Michael Bennet: Trump’s the ‘Most Idiosyncratic Deal Maker’ to Ever Be in the WH

‘We have absolutely no idea what President Trump will accept to open the government again’

EXCERPT:

BENNET: "I think we should just end it now, period. If you saw the votes yesterday on the floor of the Senate, you’ll know that there’s more than a majority of senators who want to open it. Clearly the House would like to open it. The difficulty that we have is that we’ve got somebody in the White House who’s, to be polite about it, probably the most idiosyncratic deal maker that's ever been in that place. And my Republican colleagues, and I have sympathy for them, have absolutely no idea what settlement Donald Trump will accept to open the government again. And since we don't know what, my view is that Mitch McConnell should put a clean continuing resolution on the floor, we should vote for that, the House will vote for that, and then we should override President Trump's veto. I think that’s how we should proceed if he is unwilling to do what's necessary here."
