For starters, she could have qualified her "no" to Trump's "if I reopen gov


will you give me my wall". Just saying "no" cut off negotiations. They could have laid out what they might be willing to give back then, like you just applauded.

Who knows? That might have been enough to reopen govt then. I'm no Trump fan, but IMO he has shown surprising (and encouraging) reluctance to go the emergency declaration route, even after some prominent repubs threw him some shade to do it. And until yesterday, the only offers had come from him. That's not a negotiation.
