SCARBOROUGH: "It is symbolic of it. But again, I just got to go back to the fact that Donald Trump had $20 billion in hand for the wall and border security. He said no to that deal. He then shut down the government over $1.6 billion, saying he needed his $5.7 billion. Instead of $5.7 billion, they give him even less than the $1.6 billion they offered him a month ago. This reminds me of Homer Simpson and Lionel Hudson negotiating with Montgomery Burns where he says, 'I have another offer for you,' and hands him a slip of paper that says zero, and they go, 'We’ll take it!' And then of course Mr. Burns says, 'Release the hounds.' Well, the hounds have been released here on Donald Trump and the rationalization is laughable. Bob Costa, let’s break this down. At the independent of the day, the last government shutdown was disastrous for Donald Trump, it was disastrous politically for the Republicans. They had no way out, did they? They just basically had to take what they were offered because Mitch McConnell and the Republicans of the Senate weren’t going to take another government shutdown."
