Does this mean Trump will start addressing the substance of what Warren says now and debate her on the actual issues at hand?

LOL, just kidding.

Does Trump have the million dollars to give? Fred isn't around to bail him out anymore.

Russian oligarchs have deep pockets.

Of course

“"I didn't say that. You'd better read it again," President Trump told reporters at the White House when asked about his $1 million offer.”

Both ways. All the time. No matter the issue.

In Brent's world it does. Also in the world of much of our political punditry.


They'd rather have crappy, half-measured policy that has bipartisan support than get something truly astounding done with only support from a single party.

I'd rather get SOMETHING done, rather than nothing, that is correct. Rarely do we get anything done that is all or nothing, because of the hard-liners on both sides of the spectrum.

Glad I'm getting insulted here, btw. That's wonderful.

We did get something done. A tax bill was passed. And we got something done on immigration too. And we had two Supreme's confirmed along with a lot of other Judges. Things are getting done.

Even if they played that game it wouldn't work. Nobody has figured out how to have it both ways more than the Republicans. It's like Brent. They have it both ways on every issue no matter what the issue is or becomes. Look at immigration for example. They locked up kids and ripped them from their parents. And, they haven't suffered one bit for it. In fact, they're more likely to keep the Senate now more than ever. And it's not the Supreme Court or Immigration that is losing them the House.

They were always likely to keep the Senate. It's a historically bad map for the Dems since the GOP is only defending 9 seats. The upside is 2020 is almost the reverse, and there will be a lot of pickup opportunities then.

Sure. And I'm sure all of those people voting Republican can justify the immigration policy. All of them.

A billionaire would cut a check and be done with it. A poor person who bet more than he could afford, would lie and whine about it.

Having it both ways.

Having some memory problems, @realDonaldTrump? Should we call for a doctor?

If he needs his daddy to bail him out again, I'll gladly extend him $60 for the shovel.

That is a misinterpretation of what I am saying.

Issue X has 4 sticking points.
Side A says: we'll concede 2 of the points we want, if Side B concedes the 2 points they want. Boom, it's a small improvement, got something done, rather than all or nothing, and stuck with no improvement to Issue X.
