    Isn't that exactly what was voted on and rejected?

    Shutdown's been great for the market.

    Stocks up 10% since shutdown began

    On the 30th Day of Shutdown, CNBC gave to me, Almost Thirty Words:
    The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S and P 500 Index are up more than 10 percent since the shutdown began on Dec. 22.

    Hahaha.

    That wasn't my question. My question was: Would Trump agree to pay the workers? He refused once already.

    We don't pay hostage takers. But Obama showed us what it's like to trade 5 terrorist leaders for a traitor. I'll be honest...I didn't think Obama was that stupid.

    Lets say I agree with you (I don't). Would that make it right to do again?

    I don't believe we have done that again and I don't believe we should.

    May I ask why you disagree? Are you saying that Obama should be championed for negotiating the release of those terrorists? Please elaborate so we can better understand why you disagree.

    One American is worth more than a dozen terrorists. Hostage swaps are very common. Paying for them is bad practice.

    Can you elaborate for us what Pvt. Berghdal did exactly? Can you elaborate on what happened because of his actions? Feel free to google his platoon's mission, and neighboring company's missions' as well.

    Pvt. B wasn't just stolen off a military base. He abandoned his post and placed countless men and women in danger because of his actions.

    Do you know what happened after he left the site that evening?

    My guess is you have to check wikipedia.

    Can you tell us why releasing terrorist leaders has rectified that situation?

    How so? Did he trade 5 terrorists for a traitor? Can you please cite these sources so we can verify your claims? I appreciate it in advance and would hope you wouldn't deflect.

    Trump is holding 800,000 people hostage for 5.7 billion.
    Is this to hard for you to understand?

    How is Trump the only one holding them hostage? lol.

    The Dems could easily (emphasis on easily) say "sure, we'll help fund 5B for your wall"...when we in fact give other nations a lot more than that (emphasis on OTHER NATIONS).

    That's it? It's just stupid? Do you want to hear first hand what the soldiers in his platoon had to say about someone who intentionally surrendered himself to the enemy by leaving the fortified base in clandestine?

    Are you aware of what happened when he did that?

    Meh I don’t have an opportunity. I don’t care either way.

    See, I don’t like the GOP and I don’t like the DNC.

    But hey, 7 years for Obamacare to finally get above 50% approval. New standard?
