(btw you should never put Collins (ME) and "good faith" in the same sentence. It speaks to your credibility). The requirements you laid out included "influential" and none of those named have that kind of clout.

Sorry but taking the government hostage and then making demands is not acceptable. Republicans had 2 years of total control and didn't pass wall funding; the previous Senate voted 100-0 to pass a bill without wall funding but now it's the Democrats who are extreme and ideologues and need to bend in order to "get something done"? You do recall that the Democrats offered 25 billion for a wall last year, in return for a permanent DACA fix...and were turned down flat?

Stop with the false equivalency. Just stop.
