clearly so much work needed very badly. It makes the wall look like the joke that it is.

[klook]

15. He said he was gone build a WALL...

Now they tryin to confuse us with big-ass words!

[Adrahil]

16. Newspeak on full display.

Wanna spend $6 billion of infrastructure? Repair some goddammed bridges.

[onenote]

17. Because people would rather have a wall built on the border than bridges that they use made safe

Fox Newsies are idiots.

[RockRaven]

18. I can't tell if this is more a reflection of the shallowness and stupidity of the on-air people

or their intended audience that they're willing to call *that* a good idea.

Well, why not both?

[workinclasszero]

19. Fox noise thinks democrats are as stupid as their toothless GOP fan base

Idiots!
