Looks like the Coulter wing of the party is holding sway as DJT will cause a shutdown. I think the Dems should move to get their own demand in to allow for a fair trade. What do you think it should be? Lower Medicare ages? Tighter gun controls? Tax cuts for the lower 90%?

Nothing. Do not offer any sort of trade for this xenophobe pipe dream. It must never be built.

That Mexico pays 50% of the cost. Directly, with a check. Let the God Emperor demonstrate his negotiating skills that he bragged about over and over again. Time to deliver, Mr. Trump.

Abolition of the Republican Party and deportation of anyone who has worked in Trump's administration.

That, with immediate Permanent Residency for all illegal aliens currently living in the US, with the ability to follow the normal naturalization path to citizenship would be worth considering. In my opinion, the prospect of 4 very safe Democratic Senate seats would be hard to pass up.

I would offer to Trump to build a bunch of low income housing, schools, hospitals and the like that all happen to have one wall on the border.

Depends on whether you think they should demand something they can actually get or pull a temper tantrum like The Donald.

Assuming the former, resolution of the DACA program with at minimum permanent residency.

Whatever else they demand, it should include automatic release of all tax forms filled by the president and his immediate family for the past 35 years. Give it to him and have him veto it for obviously private reasons.

I would agree to this, and more for the Dreamers.  I would grant them citizenship if they have grown up in America and know nothing of foreign lands.  Indeed, I'd extend that to some of the Dreamers who may have even had some trouble with the law (to a point).

I would also be open to a broader amnesty for other people illegally here WITH the wall than without it.

This. There is no reason at all we should throw money down the drain towards pointless security theater like "the wall" to satiate Trumps ego .

That's how much Democrats should value negotiating with Trump/Pence.

One of the following:

1. Full protection of the ACA and Roe v. Wade forever
2. Full citizenship for all DACA children born in the US, a much easier pathway to citizenship for immigrants here, and no deportation for immigrants who haven't committed felonies
3. Full release of all Trump's tax returns, as well as documents relating to Trump Foundation and any other entity he's involved with

This, plus a fix to the family separation policy.
