"He Wouldn't Negotiate"

So sayeth the chief liar, Chuckie Schumer, of his "meeting" with President Trump, supposedly to get the government back open. He says the "best negotiator in the world wouldn't negotiate." So he had to get with the Republican Senate Leader and make an agreement. The agreement they made was the exact same thing Schumer rejected before the "shutdown." No more, no less. In other words, Chuckie's side LOST. And he just can't understand that refusing to negotiate is sometimes one of the strongest negotiating techniques there is. He was PLAYED by the best negotiator in the world, but he doesn't realize it. That's why it's so good. The loser doesn't even know he lost. But the fact is, he LOST. And he heaves a sigh of relief because he thinks he won. And the government is "back open" until the next time a budget bill comes up to be approved, and he hopes to keep on with those ubiquitous "temporary stopgaps" that only last a few weeks or a month, maybe two. No actual budget bill whose passage is subject to the CAPS Chuckie doesn't want on his spending. And so on.... (Just common sense)
