Ever since Trump took office, and this situation is no different, we've seen a complete and utter lack of imagination on the part of Democrat leadership in terms of finding deals that stroke Donald's ego and get W's for the people. Their whole entire game has been to be seen "resisting"

Tulsi is right about that.

And Pelosi/Schumer totally botched that televised meeting with Trump prior to the shutdown, total grandstanding, knowing they were going to make the situation worse.

But Tulsi didnt really offer any other ideas for solving the shutdown when asked. And this is obviously much much much more on Trump and Mitch's hands than Democrats...but Dems played a role.
