Here's The DEAL to End Partial SHUTDOWN; Dems Cool to Offer

Socio-Political-Journal... . . . "Trump’s move marks a rare outreach in a week where both sides appear to have hardened in their positions, with Trump canceling a Democratic delegation’s military flight to Afghanistan after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called on him to delay his State of the Union address earlier in the week. On Saturday, Trump described Pelosi as being “controlled by the radical left.”

"Trump’s proposal was quickly swatted down by Democrats with Pelosi coming out ahead of the announcement and saying that reports of the proposal indicated a "compilation of several previously rejected initiatives, each of which is unacceptable and in total, do not represent a good faith effort to restore certainty to people’s lives."

" 'It is unlikely that any one of these provisions alone would pass the House, and taken together, they are a non-starter," she said in a statement. "For one thing, this proposal does not include the permanent solution for the Dreamers and TPS recipients that our country needs and supports." 

"Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., also rejected it ahead of the announcement." . . .
