  1. Someday, someone will explain to The Donald how television cameras work…

  3. Explain it to the Dems, also. The DNC should make a $5 million buy and blanket the airwaves with footage of the Trump-Pelosi-Schumer meeting, with specific emphasis on Trump claiming credit for any future shutdown. You should not be able to watch any news or prime time program in the next two weeks without seeing such an ad run 5 times.

    Will they do it? Nah, like Trump says, they’re weak, sniveling cowards.
