Mike Pence: Trump won't reopen the government on the 'promise' of talks with Democrats

Vice President Pence said Monday that President Trump won't agree to reopen the federal government based only on a promise from Democrats that they will then negotiate funding for the border wall.

"The president is not going to reopen the federal government with a promise that negotiations would begin thereafter," Pence told reporters at the White House.

Democrats have said the last several days that they won't talk about border wall funding while the government is partially shut down. But Pence's remark makes it clear that the White House wants wall funding as part of a deal to reopen the government.

Will he re-open the government when terrorist attacks on air-traffic resume because TSA agents aren’t getting paid and will eventually be reduced to dangerously low numbers?
Time to stop acting like a child in a huff and more like a president.

Trump is an idiot who is propping up his worthless vanity wall on the backs of hard working Americans. He an f'n traitor.

Taking a promise from a dumbocrat is a fools errand.
