Today's paranoia: Is this whole thing now a Jared/Koch Bros. operation, modeled on criminal justice reform, that's mostly about getting an amnesty (with wall $$ a lever and fig leaf)? https://t.co/MHWV94BDQg

Note: Coulter's solution is *not* that Trump "win" wall money in the shutdown through some complicated DREAMER/DACA amnesty deal with Dems. She thinks he should just start building the wall (using inherent executive authority). https://t.co/KKrVuEt3Z2

Concession from Rep. Yarmuth (Dem House Budget chair) seems as significant as 'smart wall' concession from Clyburn https://t.co/QTZar8z5Jj

Seems a good idea. Better than giving Dems amnesty. (If Trump could somehow get Dems to propose this major concession, and then agree to it …) https://t.co/QqGblMad0N

Why isn't the same economic pressure on Pelosi? If the economy is really at stake, why not spend a few billion on border barriers that Dems have voted for before? https://t.co/DyznZ4bYpd

Another potential avenue for shutdown-ending compromise: How about 'We stop screwing around with Obamacare' for Wall (instead of trading the wall for an amnesty that will encourage a surge across the border before the wall is built)?
Surely Obamacare is something Dems care about https://t.co/VgjO4no3eX

Also–Rounds bloated Trump's (misguided) offer of amnesty for 1.8 M Dreamers into 3-4 million — plus eventually most of the parents who brought them illegally. https://t.co/bYEdNPbWlZ But ALL 11M illegals were de facto amnestied from ICE by the 'home free' enforcement provisions

??? It was clear in @NYtimes story dated Saturday that it wasn't the BRIDGE Act-the amnesty had been narrowed. https://t.co/jox1cxKBjA Good thing because BRIDGE would apparently paralyze enforcement by requiring Feds to treat basically anyone who CLAIMED to qualify as protected https://t.co/EgDedKOWIU

Jason Leopold (now of @Buzzfeed) and John Gibson go at it in 2007, largely over Leopold's wrong report about Karl Rove being indicted. I'm for redemption, but Leopold doesn't seem exactly chastened. More the opposite. Ideology compensating for screw-ups? https://t.co/yLrRX7gHrU

I don't think you need to invoke Alinsky to explain it. It's a mental imperative–like when a car cuts you off. You HAVE to then pass that car immediately to set things right. Dems have to rerun the 2016 election by stopping Trump's wall. Not just leftish base that feels this. https://t.co/fI1SrPN7x5

NOT QUITE! Assume you're talking about Rounds bill. It also codified lax Obama enforcement rules-basically if you got past the border you'd be home free-huge incentive to try https://t.co/ksESGRQyAW … Also not really $25B-wall $$$ tied up w/ restrictions https://t.co/bYEdNOUlur https://t.co/KMJ2wer8au

I suppose Trump could let the Dems dunk him on some other issue (eg global warming?) as a way to drain off some of the fervor for vindication, lightning-rod style. But that doesn't seem to be his style.

Why the "not $1" stand? 1) Many Dems see new miles of walll as "Wall of Hate." (See @GeorgeLakoff) Trump can partly defuse that by emphasizing non-hate 2) But it's also become a symbolic way of rerunning the 2016 election & winning this time. Unclear Trump can do much about that https://t.co/1D9U1hbs3q
